Located in the south of Shandong Province, Luling County is subordinate to Linyi City and is situated at the junction of Lu and Suzhou Provinces. It is a cultural city with a long history and is known as "Ancient County of a Thousand Years" and "Wine Capital of Huaxia". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lanling County was set up, which is the hometown of Xunzi, and the Confucian culture has been deeply inherited here, and "Lanling Wine and Tulip" is even more famous in the world because of Li Bai's poem. Modern Lanling is an important vegetable production base in China, and "Cangshan Garlic" (now called Lanling Garlic) is famous both at home and abroad. The integration of agriculture and culture and tourism has led to the development of the Pressure Oil Gully Scenic Spot, Lanling National Agricultural Park and other famous attractions, which not only continue the historical cultural lineage, but also revitalize the vitality of the new era.
Torit is the capital of Eastern Equatoria State and is located in the southeastern part of South Sudan, adjacent to the borders of Kenya and Uganda. The city is situated on a hilly terrain and has a savannah climate, with the year divided into rainy and dry seasons.
Torit has an important historical place in the independence process of South Sudan and was one of the early strongholds of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM). The population is dominated by indigenous groups such as the Lotukos, most of whom practice Christianity or traditional religions, and the official languages are Juba Arabic and English.
The economy is based on subsistence agriculture and livestock farming, with sorghum, maize and cassava as the main crops. The city's infrastructure is rudimentary, lacking a steady supply of electricity and asphalt roads, and transportation relies on dirt roads to connect to surrounding areas.
Although Torit is surrounded by natural attractions such as Mount Imatong, tourism has not yet developed due to the security situation and infrastructure constraints. The city currently faces humanitarian challenges, but remains an important window into South Sudanese village life and culture.
