Located in the western part of Guangdong Province, Luoding is a county-level city under the administration of Yunfu City, known as the "Gateway to Western Guangdong" and the "Breadbasket of Lingnan", situated at the crossroads of Guangfu and Bagui cultures, with a long history of more than 1,400 years since it was established in the Southern Dynasty, and is one of the "Ancient Cultural Counties of Guangdong". It is one of the "Ancient Cultural Counties of Guangdong". The Changgangpo Ferry Trough in the county is known as the "Red Flag Canal of the South", which is a model of modern water conservancy engineering; Luoding has abundant products such as rice and cinnamon, and has deep agricultural roots. As an important node of the Maritime Silk Road, Luoding integrates the diverse cultures of Guangfu, Hakka and Lingnan, and retains a rich human heritage of ancient villages and ancestral halls. Nowadays, Luoding, relying on the advantages of the transportation hub, is accelerating its integration into the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and writing a new modern chapter of the millennium-old town with the synergistic development of eco-agriculture, cultural and tourism industries, and manufacturing industry.
Ulithi, a remote atoll in the Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia, is located in the hinterland of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of some 40 small islands that form a huge lagoon, making it the fourth largest atoll in the world. The isolated island has a resident population of less than 500, and is dominated by indigenous Micronesians, who retain their traditional seafaring culture and tribal customs. Surrounded by crystal clear waters and rich coral reef ecology, the atoll is a secret place for diving and sea fishing enthusiasts, but due to the lack of transportation, tourism has not yet been developed on a large scale. Historically, Eauripik served as an important U.S. naval base during World War II, and some of its remains are still visible today. The local economy relies mainly on fishing and a small amount of agriculture, and the residents live a simple life in harmony with nature, making it a "hidden paradise" in the Pacific Ocean.
