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.

Zhenglan Banner is located in the central part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the southern part of Xilingol League, which is famous as the hometown of "Yuan Shangdu", and also the location of the World Heritage Site of Yuan Shangdu. Located at the southern edge of the Hunsandak Sandy Land, with vast grasslands, dense forests and clear lakes, rich in ecological diversity, it is a typical Mongolian settlement, preserving the pure nomadic culture of the grasslands. Every summer, when the grass and water are abundant, the herdsmen will organize the traditional "Naadam" conference, wrestling, horse racing, archery and other folk activities, attracting many tourists to experience. As one of the birthplaces of the Mongol Yuan culture, Zhenglanqi not only carries a profound historical heritage, but also becomes a bright pearl on the Inner Mongolian grassland with its magnificent natural scenery and unique ethnic customs.
