Schellenberg is a historic municipality in the north of Liechtenstein and one of the smallest administrative regions in the country, situated on the gentle slopes of the Rhine Valley, close to the Swiss border. Although small, the town carries the story of Liechtenstein's origins - the ruins of the "Upper Liechtenstein" castle, which is a testament to the Liechtenstein family's acquisition of territories in the 13th century, and the remains of its medieval stone walls still attract history buffs to explore the town. The town of Schellenberg is characterized by its tranquil atmosphere. Schellenberg is known for its idyllic, rural atmosphere, where visitors can stroll along winding paths with views of the Alps and the Rhine, or explore the traditional wooden houses and family-owned breweries for a taste of Liechtenstein's slower pace of life. As an important node of Liechtenstein's "Culture Trail", traditional events such as the Medieval Market are held every year, allowing visitors to experience the richness of this miniature country in a relaxed atmosphere.
Sanson is a major port city in the West African country of Benin, Republic of Benin, located in the south of the country on the Atlantic coast, about 30 kilometers from the economic center of Cotonou. As an emerging economic hub of Benin, the Port of Sanson is a modern deep-water port built by the country to relieve pressure on the Port of Cotonou, which will be operational in 2022, significantly enhancing regional maritime capacity.
Located on the northern coast of the Gulf of Guinea, Sanson has excellent natural deepwater conditions. The completion of the port has made Benin a maritime gateway to the West African region, with the capacity to berth large container ships, handling mainly the import and export of agricultural products, minerals and industrial materials, and playing a key role in facilitating Benin's trade with neighboring landlocked countries such as Niger and Burkina Faso.
With the operation of the port, Sanson is rapidly developing into an industrial and logistics center, attracting warehousing, processing and manufacturing industries. The city's surroundings are predominantly agricultural, producing crops such as palm and cotton. The local area has retained Benin's traditional Voda culture and is attracting attention for its future potential as the infrastructure is gradually improved due to the construction of the port.
