Liannan Yao Autonomous County is located in the northwestern part of Guangdong Province, China, belonging to Qingyuan City, and is one of the three autonomous counties of ethnic minorities in Guangdong Province. Located in the mountainous area of northern Guangdong, adjacent to Hunan and Guangxi, it is known as the "Township of Yao Ethnicity", with Yao culture as its core feature.
The area is famous for its natural landscape and ethnic culture, with attractions such as the Nangang Millennium Yao Village and the Wanshan Chaowang National Stone Desert Park. The economy is mainly based on agriculture and tourism, with specialty products such as tea and bamboo shoots. Liannan Yao's "Juggling Song Hall" and "Long Encouragement" have been listed as national intangible cultural heritages.
The transportation mainly relies on the highway network, and is about 3-4 hours' drive from Guangzhou. In recent years, relying on ecological and ethnic cultural resources, it has gradually developed rural tourism and folklore experience programs, and has become a popular destination for tourists from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to explore the culture of ethnic minorities.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
