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 south-central part of Mongolia, Tolgoi is a small town under the jurisdiction of Töv Province, located in the hinterland of the Mongolian Plateau about 200 kilometers away from the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. The traditional nomadic culture is the core of this area, and animal husbandry is the mainstay of the economy, with most of the inhabitants engaged in cattle and sheep breeding and processing of livestock products. The grassland around Tolgoi is vast, with abundant water and grass in summer, which is a typical nomadic living area, while the winter is cold and dry. The local community has retained traditional Mongolian customs, such as the annual "Naadam" conference, including horse racing, wrestling and other folk activities, attracting the participation of neighboring herdsmen. As a node connecting the pasture area with the town, there is a small market in the town where livestock products and handicrafts are traded. Though small in scale, it shows the unique charm of the Mongolian nomadic culture, and is an ideal place for experiencing the life on the grassland.
