Atar is an important city in northwestern Mauritania and the capital of the province of Adrar, located on the edge of the Sahara Desert about 440 kilometers from the capital, Nouakchott. As the third largest city in Mauritania, Atar is the gateway to the desert towns of Sharm el-Sheikh and Tijikja, and has a long history and unique cultural heritage. Scattered around the city are historical sites such as ancient petroglyphs and the Kouba Mosque, which bear witness to the transformation of civilization in the Sahara. Attar is also a traditional center of desert trade, where local handicrafts and agricultural and pastoral products are distributed, while its proximity to Mount Ain Ben Tourak (the highest peak in Mauritania) and the Rigiz National Park makes it an important base for exploring the natural beauty of the Sahara, attracting many tourists and explorers.
Nyingchi Yi Autonomous County, located in the northwest of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces, is situated in the hinterland of Hengduan Mountainous Region, with the Jinsha River meandering through it. It is one of China's largest counties inhabited by the Yi ethnic group, with Mosuo, Pumi and other ethnic minorities living in the area. The area is characterized by a multiculturalism, and is particularly famous for the Mosuo matriarchal culture and the custom of "walking marriage". Lugu Lake, the pearl of the plateau, with its crystal-clear water and the surrounding Mosuo villages built on the mountains in harmony with nature, is both an ecological tourist attraction and a secret place to experience unique ethnic customs. Nyingchi is an ideal place to explore the charms of Yunnan's borderland, with its majestic landscapes and simple culture.
