Located in the southern part of China's Guizhou Province, Pintang County, part of the Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, is famous for its karst landscape and natural wonders. The area is home to the FAST Eye in the Sky (500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope), the world's largest single aperture radio telescope, which promotes astronomical research and science tourism. Pintang also boasts natural attractions such as the Zhaobu Scenic Area and the Kacha Waterfalls, and integrates the cultures of the Buyi, Miao and other ethnic minorities. The economy is based on agriculture, tourism and new energy industries, and the climate is pleasant with an average annual temperature of 16°C, making it suitable for eco-travel. The transportation relies on highways and is about 200 kilometers from Guiyang, which is gradually becoming a distinctive tourist destination in southwestern Guizhou.
Rogatica is a town in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), part of the entity of Republika Srpska, located in the Drina River valley about 60 kilometers east of Sarajevo. The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level, and has a temperate continental climate with cold and snowy winters and mild, wet summers.
Rogatica has a long history, first documented in the 14th century, and developed as a trading hub during the Ottoman period. The city retains its 16th-century Ottoman bridges, mosques and traditional stone buildings, and is characterized by a combination of Balkan and Eastern cultures. The city was severely damaged during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), but was gradually rebuilt after the war, and today the mainstay of the economy is forestry, animal husbandry and small-scale industry.
Rogatica is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty and is close to the Sutjeska National Park (one of the last virgin forests in Europe) and the famous Drina River Gorge. Visitors can explore war memorial sites, hike mountain trails, or experience the folk culture of traditional villages. The town has a population of about 11,000 (2013 data) and is connected to Sarajevo's border with Serbia by the M5 highway, making it an important stopover for exploring the nature and history of eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
