Mendi is a town in the Oromia region of western Ethiopia, located in the highland area, with an average altitude of about 2,400 meters above sea level, with a mild and pleasant climate and small temperature differences throughout the year. As the administrative and commercial center of the region, Mendi is surrounded by agriculture, producing coffee, wheat, corn and other crops. The coffee industry is an important pillar of the local economy, and its high-quality coffee beans have a unique flavor due to the high-altitude planting environment. Most of the local residents are Oromo, and traditional handicrafts such as weaving and pottery making have been well preserved. Folklore events such as harvest festivals are held every year to attract tourists from the surrounding area. Despite its relatively simple infrastructure, Mendi's natural beauty and simplicity make it a window to experience Ethiopian village life.
Xinlin, belonging to the Daxinganling region of Heilongjiang province, is located in the eastern side of the Yilhuli mountain range of the Daxinganling, one of the northernmost administrative regions of China, known as the "Emerald of Xing'an". The forest coverage here is over 90%, with well-preserved primitive cold-temperate coniferous forest ecosystems, four distinct seasons, cool and pleasant in summer and silver in winter, which is a natural oxygen bar and summer resort. As a key state-owned forest area, Xinlin takes forestry as the pillar industry, and at the same time relies on ecological resources to develop forest recreation, ice and snow tourism and other specialty industries. Within the territory, there are natural landscapes such as the Bizhou National Forest Park and the Huma River, which have bred rich wildlife resources. The unique geographic location and ecological advantages make Xinlin an important barrier guarding the ecological security of China's northern border, and an excellent destination for experiencing the flavor of the Northeast's forests and snowfields.
