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.
Nerong County, belonging to the city of Nagchu in Tibet, is located in the hinterland of the Qiangtang Plateau in the north of Tibet, with an average altitude of more than 4,600 meters, which is a typical alpine pastoral area with snowy mountains and grasslands, with green grass in the summer and silver clothes in the winter, which makes the natural scenery primitive and magnificent. As a pure pastoral county, Nerong retains a strong Tibetan nomadic culture, herdsmen grazing yaks, sheep for a living, inherited the traditional folklore of horse racing, potlatch and so on. It is also a paradise for wild animals, with rare species such as Tibetan antelope, wild asses and brown bears frequenting the area. Although Nerong is located in a remote area, it has become a unique window for exploring the secret land of northern Tibet due to its pure nature and simple humanities, attracting travelers who aspire to the scenery of the plateau.
