Located in the southern part of China's Shanxi Province and part of Yuncheng City, Yuanqu County is situated at the junction of Jin, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, with a total area of about 1,620 square kilometers. It has a long history and is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, with a rich cultural heritage, such as Neolithic ruins and ancient architecture. With a predominantly agricultural industry that produces wheat, corn and apples, Yuanqu's economy is gradually transforming into ecotourism and mineral resources development.
With beautiful natural scenery, Yuanqu boasts the remnants of the Taihang Mountains and tributaries of the Yellow River, and attractions include the Alexandria Nature Reserve, ancient city ruins and folk culture villages. The locality focuses on ecological protection and the development of rural tourism, attracting tourists to experience simple rural life and history and culture.

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.
