Dujiangyan, located in Dujiangyan City, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China, is the world's oldest and only surviving grand water conservancy project featuring water diversion without a dam, which was built in 256 B.C.E. by the father and son of Li Bing, the governor of Shu County in the Qin Dynasty. For more than 2,000 years, it has been playing the role of flood control and irrigation, making the Chengdu Plain the "Land of Heaven" with thousands of miles of fertile land. As a World Heritage Site, Dujiangyan not only demonstrates the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, but also integrates with natural landscapes such as Mount Qingcheng, making it a tourist attraction that combines history, culture and natural sceneries, and attracts tourists from all over the world to come and explore this "living water conservancy museum".
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
