Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan. The town is famous for its eponymous alpine lake, Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Eurasia, at an altitude of about 1,900 meters above sea level, which is known as the "Pearl of Armenia".
Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
With a population of around 20,000, the town of Sevan retains its traditional Armenian culture, while the infrastructure is constantly being improved to provide accommodation and catering services. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
Fugu County is located in the northernmost part of Shaanxi Province, at the junction of Jin, Shaanxi and Mongolia, where the Yellow River meets the Great Wall, and is the northern gateway to Shaanxi, known as the "Three Provinces of the Rooster". The topography of the county is dominated by the Loess Plateau, rich in mineral resources, especially coal reserves, known as "China's coal capital". Relying on energy advantages, the county has formed an industrial system dominated by coal, electric power and chemical industry, and has been actively promoting green transformation in recent years. Historically, Fugu was a major border town, with existing monuments such as Fushu Ancient City and Ming Great Wall Ruins, and a unique folk culture, with non-legacy programs such as Errendai and Yangge inherited to this day. As an important node of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, Fugu is integrating energy economy and ecological culture to create a new model of coordinated regional development.
