Pingle County is located in the northeastern part of China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, under Guilin City, at the confluence of three rivers, the Li River, the Tea River and the Li River, and is known as the "Pearl of the Gui River". The area has a long history, having been founded in the Three Kingdoms period, and is rich in cultural heritage and natural landscapes, such as the Millennium Ancient Town, the Rongjin Ancient Banyan Cluster and the Xianjia Hot Springs. Pingle is predominantly agricultural, producing specialties such as moon persimmons and Shatian pomelo, while actively developing tourism and ecological economy. Its convenient transportation connects Guilin and neighboring cities, making it an ideal destination for experiencing Guangxi's landscape culture and countryside.
Amuria is the regional capital of Eastern Uganda, part of the Eastern Region, and is located in the interior of Uganda on the border with Kenya, with a predominantly savannah climate and distinct wet and dry seasons. As the administrative and economic center of the region, Amuria has a population of about 200,000 (estimated in 2023), with a predominantly Iteso population. Agriculture is the mainstay of the industry, producing cotton, millet, cassava and groundnuts, and animal husbandry is relatively well-developed, with extensive cattle and goat farming. Although infrastructure is still being developed, Amuria is emerging as a core area for agricultural trade and services in Eastern Uganda by virtue of its position as a transportation hub connecting to the surrounding region, and the local culture, which retains its traditional tribal dances and handicrafts, attracts tourists interested in the rural culture of East Africa.
