Ziguan District is located on the southwest coast of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province of China, neighboring Nanzi District in the north, Qiaotou District in the east, bordering the Taiwan Strait in the west, and Yanshao District in the south, making it an important area for combining agriculture and fishery in Kaohsiung City. Known for its fertile alluvial plains and warm climate, the area produces high-quality agricultural products such as Ziguan watermelon and Wendan pomelo, and is known as the "Fruit Township". The coastal Chikan Fishing Harbor provides fresh seafood, and the culture of the fishing village is strong. The Ziguan Watermelon Festival held every year attracts many tourists. The Ziguan Daitianfu (Daitian Mansion), a monument in the area, is dedicated to the Chifu Senju, and is the center of local beliefs, with a history dating back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Ziguan combines idyllic scenery with coastal features, making it a good place to experience traditional life and natural scenery in southern Taiwan.
The town of Río Benito is located in the coastal zone of the mainland region of Equatorial Guinea (Río Muni District) and is an important port town in the province of Centro Sur (Provincia de Centro Sur). The town is situated at the mouth of the Benito River, on the Atlantic Ocean, about 250 kilometers from the capital city of Malabo, and is a hub of land and water transportation connecting the sea with the interior.
The town of Benito River relies on a natural harbor to develop fishing and timber trade, and the surrounding area is covered with tropical rainforests, which are rich in high quality timber such as Okume wood. In recent years, with the development of Equatorial Guinea's oil economy, the town's infrastructure has been gradually improved, and it has become one of the transit points for oil-related materials. The climate is characterized by tropical rainforests, with high temperatures and heavy rains throughout the year.
The inhabitants are mainly from the Fang ethnic group, and Spanish and French are the official languages. The town retains its colonial architecture and has a modern marina. With land access to neighboring Gabon and a small airport nearby to support regional traffic, it is an important gateway for exploring the rainforest ecology and cultural heritage of the mainland region of Equatorial Guinea.
