Yirol, the capital of Lakes State in South Sudan, is located in the center of the country, about 200 kilometers south of Juba, in the White Nile River basin on the edge of the Sudd Swamp. As the core city of the Lakes State, Yirol is the administrative, commercial and transportation center of the region, and the surrounding area is dominated by agriculture and livestock, producing crops such as sorghum and maize, as well as rich fishery resources. The inhabitants are mostly Dinka and other ethnic groups, with a strong traditional tribal culture. Although the infrastructure is still under development, Irole, by virtue of its location, is an important node connecting the central and western parts of South Sudan, and one of the gateways for exploring South Sudan's natural and human landscapes.
Located in west-central Burkina Faso, Da Village is one of the typical traditional villages in sub-Saharan Africa, belonging to the region of Boucle du Mouhoun. With a predominantly savannah climate, the inhabitants are mostly farmers, cultivating millet, maize and peanuts and leading a self-sufficient life. The village retains its traditional dome-domed mud huts and communal council chambers, and has a strong Mossi culture, with regular traditional dances and rituals, showcasing West Africa's original cultural charm. Though small, Da Village unites the simplicity and resilience of rural Burkina Faso, and is a window into local folklore and an excellent place to explore the traditional way of life in West Africa.
