Makamba is the capital of Makamba Province in the south of the Republic of Burundi, located about 160 kilometers south of the capital city of Bujumbura, adjacent to the Tanzanian border, which is an important agricultural and trade hub in the country. Located in the tropical grassland climate zone and surrounded by hilly terrain, it is rich in coffee, tea, corn and other crops, and the local economy is dominated by agriculture, with some residents engaged in cross-border trade. As the center of Makamba province, the city has basic healthcare and educational facilities, and serves as a distribution hub for goods from the surrounding area. Despite its relatively weak infrastructure, its unique geographical location and agricultural potential make it a key player in the development of southern Burundi.
Ziliujing District, located in the south of Sichuan Province, is a municipal district of Zigong City, named after the ancient salt wells that flowed from the city, and is known as the core area of the "Millennium Salt Capital". As the birthplace of Zigong's salt industry, Ziliujing District retains the former site of salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty, and the site of the Tianche (derrick) and other industrial cultural heritages, which have witnessed the glorious history of well salt mining in the BaShu region. The Zigong Dinosaur Museum in the district is one of the world's three major dinosaur site museums, treasuring a large number of complete dinosaur fossils, while the Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival is a national intangible cultural heritage, known at home and abroad for its grand scale and exquisite craftsmanship.
