Located in the western part of Nantou County, Taiwan Province of China, Chi-Chi Town is a famous historical and cultural town in Taiwan. The town is famous for the Chi-Chi Railway branch line, and boasts the Chi-Chi Station (a wooden station) built during the Japanese colonial period, which is now one of the oldest train stations in Taiwan. The town's specialties include bananas, dragon fruits, and other agricultural products, and the annual Chi-Chi Green Tunnel Marathon attracts many tourists. The main attractions include the Mingxin Academy, the Chiji Barrage Weir, and the Military History Park, featuring both humanistic and natural landscapes.
Visitors can take the Jiji Railway or drive on National Highway 3. We recommend cycling through the Green Tunnel, visiting the 921 Earthquake Site, and enjoying a traditional banana egg roll. The best time to visit is from October to April, when the weather is cool enough for outdoor activities.
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.
