Yongqing County is located in the central part of Langfang City, Hebei Province, China, in the core region of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, about 60 kilometers away from both Beijing and Tianjin, and is an important node city on the Beijing-Tianjin corridor. With a total area of about 776 square kilometers and a population of about 400,000, the county has a temperate monsoon climate with four distinct seasons.
Yongqing's economy is based on agriculture, producing vegetables, fruits and forests, known as the "Beijing-Tianjin food basket"; rapid industrial development, focusing on high-end manufacturing, modern logistics and new energy industries. The area has historical and cultural heritages such as the Songliao Ancient Battle Road and Yongqing Nuclear Sculpture, as well as several ecological parks and hot springs resorts, with outstanding tourism potential.
As a beneficiary of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Cooperative Development Strategy, Yongqing is actively undertaking the relocation of non-capital functions. With convenient transportation (Beijing-Taiwan Expressway and Langcang Expressway), Yongqing is positioned to be a green, eco-friendly and livable city as well as a carrier of regional industries in the future.
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.
