Šimnas (Širvintos) is a city in eastern Lithuania, about 50 km northwest of the capital Vilnius, and belongs to the administrative center of the Šimnas District. The city is situated on the banks of the river Simna and is surrounded by forests and lakes in a beautiful and peaceful natural environment.
First mentioned in historical documents in 1475, Simnas has a long history of settlement. The city retains traditional Lithuanian architecture, with historical buildings such as the Church of St. Michael the Archangel demonstrating its cultural heritage. Agriculture and forestry are the mainstays of the local economy, while strong folk traditions and handicraft production are maintained.
Several nature reserves and lakes are dotted around Simnas, making it ideal for hiking and nature observation. The city hosts annual traditional festivals where visitors can experience the simplicity of the Lithuanian countryside. Its convenient location (near the A2 highway) also makes it a convenient stopover for exploring central Lithuania.
Huining is located in the central part of Gansu Province in China, under the jurisdiction of Baiyin City, on the western edge of the Loess Plateau, and is the world-famous site of the Red Army's victory in the Long March.In October 1936, the Red Army's First, Second and Fourth Side Armies met here, marking the end of the Long March, and thus it is known as the "Sacred Site of the Rendezvous". In the county, there is the former site of Huining Red Army Rendezvous, including the Rendezvous Building, Rendezvous Memorial Hall and other national cultural relics protection units, which has become an important red cultural education base and patriotism education base. Nowadays, Huining not only inherits the heavy red history, but also develops special agriculture (such as potatoes, small grains) and red tourism, attracting many tourists to trace the footprints of the revolution and feel the spirit of the Long March.
