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.
Located in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, China, Khorgos is on the border between China and Kazakhstan, and is an important post on the ancient Silk Road and a core node city under the current Belt and Road Initiative. As a State Class I land port, Khorgos Port is an important window for China's opening up to the west, with dual highway and railroad channels, and connected with Dostyk Port in Kazakhstan, which is a must-pass place for the China-European Union (CEU) "Middle Passage". Relying on the unique location advantage, Khorgos vigorously develops cross-border trade, logistics and warehousing, cross-border e-commerce and other industries, and has set up the Khorgos Economic Development Zone, which has attracted many enterprises to move in. With the integration of multi-ethnic cultures, border flavor and modern vitality, it is the frontier of China's opening up to the west and an important platform for economic and trade cooperation.
