Located in the southeastern part of China's Yunnan Province, Mile City is part of the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture and is a tourist city famous for its hot springs, red wine and ethnic culture. The name of the city is derived from the Buddhist word "Maitreya Buddha", which means good fortune and peace.
Mile is blessed with natural conditions, rich geothermal resources and several natural hot spring resorts. As the main production area of grapes on the Yunnan Plateau, there are Dongfengyun Wine Estate and several wineries here, which are known as "Oriental Bordeaux". The city is a blend of Han, Yi, Miao and other ethnic cultures, and organizes annual torchlight festivals and other ethnic celebrations.
The main attractions include the Huquan Ecological Park, Jinping Mountain Scenic Area (with the 19.99-meter-high Maitreya Buddha), Keyi Yi Village and Taiping Lake Forest Town. The modern art complex "Dongfengyun" has become a Netflix hit with its red brick sculptures. It is about 140 kilometers away from Kunming, with convenient transportation, and is an important node of the Southeast Yunnan Tourism Loop.
Rogatica is a town in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), part of the entity of Republika Srpska, located in the Drina River valley about 60 kilometers east of Sarajevo. The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level, and has a temperate continental climate with cold and snowy winters and mild, wet summers.
Rogatica has a long history, first documented in the 14th century, and developed as a trading hub during the Ottoman period. The city retains its 16th-century Ottoman bridges, mosques and traditional stone buildings, and is characterized by a combination of Balkan and Eastern cultures. The city was severely damaged during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), but was gradually rebuilt after the war, and today the mainstay of the economy is forestry, animal husbandry and small-scale industry.
Rogatica is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty and is close to the Sutjeska National Park (one of the last virgin forests in Europe) and the famous Drina River Gorge. Visitors can explore war memorial sites, hike mountain trails, or experience the folk culture of traditional villages. The town has a population of about 11,000 (2013 data) and is connected to Sarajevo's border with Serbia by the M5 highway, making it an important stopover for exploring the nature and history of eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
