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.
Tainan is a famous historical and cultural city in Taiwan, which started the modern history of Taiwan since the Dutch founded the city of Jelanchu in 1624. It is home to the largest number of monuments in Taiwan, such as the Anping Ancient Fortress, the Chikan Tower, and the Confucius Temple, each of which carries a deep historical heritage. As the earliest "capital" of Taiwan, Tainan is a blend of Ming and Qing architectural styles, Minnan culture and aboriginal flavors, and is also famous for its old-fashioned snacks in the streets and alleys, from danzai noodles and oyster omelettes to coffin boards and mung bean pastries, all of which have attracted countless diners to come here. Strolling through Tainan is like traveling through time and space, experiencing the slow-living charm of the years.
