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.

Taijiang, Fujian, China, a district of Fuzhou, Fujian Province, is located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, and is the core part of the central part of Fuzhou, which is known as the "millennium commercial port". Historically, as an important window for Fuzhou's foreign trade, Taijiang brought together merchant gangs from all over the world, leaving behind historical and cultural districts such as Shangshanghang, where the remains of Ming and Qing dynasties' ancient houses and guild halls exist, carrying the deep heritage of the culture of Min Du. Nowadays, Taijiang integrates tradition and modernity, and is not only the gathering place of Fuzhou's commerce and financial service industry, but also an important node of the landscape belt along the Min River, which has the fireworks of the old city and new vitality of the metropolis, and demonstrates the unique urban charm of Fuzhou's "mountains, water, river and sea" integration.
