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.
Located in the southwestern part of Guizhou Province and belonging to the Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Qiuxinan, Ceheng County is situated in the combined part of Yunnan-Guizhou-Guizhou provinces, and is one of the important birthplaces of Buyei culture, which is regarded as "the first county of Buyei in China". The Beipanjiang River passes through here, and the karst landforms and subtropical climate blend together to form a natural picture of "beautiful mountains and beautiful water, ecological livability". The population of Buyei people accounts for more than 70% of the territory, and traditional customs such as "March 3" and "Valley Flower Festival" have been inherited for thousands of years, and the non-heritage culture such as Buyei folk songs, eight-note singing, embroidery and batik is unique and charming. Relying on the ecological advantages, Xueheng vigorously develops oil tea, forest economy and other characteristic industries. Ten thousand acres of oil tea forests along the Beipanjiang River and the ancient fortress of Ban Chen have become popular destinations for eco-tourism and ethnic culture experience, which is a perfect place to experience the original Buyei style and Guizhou mountain scenery.
