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.

Nangan, located at the northern mouth of the Taiwan Strait and part of Lianjiang County in Fujian Province, is the political, economic and cultural center of the Matsu Islands. It is famous for its unique granite landforms and the traditional architecture of "stone houses" in eastern Fujian, where stone houses with red tiles and white walls are built against the mountains, contrasting with the blue sea and sky, forming a distinctive Matsu flavor. With a pleasant climate and mild seasons, the area combines subtropical maritime characteristics with the cultural imprint of a war zone, and is home to historical attractions such as Matsu's Tianhou Palace and Preah Vihear settlement, as well as natural landscapes such as Jinsha Beach.
