Funan County, part of Fuyang City, Anhui Province, China, is located in the northwestern part of Anhui Province, on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Huai River, and is a typical agricultural and populous county. With a total area of about 1,800 square kilometers and a population of more than 1.7 million, the county is predominantly Han Chinese, and its dialect belongs to the Central Plains Official Language.

Hoima, the capital of the Western Region of Uganda, is located in the west-central part of the country, about 225 kilometers from the capital, Kampala, and is the administrative, economic and transportation center of the west. The city is situated on the south-eastern shore of Lake Albert and is characterized by a savannah climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, which makes it suitable for agricultural development. The local economy is based on agriculture, producing coffee, cotton, corn and other crops, and in recent years has been attracting attention due to the exploration and development of petroleum resources.
