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.
Located on the banks of the Tigris River, about 125 kilometers north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, Samarra is one of the most important Shiite holy places in Iraq and a UNESCO World Heritage City. The city was founded in the 9th century AD during the Abbasid period and served as the capital of the dynasty, and still retains a large number of architectural masterpieces from the Islamic Golden Age. The most famous landmark is the Al-Askari Mosque, whose golden-domed vault is famous for being inlaid with 24 tons of pure gold, and which houses the mausoleum of Muhammad Ibn Hassan, the twelfth Shia Imam, and attracts millions of worshippers from around the globe for pilgrimage every year. In addition, the Great Mosque of Samarra (Spiral Minaret), with its 52-meter-high spiral minaret, is a unique symbol of Islamic architectural art. After the war, Samarra is gradually restoring its historical monuments and has become an important showcase of Iraq's cultural heritage and religious diversity.
