Ziliujing District, located in the south of Sichuan Province, is a municipal district of Zigong City, named after the ancient salt wells that flowed from the city, and is known as the core area of the "Millennium Salt Capital". As the birthplace of Zigong's salt industry, Ziliujing District retains the former site of salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty, and the site of the Tianche (derrick) and other industrial cultural heritages, which have witnessed the glorious history of well salt mining in the BaShu region. The Zigong Dinosaur Museum in the district is one of the world's three major dinosaur site museums, treasuring a large number of complete dinosaur fossils, while the Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival is a national intangible cultural heritage, known at home and abroad for its grand scale and exquisite craftsmanship.

Mapulaca is a small, quiet town in the Valle department of western Honduras, about 120 kilometers southwest of the capital city of Tegucigalpa, in the transition zone between the volcanic belt of Central America and the lowlands of the Pacific coast. Surrounded by fertile arable land, this small, agriculturally based town is home to residents who grow corn, beans, and sugarcane, where the traditional farming culture lives on. Despite its small size, Maplaca is becoming a hidden destination for backpackers looking to explore the Honduran countryside, thanks to its simple people and untouched, untouched landscape. The surrounding savanna and scattered hilly landscapes provide natural delights for bird watching and hiking, and are one of the windows to experience Honduras' native culture.
