Located in eastern Ethiopia, within the Afar region, Awash National Park is the country's oldest nature reserve, established in 1966. The park is named after the Awash River that runs through it, the river of life that nurtures a rich ecosystem. The park's diverse terrain encompasses volcanic rock formations, vast grasslands, salt marsh lakes and the magnificent Awash Falls, which cascade majestically from a 50-meter-high cliff. It is a wildlife paradise, inhabited by mammals such as giraffes, baboons, East African sword antelopes and warthogs, as well as a birdwatcher's paradise, attracting hundreds of species of birds including flamingos and vultures. As part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Awash National Park not only epitomizes Ethiopia's natural heritage, but is also an excellent destination for exploring the untouched wildness of East Africa.
Located in the western part of Chongqing Municipality, China, Dazu District is an important humanistic and natural tourist destination in Chongqing. The centerpiece of Dazu is the Dazu Rock Carvings, a World Heritage Site, which was built during the Tang and Song dynasties and is regarded as the last pinnacle of Chinese grotto art, with more than 50,000 statues spread across Baodingshan, Beishan and other areas, and is a marvel of exquisite carving techniques and profound cultural connotations.
In addition to stone carvings, Dazu is also rich in ecological resources with natural landscapes such as Longshui Lake National Tourism Resort and Yulong Mountain Forest Park. Based on the local farming culture, the specialty agricultural products such as Dazu winter vegetables and Longshui small hardware are famous. As an important bearer of Bayu culture, Dazu has convenient transportation and is quickly accessible from the main city of Chongqing, making it an ideal place for historical exploration, natural leisure and cultural experience.
