Marjayoun is a border town in the Nabatiyeh Governorate in southern Lebanon, located near the Lebanese-Israeli borderline, about 80 kilometers from the capital Beirut. Historically, it was an important strategic location, and some of its historical sites are still visible today, including old churches and Ottoman-era buildings. The local economy is predominantly agricultural, producing grapes, olives, citrus and other crops, with grape cultivation being particularly well known and the grapes produced are used for winemaking and drying. The natural beauty of the area around Markeba, with its fertile plains and rolling hills, is an important agricultural area in southern Lebanon.

It is the "Ancient County of Lingnan and the Capital of Guangfu", and an important connection point of the land and sea Silk Road. With a long history, the county was established in the sixth year of the Yuan Ding reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was called Guangxin in ancient times. It is the birthplace of the Cantonese language and the Guangfu culture, and has many historical relics, such as Guangxin Pagoda and the ancient city wall of Fenkai.
The ecological environment of Fenkai is superior, with the Tropic of Cancer passing through the county, and the forest coverage rate reaches more than 80%, which is known as the "Emerald of the South".
