Xushui District is located in Baoding, Hebei Province, China, an important constituent area of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Located in the North China Plain, it has a total area of 723 square kilometers and a population of about 600,000 people. As an ancient county with a long history, Xushui has been established for more than 2,000 years since the Western Han Dynasty, and has a rich cultural heritage such as the Qing Dynasty Palace and ancient battlefield sites.
The region's economy is dominated by manufacturing and agriculture, and part of the production base of the famous Great Wall Motor is located here. Xushui has convenient transportation, with the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway passing through, and is only 30 kilometers away from the Xiong'an New Area, which gives it a significant location advantage. The local specialty "Xushui Donkey Meat" is famous throughout the country, and folk activities such as lion dances are also very distinctive.
In recent years, Xushui has been actively integrated into the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, and has continued to promote urbanization and ecological construction, becoming a modern urban area with development potential in the economic circle around the capital.
Bor, the capital of South Sudan's Central Equatoria State, is located in the south-central part of the country along the White Nile River and is an important hub of South Sudan's history and culture. As a traditional Dinka settlement, Bor played a key role in Sudan's Second War of Independence and the founding of the South Sudanese state, and is known as the "Cradle of the South Sudanese Revolution". The city is surrounded by fertile agricultural land, with animal husbandry and crop farming (e.g. maize, sorghum) as the mainstay of the economy, and the White Nile River facilitating local fishing and trade. Despite a long history of conflict, Bor remains an important administrative and commercial center for South Sudan, and in recent years has shown resilience as it has gradually rehabilitated its infrastructure and attracted populations from surrounding areas.
