Located in the northeast of Guangdong Province, at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Gan provinces, Meizhou is the hometown of Marshal Ye Jianying and is known as the "Hakka Capital of the World". As the most representative Hakka settlement in the world, Meizhou has preserved a strong Hakka culture, with unique features such as the Dragon House, Hakka songs, and Hakka cuisine (e.g. salt-baked chicken and pork with preserved vegetables). With its beautiful mountains and ecology, it boasts national tourist attractions such as Yan Nan Fei Tea Fields and Yan Ming Lake, making it an important ecological and cultural tourist destination in northeastern Guangdong. Meizhou is also the famous "hometown of soccer", with a profound soccer culture. In recent years, Meizhou has relied on Hakka cultural resources and ecological advantages to vigorously develop cultural and tourism industries and modern agriculture (such as golden pomelo and honey pomelo), and promote high-quality economic and social development.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
