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.
Donglan County, belonging to Hechi City of Guangxi, is located in the hinterland of northwest Guangxi, with the Hongshui River running through it, and is famous as the "hometown of generals" and the old revolutionary area. The peasant movement led by Wei Baiqun has been flourishing here, and Deng Xiaoping, Zhang Yunyi and other revolutionaries of the old generation have fought here, so the red culture is profound. The karst landforms in the area are very beautiful, known as "Natural Oxygen Bar", and the stalactites in the caves such as Xian/Dong/Yan/Ram are of various shapes and sizes, and the scenery along the Hongshui River is exquisite. The Zhuang culture is rich, with the art of copper drums and the custom of singing pike inherited for thousands of years, and specialties such as Donglan ink rice wine and chestnut aroma are unique. Nowadays, Donglan relies on red resources and ecological advantages to develop red tourism and eco-agriculture, which is a charming place to feel the humanities and nature of northwest Gui.
