Located in the west of Guinea-Bissau, on the Atlantic Ocean, Cacheu is one of the country's oldest cities and an important port and economic center in the northwest region. The city has a rich colonial history, having been an important stronghold for Portuguese colonizers since the 15th century, and was a key hub for the West African slave trade, which is still witnessed by historical monuments such as the 17th-century fortress of Cacheu. As a fishing town, the waters around Cacheu are rich in shrimp and fish, and the fishing and related processing industries are the backbone of the local economy, while attracting tourists interested in history and nature. The city's blend of African heritage and colonial culture, with its narrow streets and colorful colonial buildings, creates a unique atmosphere and a window into Guinea-Bissau's history and culture.
Located in Anyang City, Henan Province, China, Yindu is the site of the capital city of the late Shang Dynasty in Chinese history and is known as the "First Ancient Capital of China". As the core area of the World Heritage site of Yinxu, a large number of oracle bones, bronze artifacts and palace ruins have been unearthed, providing key evidence for the study of ancient Chinese civilization.
The Yinxu Museum houses national cultural relics, including the Simuwu Tripod, which vividly demonstrate the social system, sacrificial culture and bronze casting technology of the Shang Dynasty. Its oracle bone archives are an important source of the evolution of Chinese characters and are listed in the Memory of the World Register.
Nowadays, Yindu District has become a modern urban area integrating archaeological research, cultural tourism and urban development. Through the organic combination of the site park and the museum, visitors can travel through more than 3,000 years to experience the bright light of Chinese civilization.
