Lishui City, located in the southwest of Zhejiang Province, China, is the largest prefecture-level city in Zhejiang Province, and is known as the "Green Valley of Zhejiang" and "China's First City of Ecology". The city has an excellent ecological environment, with more than 80% of its area covered by forests, and is home to many national nature reserves, scenic spots and historical and cultural relics.
Lishui is famous for its unique natural scenery, including famous attractions such as Jinyun Xanadu, Yunhe Terraced Fields and Guyan Painting Town. Meanwhile, as a major settlement of the She ethnic group, Lishui has preserved rich minority cultures and traditional customs. In recent years, Lishui has been actively developing a green economy, with eco-agriculture and rural tourism becoming its key industrial features.
With convenient transportation, this city can be quickly connected to major cities such as Hangzhou and Wenzhou via high-speed railways and highways, making it an important eco-tourism destination and leisure resort in the Yangtze River Delta region.
Bitam is a border town in the north-eastern part of the Gabonese Republic, an important town in the Woleu-Ntem province. Situated on Gabon's borders with Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon, about 450 kilometers from the capital Libreville, it is uniquely situated as an active hub of border trade between the three countries.
Bitam's economy is based on agriculture, forestry and border trade. The surrounding area is rich in cash crops such as cocoa and coffee, as well as timber resources. Its border town attributes make it an important gateway for Gabon's merchandise flow with neighboring countries. In recent years, with the development of Gabon's mining industry, the region's potential for resource development has also come under scrutiny.
Bitam is a multi-ethnic city, with the Fang as its main inhabitants, and retains a rich traditional culture. The city is connected to other major cities in Gabon by the national highway N2 and has some transportation infrastructure. Despite its small size, the city's role as a border hub gives it a place in the regional economy.
