Located in the northern part of Yunlin County, Taiwan Province of China, Dabi Township is a typical agricultural township, famous throughout Taiwan for its production of rice, sauerkraut and pickles. The terrain of the township is flat, with a total area of about 44.9973 square kilometers and a population of about 18,000 people. Dabi Township is known as the "hometown of sauerkraut," and its production of sauerkraut accounts for more than 80% of all sauerkraut produced in Taiwan. The annual Sauerkraut Culture Festival has become a local specialty.
Dabi Township is rich in traditional culture, with temples such as the Sanshan King's Temple and the Hall of the North Pole in full bloom. The township has a number of well-preserved large ponds (Bei Tongs), such as Dabi Tong and Shangyi Bei, which serve both irrigation and ecological functions. These water landscapes and rural scenery form a unique rural landscape, attracting many tourists to experience the local flavor and taste local agricultural products.
Hum is located in the north-central Croatia Istria Peninsula, Guinness World Records certified "the world's smallest city". This miniature ancient city has a population of only about 20-30 people, but has a complete urban structure and a thousand years of history. Its iconic stone-walled hilltop castle, built in 1102 as a medieval military fortress, still retains its Romanesque architecture.
The 12th-century church of St. Jerome, with its frescoes in Gothic and Renaissance styles, remains in the old town of Khoum. The traditional annual "Election of the Mayor of Khum", in which the inhabitants of Khum vote for their leader on wooden boards, is a unique folklore that has been practiced for centuries. At the entrance to the city, the stone boulevard "Glagolitic Alley" inscribes the history of Croatian writing in the ancient Glagolitic alphabet.
Visitors can walk through the main street, which is only 100 meters long, and visit the hand-forged silver jewelry workshop in Hum and taste the local specialty, Biska. It is a 2-hour drive from the capital Zagreb, and it is recommended to combine this with a visit to the nearby town of Rovin. The best time to visit is from May to September, when you can take part in the medieval-themed summer festivals.
