Located in the southeast of Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province, Dari County is situated in the core area of the Sanjiangyuan National Park, an important ecological barrier at the source of the Yellow River, with an average elevation of 4,000 meters above sea level, and possessing vast alpine meadows, wetlands and rare wildlife resources. As a settlement area mainly inhabited by Tibetans, it retains a strong tradition of nomadic culture, far-reaching influence of Tibetan Buddhism culture, and a mixture of natural and humanistic landscapes. The territory is rich in Gesar cultural relics, and the annual horse racing and equestrian performances and other folk activities attract many tourists. The local economy is dominated by ecological animal husbandry, with yak, Tibetan sheep and other specialty livestock products of excellent quality. In recent years, Dari has relied on ecological advantages to promote the synergistic development of eco-tourism and green industry, and is a unique destination for experiencing plateau nature and Tibetan culture.
Bhutan Xinbe may be a transliteration or misspelling of the capital city Thimphu, located in western Bhutan at an altitude of about 2,300 meters above sea level, is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. As the only capital city in the world that does not use traffic lights (retaining the tradition in 2019), Thimphu blends ancient dzongkhag architecture with modern developments, with attractions such as the Sintokha Dzong, National Monument, and the Royal Palace of Bhutan highlighting its cultural heritage. Built on a mountainous terrain, the city has over 72% forest cover and is known as the "City in the Clouds" for its clean air. Residents are predominantly Dzongkha, with traditional costumes and festivals such as the Thimphu festival, and tourism is strictly regulated and based on sustainable experiences, making it an ideal place to experience Bhutan's "National Happiness Index" philosophy.
