Mareth is a historic town in southeastern Tunisia, located in the Gabès Governorate, near the Libyan border. It is famous for the Mareth Defense Line during World War II, which was an important battleground for fierce fighting between Allied and Axis forces. Today, Mares retains military ruins and museums that attract history buffs to explore.
The economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry, producing olives, dates and cereals. The population is small, predominantly Berber and Arab, with a strong cultural tradition. The climate is dry and hot, on the edge of the desert, and the natural landscape is predominantly semi-desert. Conveniently connected by road to the main cities of Tunisia, it is one of the gateways for exploring the southern desert region.
Located in the core of the ancient city of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, Gusu District is the living legacy of over 2,500 years of Suzhou's history, known as "Gusu" in ancient times because of the capital city of Wu Wanggu, and the essence of "Paradise on Earth". The typical style of the Jiangnan water town is condensed here: world cultural heritages such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Liouyuan Garden are situated in the center, and the thousand-year-old streets and alleys, such as Pingjiang Road and Shantang Street, have retained the texture of "small bridges and flowing water, whitewashed walls and tiles"; the Kunqu Opera, the commentary on the opera, and the Su embroidery and other national non-legacy heritage are alive and well in this area, which carries the deep heritage of Wu culture. Nowadays, Gusu is not only a benchmark for cultural and tourism integration, attracting global attention with the protection and adaptive use of the ancient city, but also the core area for the synergistic development of Suzhou's economy and culture, allowing the millennium-long cultural lineage to be revitalized in the new era.
