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.
Nyingchi Yi Autonomous County, located in the northwest of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces, is situated in the hinterland of Hengduan Mountainous Region, with the Jinsha River meandering through it. It is one of China's largest counties inhabited by the Yi ethnic group, with Mosuo, Pumi and other ethnic minorities living in the area. The area is characterized by a multiculturalism, and is particularly famous for the Mosuo matriarchal culture and the custom of "walking marriage". Lugu Lake, the pearl of the plateau, with its crystal-clear water and the surrounding Mosuo villages built on the mountains in harmony with nature, is both an ecological tourist attraction and a secret place to experience unique ethnic customs. Nyingchi is an ideal place to explore the charms of Yunnan's borderland, with its majestic landscapes and simple culture.
