Located in the southern part of China's capital, Daxing District of Beijing is the core node of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei synergistic development and an important carrier for the expansion of the capital's functions. As the location of Daxing International Airport, the "first national gateway of China", the district has built up a network of aviation hubs facing the world, accelerating the convergence of international flows of people, logistics and information. In the region, the airside economic zone, the national new media industry base, and the biomedical base are the core, focusing on the development of high-end manufacturing, digital economy, and green industry, forming a dual-wheel-drive pattern of "aviation+industry". At the same time, Daxing relies on the watermelon in Panggezhuang, the ancient mulberry in Yulin and other special agricultural resources to create a brand of integration of agriculture, culture and tourism, combined with the ecological landscape of Nanhaizi Elk Park and other ecological landscapes, to show the "ancient and modern integration, blue and green" urban style. Convenient transportation networks (such as the Daxing Airport Line and the Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway) connect the urban area with the airport and the Xiongan New Area, helping Daxing to become a new gateway for international exchanges and a new high ground for industrial innovation that connects North China and radiates across the country.
Located in the Central Valley of California, USA, Merced is a major city in the San Joaquin Valley region, approximately 110 kilometers from the state capital of Sacramento and within a two-hour drive of both San Francisco and Los Angeles. As the home of the University of California Merced (UC Merced), the youngest campus in the University of California system, the city has attracted many scientific and technological talents by focusing on higher education and innovative industries as the core of its development. Agriculture is the backbone of the local economy, and the fertile land of the Central Valley has made it a core production area for grapes, cotton, almonds, and other crops. At the same time, the city relies on the tourism resources of the neighboring Yosemite National Park (about 1.5 hours' drive) to blend natural exploration with urban vitality, making it a livable and entrepreneurial place in Central California.
