Located in the northern part of Hualien County, Xiulin Township in Taiwan, China, is known as the core area of Taroko National Park and is famous for its magnificent marble canyon landscapes and rich ecological resources. The Li-Wu River cuts deep canyons here, forming famous geological wonders such as the Changchun Shrine, Swallow's Mouth, and Jiuqu Cave. Along the way, you can see marble rock walls, waterfalls, and pristine forests, making it a popular hiking destination in Taiwan. The township is home to the Taroko and other aboriginal people, who have preserved traditional tribal culture and crafts, such as slate house weaving and hunting rituals. Xiu Lin has both natural wonders and humanistic heritage. Visitors can experience canyon exploration, hot springs and aboriginal culture, and feel the charm of mountain and sea blending.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
