Situated in the northwestern coastal area of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province of China, and bordered by the Taiwan Strait to the west, Mida District has a total area of 14.7772 square kilometers and a population of about 19,000 people. It was formerly known as "Maituo Harbor", so named because the land resembles the earlobe of "Maituo Buddha". The region's main industries are fisheries and agriculture, with a rich culture of lice breeding, and the annual "Lice Culture Festival" is an important local tourist event.
Mituo has a long coastline and the ecologically rich Luo Di Shan Natural Park, of which the Mituo Coastal Recreation Area is famous for its "Coastal Light Corridor" landscape. In terms of humanities, traditional fishing techniques and straw mat weaving have been preserved, and the Nanliao Fishing Harbor provides fresh seafood every day. The area is connected to downtown Kaohsiung via the Taiwan 17th and 28th lines, and is a coastal area that combines ecology, culture, and fishing village characteristics.
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.
