Arba Minch, the capital of the Southern Region of Ethiopia, is located in the southern part of the Rift Valley and is known as the "City of the South". This small city is surrounded by mountains and water, bordered by Lake Abaya in the north and Lake Chamo in the south, forming a unique "gateway to the lakes" between the two lakes, which is an important window for viewing African wildlife. The surrounding Omo National Park is known for its pristine tribal culture and rich biodiversity, attracting tourists from all over the world. As the economic center of the region, Arba Mench is based on agriculture and fisheries, but in recent years, tourism has grown rapidly, making it a must-visit destination for exploring the nature and people of southwestern Ethiopia.
Dahua Yao Autonomous County is located in the north central part of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in the middle reaches of Hongshui River. It is a Yao Autonomous County under the jurisdiction of Hechi City, and is known as "the hometown of Chinese ornamental stones". Karst landforms are widely spread in the territory, and the 100-mile gallery of Hongshui River winds through, with strange peaks pinching the bank and blue water like a mirror, forming a stunning landscape of "mountains like Wushan Gorge and water like Lijiang River", which is a tourist attraction for photography and ecological tourism. As a place where Yao people live, Dahua retains a strong ethnic flavor, with unique folk culture such as Yao costumes, copper drum dance and Panwang Festival, and traditional handicrafts such as Yao embroidery and silver jewelry making skills inherited to this day. Relying on hydropower resources and ecological advantages, the local area is gradually developing into a characteristic county integrating nature sightseeing and ethnic culture experience, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore the secret land of the Yao people on the banks of the Hongshui River.
