Lankao County is located in the northeastern part of China's Henan Province, part of Kaifeng City, at the junction of Henan and Shandong provinces and at the last bend of the Yellow River. It has a total area of 1116 square kilometers and a population of about 850,000 people. As the birthplace of Jiao Yulu's spirit, Lankao is known nationwide as a model of sand control and disaster prevention and poverty alleviation.
Lankao has a long history and is the ancient name of the county established in Qin Dynasty. The sandy wasteland formed due to the flooding of the Yellow River once plagued the local area for a long time. After Jiao Yulu led the masses to plant paulownia trees to control the situation, it has now become a nationally renowned paulownia tree plate and ethnic musical instrument production base. Geographically, the area has a temperate monsoon climate, and agriculture is dominated by wheat, corn and peanuts.
In recent years, Lankao has vigorously developed green energy and furniture manufacturing industries, and has been approved as a national-level circular economy demonstration zone. The annual production and sales volume of ethnic musical instruments in Xuba Village accounts for 30% of the country, and it is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Ethnic Musical Instruments". The Zhengxu high-speed railway station has made Lankao integrated into the 1-hour economic circle of Zhengzhou, and the location advantage has been significantly enhanced.
Schellenberg is a historic municipality in the north of Liechtenstein and one of the smallest administrative regions in the country, situated on the gentle slopes of the Rhine Valley, close to the Swiss border. Although small, the town carries the story of Liechtenstein's origins - the ruins of the "Upper Liechtenstein" castle, which is a testament to the Liechtenstein family's acquisition of territories in the 13th century, and the remains of its medieval stone walls still attract history buffs to explore the town. The town of Schellenberg is characterized by its tranquil atmosphere. Schellenberg is known for its idyllic, rural atmosphere, where visitors can stroll along winding paths with views of the Alps and the Rhine, or explore the traditional wooden houses and family-owned breweries for a taste of Liechtenstein's slower pace of life. As an important node of Liechtenstein's "Culture Trail", traditional events such as the Medieval Market are held every year, allowing visitors to experience the richness of this miniature country in a relaxed atmosphere.
