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.
Bach Xuan is a county-level city in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam, located in the northwestern part of the Red River Delta, about 80 kilometers from the capital city of Hanoi. The city is known for its long history, culture and natural beauty, and is an important gateway for exploring the traditional culture of northern Vietnam.
Located in the area where the Red River meets the Tuo River, Bac Truong is surrounded by hills and farmland and has a tropical monsoon climate. The area is adjacent to the Hung Kings Temple complex, which is said to be the birthplace of Hung Kings, the founder of the Vietnamese nation, and attracts a large number of pilgrims to the Hung Kings Festival in March of the lunar calendar every year. Traditional handicraft villages, such as silk weaving and ceramics, remain in the area.
The economy is based on agriculture, producing rice, tea and fruits, and in recent years, eco-tourism has been gradually developed. Tourists can explore the waterfalls and forests of the San Thanh Mountain Nature Reserve or experience folk activities such as bamboo weaving and rice flour making in the countryside. Transportation is easily accessible via the Hanoi-Lao Cai highway, which is one of the hubs connecting the mountainous areas of northern Vietnam with the plains.
