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.
Macahuasi is a remote town in the Puno region of southern Peru, located in the high Andean mountain range at an altitude of about 4,300 meters. The area is known for its arid highland climate and unique natural landscapes, surrounded by vast deserts, volcanic landscapes and the remains of ancient Inca culture.
Located in the Altiplano plateau of Peru, Macusani has a cold and dry climate with large temperature differences between day and night. The surrounding terrain is dominated by volcanic rocks and windswept landscapes. Nearby are the famous Petroglifos de Macahuasi, rock paintings thought to be pre-Columbian in origin, which show the totems and symbols of the ancient civilization of the region.
The population is predominantly indigenous Quechua, and the economy is based on highland animal husbandry (e.g. alpaca farming) and small-scale agriculture. Due to its remote location, tourism is underdeveloped, but the site attracts some adventure enthusiasts and archaeologists to study the rock carvings and highland ecology.
Makusani is not easily accessible, relying mainly on dirt roads to connect to the city of Puno, the capital of the Puno region. Visitors will need to arrive by off-road vehicle or on foot, and are advised to visit during the dry season (May-October) and to take precautions against altitude sickness.
