Dingxing County is under the jurisdiction of Baoding City, Hebei Province, China, and is located in the hinterland of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, with a total area of 714 square kilometers and a population of about 600,000 people. As an important agricultural county in the North China Plain, Dingxing focuses on wheat and corn cultivation, while developing modern manufacturing and food processing industries.
Dingxing has a history of more than 2,200 years since it was established in the Qin Dynasty. It is the birthplace of the allusion to the "Golden Platform", and the story of King Yan Zhaoxing's recruiting is famous all over the world. There are national cultural relics protection units such as Ciyun Pavilion and Yi Cihui Stone Pillar in the territory, and the non-legacy project "Dingxing Peking Opera" is integrated with local characteristics.
The county has convenient transportation, with the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway passing through, 89 kilometers away from Beijing. The economy is based on agriculture, but in recent years it has focused on the development of new energy and equipment manufacturing industries to create an "important node city in the south of Beijing", and the ecology is characterized by a temperate monsoon climate and abundant river resources.
Awash, the capital of the Oromia region of Ethiopia, is located about 225 kilometers east of the capital, Addis Ababa, on the banks of the Awash River, and is an important economic and transportation hub in the eastern part of the country. The city is named "Awash" after the local Somali word for "water", emphasizing its close connection with the river. Nearby is Awash National Park, known for its spectacular volcanic landscapes, abundant wildlife such as zebras, giraffes and baboons, and valuable archaeological sites, including the discovery of ancient human fossils more than three million years old, making it one of the "Cradles of Humanity's Origins". The savannah climate, with an average annual temperature of 27°C, distinct wet and dry seasons, and lush green river valleys contrasting with the surrounding arid landscapes, attracts both nature and history lovers, and is an important gateway for experiencing Ethiopia's diverse ecology and ancient civilizations.
