Deva is the capital of Hunedoara County in western Romania, located on the banks of the river Mureş, with a population of about 60,000 people. The city is famous for the hilltop Deva Castle, a 13th-century fortress perched on a volcanic cone that offers panoramic views and symbolizes the history of the region. The economy of Dva is based on industry and services, and it is also a transportation hub, connecting it to the Carpathian region.
Dva has a long history, first recorded in 1269, and was once a fortress of the Kingdom of Hungary. The city retains medieval buildings such as the castle and the Church of the Holy Cross. Culturally, Deva has museums, theaters, and is close to the ruins of the Dacian civilization, reflecting Romania's diverse heritage.

Mado County is located in Goluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, China, in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with an average altitude of more than 4,200 meters, and is known as the "County of a Thousand Lakes". As the source of the Yellow River, its ecological status is extremely important, and it is the core area of the Sanjiangyuan National Park.
Mardo has a group of plateau freshwater lakes, such as Zaling Lake and Eling Lake, as well as magnificent landforms, such as the Ba Yan Ka La Mountains. The typical highland cold climate makes the area long and cold in winter and short and cool in summer. The unique biodiversity makes it a habitat for rare species such as Tibetan antelope and wild yak.
The local area is dominated by Tibetan culture, preserving the traditional nomadic life and religious customs. The main attractions include the Yellow River Source Monument, the Ox-Head Monument and natural wonders such as the Sea of Starry Nights, which are suitable for eco-tourism, photographic adventure and plateau cultural experience activities. It should be noted that the high-altitude environment requires tourists to prepare for health adaptation in advance.
