Pingbian Miao Autonomous County is located in the southeast of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, situated in the frontier of South Yunnan, bordering with Vietnam, and is one of the important portals of Yunnan facing South and Southeast Asia. Within the territory of the mountains, Dawei Mountain National Nature Reserve stretches across the intersection, preserving a complete subtropical monsoon rainforest ecosystem, with waterfalls, caves, rare plants and animals, and other natural wonders, known as the "Emerald of South Yunnan". The climate here is pleasant, with an average annual temperature of about 16℃ and cool summers, making it a summer resort. Pingbian is the only Miao Autonomous County in China, with a profound Miao culture, rich folk customs such as the Flower Mountain Festival and Lusheng Dance, and unique handicrafts such as Miao embroidery and silver jewelry. At the same time, the local area is rich in lychee, star anise, grass fruits and other products, and is rich in eco-tourism resources, making it an ideal place to experience the charm of nature and humanity.
Longonjo is an important city in Huambo Province in west-central Angola, located about 350 kilometers southeast of the capital city of Luanda. Located on the Bié Plateau, at an average altitude of about 1,400 meters above sea level, the city has a mild and humid climate and is an important agricultural and mining center in Angola.
Lungunjo is known for its rich mineral resources, with one of the largest deposits of rare earths in Africa, and particularly outstanding reserves of tantalum, niobium and phosphates. The city's economy has grown rapidly in recent years with the development of the mining industry. Agriculture is characterized by the cultivation of coffee, maize and beans, as well as animal husbandry.
The city is connected to Huambo via the EN250 highway, and the railroad system connects to the main Benguela railroad line, which provides access to Atlantic ports. With increased investment in the mining industry, Lungunjo's infrastructure is improving and it is becoming an important growth pole for the Angolan interior.
The local population is predominantly of the Ovindu ethnic group, which retains a traditional farming culture. With the development of strategic resources such as rare earths, Lungunjo has been prioritized by the Angolan government as a key city for development, and is expected to become an important mining and logistics hub in south-central Africa in the future.
