Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
Anlang is a town in Battambang Province in northwestern Cambodia, located near the Thai border, about 80 kilometers from the provincial capital, Battambang. The area is predominantly agricultural, producing crops such as rice and corn, and has a relatively traditional economy. Anlang is remote and has a relatively basic infrastructure, but has a unique border culture and peaceful rural landscape.
An Lian is located in the plains, near the Sang Ky River, and has a tropical monsoon climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons. The population is predominantly Khmer, with a simple lifestyle and a small community, mostly engaged in farming or small-scale trading.
Traditional Khmer customs are maintained and a Buddhist temple is the center of the community. Transportation is mainly by road, which connects Battambang to the Thai border, but the roads are relatively simple. There are fewer tourists, so it is a good place to explore the Cambodian countryside in its original form.
