Wangdue Phodrang is the capital of Zadong Dzong in western Bhutan. This ancient city, about 2,000 meters above sea level, was once the old capital of the kingdom and still retains a strong traditional flavor. It is nestled among the valleys of the eastern Himalayas, surrounded by verdant forests and majestic snow-capped mountains, offering fresh air and picturesque views. As an important cultural and administrative center of Bhutan, it is home to many historical monuments, such as the Wangdi Choling Palace, which was built in 1638, and the Zhasichho Dzong Monastery, which blends architectural and natural beauty. As you walk through the city, you will find traditional Bhutanese houses and stupas, and people dressed in traditional costumes walking around in peace and harmony. This is not only a window to Bhutan's history and culture, but also an ideal place to experience the slow life in the "Land of Happiness".
Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, is located on the country's central plateau at an altitude of about 2,350 meters and has a pleasant climate that has been described as the "Italy of Africa". The city is a blend of Italian colonial architecture and local culture, with a large number of well-preserved modernist buildings, including futuristic churches, Art Deco theaters, and colorful homes. An example of early 20th century urban planning, its historic center was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. Asmara is not only a political and economic hub, but is also known for its unique cultural scene and laid-back pace of life, and is a window to explore Eritrea's history and diverse civilizations.
