Fumin County, belonging to Kunming City, Yunnan Province, is located in the north of central Yunnan, only 30 kilometers away from downtown Kunming, and is Kunming's "backyard" and an important ecological barrier. The mild climate and four seasons of spring have given rise to the reputation of "the town of prunes". Fumin's prunes are famous for their large size, sweet flavor and juiciness, and the annual prune festival in June and July attracts many tourists. In addition to prunes, grapes, cherries and other specialty fruits are also famous in central Yunnan. The Mantis River meanders through its territory, and it has natural and humanistic landscapes such as Luofu Mountain and Beigu Shuixiang, which make it an ideal destination for leisure vacation and ecological picking. Relying on the advantages of Kunming's suburbs, Fumin is actively developing modern agriculture and rural tourism to create an ecologically vibrant city that is pleasant to live and work in.
Sara is the capital of the Sara Province of Burkina Faso, located in the northern region of the country, about 200 kilometers from the capital city of Ouagadougou. As the economic and administrative center of the north, Sara serves as a trade hub for the surrounding agricultural region, with cotton, groundnuts and cereals as the main cash crops.
Sara is situated in the Sudano-Sahelian climate zone, with a year-round dry and rainy season, and an average annual temperature of around 28°C. The city's surroundings are characterized by a savannah landscape, which is influenced by the Sahara Desert, and water scarcity is a challenge during the dry season.
The population is predominantly Mossi, with Islam as the main religion. The city retains a traditional African market culture, with the weekly open-air market being an important social and commercial event. Steady progress has been made in recent years in terms of education and healthcare infrastructure, but it remains one of the regions of Burkina Faso with a high poverty rate.
Sara is connected to Ouagadougou by the national highway N3 and is an important node in the road network of northern Burkina Faso. The city does not have a railroad or an airport, and relies mainly on road transportation for border trade with neighboring countries (e.g., Mali, Niger).
