Located in the southwestern part of Guizhou Province and belonging to the Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Qiuxinan, Ceheng County is situated in the combined part of Yunnan-Guizhou-Guizhou provinces, and is one of the important birthplaces of Buyei culture, which is regarded as "the first county of Buyei in China". The Beipanjiang River passes through here, and the karst landforms and subtropical climate blend together to form a natural picture of "beautiful mountains and beautiful water, ecological livability". The population of Buyei people accounts for more than 70% of the territory, and traditional customs such as "March 3" and "Valley Flower Festival" have been inherited for thousands of years, and the non-heritage culture such as Buyei folk songs, eight-note singing, embroidery and batik is unique and charming. Relying on the ecological advantages, Xueheng vigorously develops oil tea, forest economy and other characteristic industries. Ten thousand acres of oil tea forests along the Beipanjiang River and the ancient fortress of Ban Chen have become popular destinations for eco-tourism and ethnic culture experience, which is a perfect place to experience the original Buyei style and Guizhou mountain scenery.
Rogatica is a town in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), part of the entity of Republika Srpska, located in the Drina River valley about 60 kilometers east of Sarajevo. The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level, and has a temperate continental climate with cold and snowy winters and mild, wet summers.
Rogatica has a long history, first documented in the 14th century, and developed as a trading hub during the Ottoman period. The city retains its 16th-century Ottoman bridges, mosques and traditional stone buildings, and is characterized by a combination of Balkan and Eastern cultures. The city was severely damaged during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), but was gradually rebuilt after the war, and today the mainstay of the economy is forestry, animal husbandry and small-scale industry.
Rogatica is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty and is close to the Sutjeska National Park (one of the last virgin forests in Europe) and the famous Drina River Gorge. Visitors can explore war memorial sites, hike mountain trails, or experience the folk culture of traditional villages. The town has a population of about 11,000 (2013 data) and is connected to Sarajevo's border with Serbia by the M5 highway, making it an important stopover for exploring the nature and history of eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
