Located in Towner County, North Dakota, United States, Dresden is a small community with a focus on agriculture. Located in the Plains region of the north-central part of the state, the surrounding expansive farmland is the main landscape, and economic activity centers on wheat, soybean, and other crops, as well as animal husbandry. The climate is temperate continental, with long, cold winters and short, warm summers, and the area is sparsely populated, maintaining a typically rural and tranquil atmosphere. Despite its small size, Dresden carries the history of the local agricultural culture, and with a close-knit community life and residents mostly engaged in land-related industries, it is representative of one of the many small agricultural towns in North Dakota.
Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, is located on the country's central plateau at an altitude of about 2,350 meters and has a pleasant climate that has been described as the "Italy of Africa". The city is a blend of Italian colonial architecture and local culture, with a large number of well-preserved modernist buildings, including futuristic churches, Art Deco theaters, and colorful homes. An example of early 20th century urban planning, its historic center was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. Asmara is not only a political and economic hub, but is also known for its unique cultural scene and laid-back pace of life, and is a window to explore Eritrea's history and diverse civilizations.
