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.
The Great Wall of Gansu, which stretches across the Hexi Corridor, was a military barrier and transportation throat for the ancient Central Plains Dynasty to explore the Western Regions, and is mainly composed of the remains of the Great Wall of the Han and Ming Dynasties. The Great Wall of the Han Dynasty was built mainly of rammed earth, with Yumen Pass, Yang Pass and other passes along the route, witnessing the prosperity of the Silk Road; the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was built mostly of masonry, with Jiayuguan Pass, the "most powerful pass in the world," as the core node, with well-preserved citadels, piers and beacon flints. As an important part of the Great Wall of China, the Great Wall of Gansu not only embodies the wisdom of the ancient military defense system, but also carries the historical memory of the intermingling of civilizations between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, which was included in the World Cultural Heritage List in 1987, and has become an important physical testimony for the study of ancient border culture and the history of the Silk Road.
