Pinggu District is located in the northeastern part of Beijing, at the junction of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei provinces and cities, and is the capital's "Gateway to the East of Beijing". As a nationally renowned Chinese peach township, Pinggu is famous for its many varieties of peaches of excellent quality, with an annual output of more than 100 million kilograms, which is a shining business card of regional agriculture. The area is rich in ecological resources, with 67% forest coverage and natural landscapes such as Jinhai Lake and Jingdong Grand Canyon, making it an ideal place for leisure and vacation. Pinggu has a long history and deep cultural heritage, and the Neolithic site of Shangzhai witnessed the prosperity of early civilization. In recent years, Pinggu has been actively creating a development pattern of "high-tech agriculture, high ecological value, and high-quality culture and tourism", and is not only an important ecological conservation area for the capital, but also a unique and charming tourist destination in the suburbs of Beijing.
Hoima, the capital of the Western Region of Uganda, is located in the west-central part of the country, about 225 kilometers from the capital, Kampala, and is the administrative, economic and transportation center of the west. The city is situated on the south-eastern shore of Lake Albert and is characterized by a savannah climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, which makes it suitable for agricultural development. The local economy is based on agriculture, producing coffee, cotton, corn and other crops, and in recent years has been attracting attention due to the exploration and development of petroleum resources. With a population of about 340,000 (2023 estimate), most of the inhabitants are from the Banyoro ethnic group and have a deep cultural heritage. As an important node connecting western Uganda with neighboring South Sudan, Hoyma has an improving road network and is transforming from a traditional agricultural town into a modern regional center.
