Baoying County, belonging to Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is located in the hinterland of the Lixiahe River Plain, where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through, and is known as the "Hometown of Lotus Roots in China" and the "Hometown of Mushrooms in China". With a dense water network and abundant produce, Baoying is one of the first national ecological demonstration zones and an important node of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Historically, Baoying was named after the "National Treasure", and has a rich cultural heritage, with monuments such as the "Nine Miles and One Thousand Duns" Han Tomb Complex. Nowadays, with lotus root industry as the core, ecological agriculture and rural tourism, Baoying is an ecologically livable city with the warmth of the Jiangnan water town and the abundance of the Central Jiangsu Plain, which makes Baoying a pleasant place to live and work.
Located on the eastern coast of Kenya, close to the Indian Ocean, Marafa is famous for its unique Hell's Kitchen geological wonderland. This red sandstone landscape is eroded by wind and rain to form deep valleys and colorful rock formations, showing brilliant light and shadow at sunrise and sunset, making it a popular destination for photographers and nature lovers. The area is predominantly agricultural, growing tropical crops such as coconuts and cashews, and is inhabited by mostly Gikuyu and coastal tribes, with traditional handicrafts and music culture well preserved. Although it is not a popular tourist city, its pristine natural scenery and simple folk style add a touch of hidden color to eastern Kenya.
