Laponian Area
The Arctic Circle region in northern Sweden is home to the Sami people. This is the world's largest (and last) region where people live an ancestral way of life based on the seasonal migration of livestock. Every summer, the Sami lead their huge reindeer herds through this still well-preserved natural landscape to the mountains, but now threatened by motor vehicles. History and ongoing geological processes can be seen in the moraines and changing waterways.
Wanning Bridge
Wanning Bridge is located in the middle of Di'anmenwai Street and the east bank of Shichahai Lake, crossing the Yuhe River. Its position has not changed since the Yuan Dynasty. Wanning Bridge is a single-arch stone bridge, consisting of a bridge body, swallow wings, water-controlling beasts, and Chengqing Upper Gate. There are 16 balusters on each side of the bridge deck, 1.6 meters high. The lower part of the baluster is a square stone column, and the upper part is a pomegranate-shaped capital. There are stone railings between the balusters. The river bank is a stone embankment, and there is a water-controlling beast on the embankment, which is the nine sons of the dragon, lying on the water level. Since its construction in the Yuan Dynasty, Wanning Bridge has always assumed the important function of north-south transportation. It is the intersection of Beijing's central axis and the Yuhe section of the Grand Canal. It is an important gateway for the Yuhe River system to enter Shichahai Lake, and it is also an important bridge connecting the city's north-south transportation. During the Yuan Dynasty (1264-1294), Wanning Bridge was built on the east bank of Jishuitan (now Shichahai Lake). It was originally made of wood, but later it was changed to stone. A clarification gate was set up on the west side of the bridge to adjust the water level for ships to pass. In 1924, the longitudinal slope of the Wanning Bridge deck was lowered. In 1952, the main body of Wanning Bridge was buried underground. In 2000, the bridge body and stone revetment of Wanning Bridge were repaired in conjunction with the archaeological excavation of Yuhe River, the restoration of the bank protection and the dredging of the river. To this day, Wanning Bridge is still an important north-south traffic artery on the central axis of Beijing.
Yehulingkou
Yehulingkou is an important pass of the Great Wall of Xuanfu Town West Road in the Ming Dynasty. It was also the main road to the outside of the Great Wall during the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Yehulingkou is more than 1,600 meters above sea level. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the majestic Ming Great Wall soaring westward to the top of the mountains at the junction of Zhangbei and Wanquan, winding southeastward among the steep mountains leading to Zhangjiakou Dajingmen; to the northeast, you can see the remains of the Qin Great Wall hovering over the deep ravines and cliffs, which is spectacular. Yehuling is the throat of the traffic leading to the outside of the Great Wall. With the danger of Yehuling, it can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. It has been a military fortress and a place of contention for military strategists since ancient times. For this reason, a poet wrote: "Yehu is a famous place in ancient and modern times, with dangerous roads and high mountains on the edge of Yunhan. Don't be surprised that the military strategists fight for this place, and drive straight to control Youyan."

After the opening of the Beijing-Qinhuangdao intercity railway, it takes 40 minutes to drive from Beijing to the International Tourism Island. The transportation is well-connected and the location advantage is obvious. The islands of Tangshan Bay International Tourism Island are formed by the alluvial deposits of the Luanhe River and tidal action, with a long history, various forms and rich resources.
