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.
China Shigu is not a country or city, but refers to the Shigu District in Hengyang City, Hunan Province, and the location of the famous Shigu Academy. Shigu District is named after the Shigu Mountain at the confluence of the Xiangjiang River and the Steam Water, and has been a cultural mecca since ancient times. Shigu Academy is one of the four major ancient Chinese academies, founded in the Tang Dynasty, where Zhu Xi, a Song Dynasty scholar of science, once lectured, and is known as the "birthplace of Hunan culture".
The area is known for its deep historical heritage and natural beauty, surrounded by the Xiangjiang River and mountains, which is the iconic landscape of Hengyang. The modern Shigu District integrates education, tourism and urban development, preserving ancient buildings while building parks and cultural facilities to attract visitors to explore traditional Chinese culture and Hunan characteristics.
