Svalbard and Jan Mayen are two overseas territories of the Kingdom of Norway, located in the Arctic region where the Arctic Ocean meets the North Atlantic Ocean. Svalbard is situated between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole, with the main island, the city of Longyearbyen in Spitsbergen, as the main settlement, with scientific facilities such as the Global Seed Vault, which is special due to the fact that the Treaty of Svalbard allows for equal economic activities for citizens of many countries, and Jan Mayen, a volcanic island with a Norwegian meteorological station in the Greenland Sea, which is not permanently inhabited. Both have polar climates, dominated by tundra landscapes, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers, making them important areas for Arctic scientific research and ecological monitoring, as well as destinations for adventure tourism.
Mawei District is located in the southeast of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, on the south bank of the Minjiang River, and is an important harbor district of Fuzhou and an open window to the outside world. It is famous for "Mawei Harbor", which has been an important node of the Maritime Silk Road since the Song Dynasty, and has become the cradle of China's modern navy, industry and education due to the "Mawei Shipbuilding" in modern times, which carries a profound cultural heritage of shipbuilding. Nowadays, Mawei, relying on the advantages of deep-water harbor, vigorously develops port industry, modern logistics and marine economy, and at the same time, integrates into the construction of Fuzhou Area of Fujian Pilot Free Trade Zone to promote scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading. The natural landscape and humanistic relics in the area are intertwined, and the Luoxing Pagoda and the Shipbuilding Culture Ruins Group have witnessed its transformation from an ancient merchant port to a modernized new city, making it a coastal urban area that is both historically significant and energetic.
