Sabija is a small city in Paktika Province in eastern Afghanistan, located in a remote mountainous area bordering Pakistan, with a terrain dominated by mountains and hills, an arid climate with little rain, cold winters and hot summers. The local residents are mainly Pashtuns, who make their living through agriculture and animal husbandry, planting crops such as wheat and corn, and raising goats and sheep. Due to the remoteness and long-term situation, the infrastructure is relatively weak, but in recent years, with humanitarian assistance, education and medical conditions have gradually improved. The city has retained its traditional tribal culture, with most residents practicing Islam and living in more conservative customs. As a small city in the border area of Afghanistan, Sabija is both a center of life for the local people and an important hub connecting the surrounding villages.
Located in the southwestern part of Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and at the junction of Jin, Hebei and Mongolia, Weixian County is known as "the first state in the western part of Beijing". This thousand-year-old city was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the existing ancient city walls of Weizhou, Zhenwu Temple, Jade Emperor Pavilion and other monuments, showing the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among them, Nuanquan Ancient Town's Xigubao Castle is known as the "Museum of Ancient Castles in Northern China", and the playing of tree flowers (an ancient folk custom of melting iron and splashing it into flowers) has been included in the list of national non-heritages. In addition, the paper-cutting of Weixian County is famous for its combination of yin and yang carving and rich colors, and is regarded as the "hometown of paper-cutting art". There are also natural landscapes such as the Sky Grassland and the Little Wutai Mountain, which combine history, folklore and ecological beauty, making it a unique destination for experiencing the flavors of northern Hebei.
