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.
Located in the northeastern part of Beijing, Miyun District of Beijing is an important ecological conservation area and water source protection area of the capital city, and is famous for the Miyun Reservoir in its territory. As the largest reservoir in North China, Miyun Reservoir is an important source of drinking water for Beijing, nourishing millions of citizens and serving as a model for the community of "mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes, grasses and sand". The area is rich in ecological resources, with a forest coverage of 73.1%, and boasts natural and cultural landscapes such as the Simatai Great Wall (a World Heritage Site), the Gubei Water Town ("Wuzhen North"), and the Black Dragon Pool, as well as scenic spots in all seasons: enjoying the mountain flowers in spring, playing in the turquoise water in summer, watching the red foliage in autumn, and savoring the ice and snow in winter. As a tourist destination in the suburbs of Beijing, Miyun combines ecological protection and cultural inheritance, and is the first choice of citizens for leisure and vacation, experiencing the flavor of the suburbs of Beijing, and is also a vivid sample of practicing the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden silver mountains".
