Located in the southeastern part of Hunan Province, Chenzhou is an important "Gateway to South Hunan" connecting South China and Central China. Known as the "City in the Woods", the city is home to natural treasures such as Dongjiang Lake and Mount Mangshan: the crystal clear water of Dongjiang Lake and the picturesque morning scene of the Xiaodongjiang River in the mist; and the precipitous mountains of Mount Mangshan, with its sea of clouds and strange pines, are a breathtaking sight. Chenzhou is not only the "hometown of non-ferrous metals", but also carries a profound history and culture, with ancient villages in southern Hunan and the legend of Suxian telling a thousand years of cultural lineage, and red tourism resources, such as the memorial site of the southern Hunan Uprising, bearing witness to the revolutionary years. Nowadays, this ecological livable city is taking landscape as its soul, integrating nature and humanity, and attracting visitors from all over the world.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan.
