Ruoqiang County, belonging to Bayin'guoleng Mongol Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, is the largest county in China with an area of about 202,300 square kilometers, bordered by Gansu and Qinghai in the east and Tibet in the south, and located in the southeast edge of the Tarim Basin, surrounded by the Arjinshan Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and Lop Nur. As the key point of the southern route of the ancient Silk Road, it has nurtured world-class cultural heritages such as the ancient city of Loulan and the ruins of Milan, and was once a hub for the fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations. Nowadays, Ruoqiang is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Red Jujubes", and the quality of its gray and red jujubes is renowned throughout the country. At the same time, Ruoqiang has become an important county for economic development in Xinjiang, relying on its rich mineral and light and heat resources. With its unique desert, Gobi and lake landscapes, as well as the mysterious history of the Silk Road, Ruoqiang is both an ecological barrier and a cultural treasure trove.
Located in the Marrakech-Safi region of southern Morocco, at the foot of the majestic Atlas Mountains, Ait Bahya is one of the traditional Berber villages. It is famous for its well-preserved adobe complexes, unique kasbahs (fortress-like dwellings) and winding stone alleyways, which perfectly demonstrate the wisdom of the Berbers to live in harmony with nature. The village is surrounded by terraced fields planted with olives, apricots and other crops, and the scenery varies throughout the seasons, making it an ideal place to experience Moroccan countryside life. Although not as well known as the neighboring ancient town of Ait Benhaddou, Ait Baha retains a more primitive atmosphere of life, where visitors can taste the traditional Berber cuisine, listen to ancient songs, and feel the deep heritage of North African culture.
