It should be noted that there is no city in the U.S. state of Arizona with the name "Aztec," which actually refers to the city of Aztec in northwestern New Mexico. This San Juan County town is adjacent to Colorado and is known for the well-preserved ruins of the Pueblo civilization. Its centerpiece, Aztec Ruins National Monument, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and contains sandstone complexes built by Native Americans from the 12th to 13th centuries, such as the famous "Sun Pool" and "Moon Temple". These sandstone structures, such as the famous "Sun Pool" and "Moon Temple", demonstrate the architectural ingenuity of the ancient Anasazi people. The local economy is based on agriculture (alfalfa, corn) and tourism, attracting tens of thousands of history buffs each year. With a population of about 5,000, the community has a peaceful atmosphere for exploring Southwestern Native American culture.
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.
