Pingwu County is located in the northwest of Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, in the transition zone from the Northwest Sichuan Plateau to the Sichuan Basin, and is an important ecological barrier on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. With Wanglang National Nature Reserve and vast panda habitats, Pingwu County is known as one of the "hometowns of pandas". The mountains in the area are stacked up and the Fuling River flows through the area, giving rise to rich natural landscapes such as alpine valleys and primitive forests, especially the Baima Tibetan culture as the core of the humanities, whose unique costumes, songs and dances, and customs attract many tourists. In addition, Pingwu is also the location of the Ming Dynasty's "Deep Mountain Palace", the Repayment Temple, a well-preserved royal temple complex that demonstrates exquisite ancient craftsmanship and is an important object for the study of Ming Dynasty architecture and Buddhist culture. As a place where ecology and culture meet, Pingwu combines natural wildness and humanistic charm, making it an excellent destination for exploring the secret places of Northwest Sichuan.
Located in the south-central part of Changhua County, Taiwan, and bordered by the Taiwan Strait to the west, Puyan, formerly known as "Puyan Township", is famous for its traditional salt culture and has been called the "Salt Township". In the early days, due to the vast coastal mudflats, the salt industry was well developed here, and some of the remains of the salt fields are still preserved today, making it a window into the history of Taiwan's salt industry. The terrain is flat, and agriculture is based on growing rice, melons and fruits, with the sweet and juicy "Puyan Melon" as a specialty, which is quite famous. With convenient transportation and the proximity of Changhua City, the pace of life is leisurely, retaining a strong southern Fujian flavor and rural atmosphere. The local temple culture is flourishing, with the Fu'an Palace in Puyan as the center of faith, attracting many believers to participate in the annual temple fair. In recent years, Poyan has developed tourism by combining the salt industry culture, and has become a low-key town in southern Changhua with both historical heritage and idyllic atmosphere.
