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.
Jiejiang County is located in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, China, on the southwestern edge of the Chengdu Plain, known as the "Western Porcelain Capital" and the thousand-year-old paper town. It covers an area of 748 square kilometers and has a population of about 350,000 people. Jiejiang is the site of the World Heritage "Dongfengyan", an ancient water conservancy project built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, which is the irrigation treasure of the Sichuan Basin. The economy is dominated by the ceramic industry, which produces a significant share of the country's tiles annually, while retaining the traditional skill of bamboo paper making. The transportation is convenient, with the Chengle Expressway and Chenggui High Speed Railway running through the whole area, and only 120 kilometers away from Chengdu. With a blend of industry, agriculture and history and culture, Jiejiang is an important county in southern Sichuan.
Jiejiang County is rich in natural resources, with the Danxia landforms of the Emei Mountain remnants and the ecology of the Qingyi River basin. Cultural tourism highlights include the Thousand Buddha Rock Cliff Statue, Dongfengyan Scenic Area and Tianfu Tourist Tea Garden. Local specialties such as Jiejiang tofu milk, calligraphy and painting paper, and vine peppers are renowned nationwide. As a node city of Sichuan-Chongqing Economic Circle, Jiejiang is actively developing green building materials and rural tourism, and creating a "porcelain-tea-paper" cultural card, which attracts many investors and tourists to explore.
