Torit is the capital of Eastern Equatoria State and is located in the southeastern part of South Sudan, adjacent to the borders of Kenya and Uganda. The city is situated on a hilly terrain and has a savannah climate, with the year divided into rainy and dry seasons.
Torit has an important historical place in the independence process of South Sudan and was one of the early strongholds of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM). The population is dominated by indigenous groups such as the Lotukos, most of whom practice Christianity or traditional religions, and the official languages are Juba Arabic and English.
The economy is based on subsistence agriculture and livestock farming, with sorghum, maize and cassava as the main crops. The city's infrastructure is rudimentary, lacking a steady supply of electricity and asphalt roads, and transportation relies on dirt roads to connect to surrounding areas.
Although Torit is surrounded by natural attractions such as Mount Imatong, tourism has not yet developed due to the security situation and infrastructure constraints. The city currently faces humanitarian challenges, but remains an important window into South Sudanese village life and culture.
Long'an, Henan Province, China, or Long'an District, Anyang City, is located in the northernmost part of Henan Province, at the junction of Jin, Hebei and Henan provinces, and is one of the municipal districts of Anyang City, which is located in the core of the Central Plains Economic Zone. It has a long history and deep cultural heritage, neighboring the world cultural heritage site of Yinxu, and the discovery of Cao Cao's High Tomb (Xigao Cave Tomb) within the district has provided important physical information for the study of Han and Wei history. As an important plate in the south of Anyang, Longan District has formed an industrial system dominated by iron and steel, equipment manufacturing and new materials, and at the same time, relying on the superior location advantages, it actively develops modern agriculture and modern service industry. The natural and humanistic landscapes in the district reflect each other, both the beautiful scenery of the Taihang Mountains and the historical relics carrying the memory of thousands of years, which is an emerging urban area in the Central Plains with both industrial vitality and cultural charm.
