Located in the northern part of China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yizhou belongs to the city of Hechi and is one of the important birthplaces of the Zhuang culture. The city is known for its beautiful natural scenery and rich historical and cultural heritage, with typical karst landscapes and clear rivers. Yizhou is the hometown of Liu Sanjie, the singing fairy of the Zhuang ethnic group, and attracts many tourists every year to experience the unique ethnic songs and dances as well as traditional festivals.
The economy is based on agriculture and tourism, with an abundance of silkworms, sugarcane and fruits. The local transportation is convenient, connecting to major cities in Guangxi by road and rail. With a soothing pace of life that lends itself to exploring both natural and humanistic landscapes, Yizhou is a hidden gem in northwestern Guangxi.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
