Same, the capital of Timor-Leste's Ainaro District, is located about 50 kilometers south of the capital, Dili, in the mountainous interior and is an important agricultural and transportation hub for the country.

The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty and close to Mount Ramelau, Timor-Leste's highest peak, making it a stopover for hiking enthusiasts. A blend of traditional Timacu culture and modern townscape, Samu offers a unique look at the interior of Timor-Leste.
Located in the southernmost tip of Taiwan's Hsinchu County, adjacent to Miaoli County and west of the Taiwan Strait, Zhunan Town is an important transportation and commercial hub in the Zhumiao region. With the Taiwan Railway Longitudinal Line and highways running through it, the convenient location makes Zhunan the gateway to the central part of Northern Taiwan. The area retains a strong old-street atmosphere, with the Zhongzheng Road shopping district full of nostalgic buildings, and century-old restaurants such as "Ah Cai Pork Dumplings" and "Xincheng Red Bad Pork Rice" and other local snacks attracting gourmets to seek out flavors. Zhunan Harbor was once an important fishing port, but now it has been transformed into a waterfront park, where the sunset scenery of the fishing harbor at dusk mirrors the coastal walkway. Combining the vitality of a traditional market with the relaxation of a coastal town, Zhunan's call for "Good Taste of Zhunan" allows visitors to experience the unique charm of Taiwan's small towns through the intertwining of history and cuisine.
