Lianping County is located in the northeastern part of Guangdong Province, belonging to Heyuan City. It is situated at the junction of Guangdong and Ganzhou, with the JiuLian Mountain Range running through the whole territory, which is a typical Hakka area. The county has a forest coverage rate of 73.9%, and boasts natural and humanistic landscapes such as JiuLianShan National Nature Reserve and YanLong Ancient Enclosure House in Peitou Township. Lianping is characterized by ecological agriculture, producing high-quality agricultural products such as eagle's beak peaches, shiitake mushrooms and tea, among which the eagle's beak peaches have been certified as a national geographical indication product. As a place of Hakka cultural inheritance, Lianping preserves Hakka mountain songs, fire dog dance and other non-heritage projects, and the traditional Hakka house complex is unique. In recent years, Lianping has relied on its ecological advantages to develop rural tourism and create the brand of "Ecological Lianping - Recreation and Well-being", which has become an important ecological backyard of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay Area and a Hakka cultural tourism destination.
Sur is a historic city in the Eastern Province of Oman, located on the coast of the Arabian Sea, about 150 kilometers from the capital city of Muscat, and is known for its traditional shipbuilding industry and natural beauty. Once an important trading hub in the Arabian Gulf, the ancient city still retains the ruins of a 16th-century Portuguese castle and an old dockyard, and its inhabitants still practice the art of building dhows (dhows) by hand, a craft that has been inscribed on UNESCO's list of non-heritage sites. Sur is surrounded by Cape Halani, a famous turtle sanctuary that attracts many visitors each year to see the green turtles laying their eggs. The city's blend of tradition and modernity, with ancient mosques in narrow alleyways juxtaposed with modern tourist facilities, makes it an excellent place to experience the maritime culture and history of eastern Oman.
