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.
Liangzhou, now the main city of Wuwei, Gansu Province, the ancient name of "Yongzhou" "Guzang", is an important node city on the ancient Silk Road, known as the "capital of the West" reputation. As the frontier of the central dynasty's strategy for the western region, Liangzhou was the center of the cultural, commercial and religious intersection between the east and the west, and witnessed the prosperous scene of "100,000 families in seven miles of Liangzhou". It has nurtured the splendid culture of Heshi, and the monuments such as Hatamaroshi Temple and Leitai Han Tomb (the land of the Horse Treading Swallows) carry heavy historical memories, while the multi-ethnic mingling of folk customs and unique culinary culture add to the charm. Nowadays, Liangzhou still attracts the world's attention with its deep historical heritage and unique Silk Road culture.
