Located in west-central Burkina Faso, Da Village is one of the typical traditional villages in sub-Saharan Africa, belonging to the region of Boucle du Mouhoun. With a predominantly savannah climate, the inhabitants are mostly farmers, cultivating millet, maize and peanuts and leading a self-sufficient life. The village retains its traditional dome-domed mud huts and communal council chambers, and has a strong Mossi culture, with regular traditional dances and rituals, showcasing West Africa's original cultural charm. Though small, Da Village unites the simplicity and resilience of rural Burkina Faso, and is a window into local folklore and an excellent place to explore the traditional way of life in West Africa.
Thimphu, the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan, is located in the Wanghe Valley at the southern foot of the eastern Himalayas at an altitude of about 2,300 meters, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. As the only city in the world that has adopted GNH as its core development philosophy, Thimphu is a blend of traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture and modern governance wisdom, with a soothing pace of urbanization and a natural environment that complements the human landscape. Tashichho Dzong in the center of the city is the residence of Bhutanese government agencies and an important place for religious activities, with its wooden buildings and white walls and golden roofs highlighting the essence of traditional Bhutanese architecture. With over 60% forest cover, excellent air quality and simple people living in the surrounding area, preserving traditional crafts such as handloom weaving and thangka painting, it is an ideal place to experience the unique charm of the "Land of Happiness".
