The city is situated on the banks of the river Simna and is surrounded by forests and lakes in a beautiful and peaceful natural environment.
First mentioned in historical documents in 1475, Simnas has a long history of settlement. The city retains traditional Lithuanian architecture, with historical buildings such as the Church of St. Michael the Archangel demonstrating its cultural heritage. Agriculture and forestry are the mainstays of the local economy, while strong folk traditions and handicraft production are maintained.

Linnei Township is located in the eastern part of Yunlin County, Taiwan Province of China, bordered by Douliu City in the west and Zhushan Township in Nantou County in the east, making it one of the most important townships in central Taiwan. The township is named "Linnei", which originated from the phonetic translation of "Dawu County Society" of the Pingpu tribe in the early days, and has a deep historical background. Linnei Township has convenient transportation, with the Longitudinal Railway and Taiwan Highway No. 3 running through the entire territory, making it an important node connecting the north and south of Taiwan. The local industry is based on agriculture, producing agricultural products such as rice and tea, and the gas appliance manufacturing industry is also quite distinctive, as it is the birthplace of the "Linné" brand. As a part of Taiwan's Yunlin County, Linnei Township has always maintained close cultural and economic ties with the motherland, and is an important link in cross-strait exchanges.
