Located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, on Kaien Island, Prince Rupert is one of the deepest natural harbors in North America and an important shipping hub connecting Asia and North America. This small city of about 12,000 people is characterized by a mix of Aboriginal culture and diverse communities, surrounded by temperate rainforests, glacial fjords, and rich ecotourism resources, such as the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary and Smugglers Cove. The economy is centered on forestry, fishing and port logistics, with the western terminus of the Canadian National Railway (CN) at the port, allowing goods to be shipped quickly around the world. As the "Gateway to the Pacific," the Port of Prince Rupert combines industrial vitality with natural wilderness, making it an ideal destination for experiencing the pristine and seafaring history of Canada's west coast.
Dunhua, located in the western part of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province, is an eco-tourism city in the hinterland of the Changbai Mountains, and is known as the "Ancient Capital of a Thousand Years and a Hundred Years County". It was once the capital city of the Bohai Kingdom (698-926), and the existing Bohai Kingdom ruins bear witness to the splendor of ancient civilization in Northeast Asia. As a hub of tourism in Northeast Asia, Dunhua is located in the Liuding Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone, with the world's largest nunnery, Zhengjue Temple, and the world's tallest bronze statue of Sakyamuni. With 78% forest coverage and the Mudan River running through the city, Dunhua is a natural "oxygen bar" and a town of green food with rich animal and plant resources. Relying on the historical heritage and ecological advantages, Dunhua has integrated folk culture, red tourism and recreation industry, and has become a unique and charming livable and touristic city in the eastern part of Jilin.
