Maretimo is the westernmost island of the Aeolian Islands, part of the province of Trapani in Sicily. This volcanic island of about 12 square kilometers is known as "the last secret of the Mediterranean" for its unspoiled nature and crystal clear waters.
The highest point on the island, Montefalcone, is 686 meters above sea level and offers a spectacular view of the entire archipelago. The surrounding waters are protected by a marine reserve, rich in marine life and rare communities of red coral. The unique landscape of sea caves and cliffs makes it a paradise for divers.
Maretimo preserves the ruins of an ancient Roman villa and a 19th-century defensive fortress, and the island's traditional white houses contrast with the blue sea and sky. Ancient fishing traditions are maintained and freshly caught tuna and sea bass are specialties.
Ferries run to the island every summer from Trapani and Milazzo in Sicily. Due to strictly controlled development, there are only two small hotels on the island, which maintains a peaceful and escapist atmosphere for travelers seeking a pristine natural experience.
Located in the northeast of Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, on the west bank of the Yellow River, Heyang is known as "Yuxin Country", which is the birthplace of the famous poem "Guan Ju" of the Classic of Poetry, and has a rich historical and cultural background. It is located in the core area of the Yellow River Golden Triangle, relying on Liangshan Mountain in the south and bordering on the Yellow River in the north, with the largest wetland ecosystem in the Yellow River Basin, Qiachuan Wetland, which is known as "Little Jiangnan", and the reed swamps, hot springs, and Yellow River mudflats constitute a unique natural landscape. Heyang is rich in folk culture, and the national non-legacy "Heyang Jumping Opera" is regarded as a "living fossil of Chinese opera", and folk arts such as Donglei gongs and drums, and the production of noodles and flowers are unique. In addition, agricultural products such as red grapes and apples in Heyang are famous both inside and outside the province, which is a model for the integrated development of eco-agriculture and cultural tourism.
