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.
Trashigang Dzongkhag is a dzongkhag in eastern Bhutan, with its capital in the town of Trashigang, known as the "breadbasket of Bhutan". Located on the eastern edge of Bhutan, near the Indian state of Assam, the dzongkhag is known for its magnificent mountainous landscape and well-preserved traditional culture. The most famous landmark in the Dzong is the Trashigang Dzong, a majestic fortress perched on a mountain ridge, one of the largest dzongs in Bhutan, which serves both religious and administrative functions and attracts many pilgrims and tourists every year. The local population relies heavily on agriculture and handicrafts for their livelihood, specializing in weaving and traditional paper making. Chirang Dzong preserves the traditional Bhutanese way of life, with terraced rice paddies cascading through the valleys and high forest cover, making it an ideal place to experience Bhutan's original culture and an important gateway for exploring the remote regions of the east.
