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.
Located in Malmö, an important city in the south of Sweden, Merklin Tower (Turning Torso) is the tallest building in the Nordic countries and an iconic symbol of modern Swedish architecture. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the 190-meter-high skyscraper's unique twisting shape is inspired by the twisting posture of the human body.
Completed in 2005, the Merklin Tower is a 54-story building containing office space, luxury apartments and conference facilities. Each floor of the building rotates 1.6 degrees relative to the floor below, and the overall rotation is 90 degrees, an innovative structure that not only creates a dynamic appearance, but also demonstrates Sweden's leadership in the field of sustainable construction. The building is powered by renewable energy and has received several environmental certifications.
Situated along the Öre Straits, Merkeling Tower has witnessed Malmö's transformation from an industrial city to a center of the knowledge economy. It is connected to Copenhagen by the Øresund Bridge, a symbol of cross-regional cooperation. As the centerpiece of the redevelopment of Malmö's West Harbor area, the building attracts tourists and architecture enthusiasts from all over the world, and has become one of the most recognizable tourist attractions in Sweden's third-largest city.
