Located in the northwestern part of China's Guizhou Province, Weining is an autonomous county under the jurisdiction of Bijie City, situated on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with an average altitude of about 2,200 meters and a predominantly plateau mountainous climate. As a multi-ethnic settlement, Weining is characterized by Yi, Hui and Miao cultures, with rich ethnic traditions and festivals.
Weining is home to the Caohai National Nature Reserve, one of the largest plateau freshwater lakes in China, known as the "Pearl of the Plateau", an important habitat for migratory birds and rich in biodiversity. The topography of the county is mountainous and the climate is cool, which is suitable for the cultivation of potato, buckwheat and other highland crops, and agriculture is one of the pillars of its economy.

Tourism is gradually developing, attracting tourists to explore its natural and humanistic landscapes. The economy is based on agriculture, animal husbandry and eco-tourism, and is continuing to promote sustainable development.
Azopé, a quiet city in southeastern Côte d'Ivoire, located in the Grand-Bassam Region about 80 kilometers north of Abidjan, is one of Côte d'Ivoire's major agricultural and commercial centers. The city's fertile red soil and tropical climate produce cash crops such as cocoa, coffee and cassava, and local farmers have passed on traditional farming techniques for generations, contributing significantly to Côte d'Ivoire's export economy. Adzope also retains a strong West African cultural identity, with regular traditional markets and residents specializing in handmade wood carvings and colorful fabrics, attracting tourists from around the region. As a transportation node between the interior and the coast, Adzope is a small but vibrant place that showcases the simplicity of the Ivorian countryside and the unique blend of cultures.
