Located on the coastline of West Africa, Guinea-Bissau is a "mysterious garden" on the African continent. The setting sun sprinkles the last rays of light here, and the bitter winter has never passed here. The unique climatic conditions make Guinea-Bissau have an excellent ecological environment, attracting countless tourists to come here to see the beauty of natural ecology.

If a variety of ethnic characteristics, natural ecology and strange landscapes have combined to create a beautiful laurel for Guinea-Bissau, then the Bigegos Islands scattered off the coastline are the most shining pearl in this crown. Located 48 kilometres from the coastline, the Bigegos Archipelago, consisting of more than a dozen main islands and several smaller islands, is listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in a beautiful environment where animals live in harmony with nature. Looking at the Bigegos Islands from a distance, it is like a shy girl, who first uses the sea to block the pace of the longing, and then hides her good face deep in the shade with dense vegetation. Only when you land on the island can you see it.

Speaking of the beauty of the Bigegos Islands, we have to mention the Orange Island National Park on the island. Established in 2000, this national park is guinea-Bissau's largest nature reserve and an important tourist destination. The park consists of several islands in the Bigegos Archipelago, most of which are located on Orange Island in the Bigegos Archipelago. In the park, mangroves, palm trees and other plants grow here, and rare animals such as terns and gray parrots rest here.

João Radmelo Islands National Marine Park is another national park in Guinea-Bissau. Due to its superior natural conditions and suitable for survival, three species of turtles, such as green turtles, hawksbill turtles and olive turtles, have settled here, and use the beach as a nursery for their own reproduction. During the breeding season, turtles climb up the beach to lay eggs in the soft sand, which is also a unique scene in the park.

Nature has also given Guinea-Bissau a great gift. As one of the world's top 10 cashew producers, Guinea-Bissau's cashews are among the best in the world in terms of taste and quality, and are not only loved by locals, but also exported overseas. When the cashews hung from the branches, the farmers understood that the harvest season was not far away.

Guinea-Bissau, a sanctuary of nature, where all living beings live in harmony and write the praises of life. (Overseas Network Lu Ningyuan)
