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. Nowadays, Ziliujing District integrates salt culture, dinosaur culture and folk culture, becoming a cultural tourism destination integrating history exploration, science popularization study and folk experience, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore the unique charm of "Salt Dragon Lantern".
Pingxi District, located in the northeastern part of New Taipei City, Taiwan Province of China, is a Hakka town surrounded by mountains and streams, and is famous for the romantic custom of "releasing sky lanterns in Pingxi". Once a coal-mining town, the town has lost its industrial color and now attracts tourists from all directions with its rustic rural scenery and deep cultural heritage. When night falls, a sky lantern filled with wishes slowly rises into the sky, intertwining starlight and lights, making Pingxi the most representative picture. In addition, the magnificence of the Ten Percent Waterfall, the nostalgic flavor of Jingtong Old Street, and the adorable atmosphere of Monkey Refuge Cat Village all make this land fun to explore. Pingxi is not only the hometown of sky lanterns, but also a poetic place where people can slow down and feel the quietness of the years.
