description The article examines the historiographical controversy surrounding the identification of "Shuangyu" (雙嶼) in Chinese documents with the Portuguese trading base of Liampó, established on the coast of Zhejiang in the early sixteenth century and destroyed in 1548 by imperial troops. Departing from the scarcity of archaeological evidence, the author critically draws upon Ming cartography and its subsequent reeditions, focusing on the manner in which "Shuangyu" appears in different works and scales, and on the consequent difficulty of extracting an unequivocal location from broad-coverage maps alone. The methodology consists of a comparative analysis of maps and descriptions associated with the Port of Shuangyu and neighboring toponymic elements, especially Mount Liuheng (formerly Huanggong/Lu'ao), articulating cartographic information with textual testimonies such as Zhu Wan's inspection. The main conclusions contend that, although "ancient" maps consistently locate the Port of Shuangyu at the foot of Mount Liuheng, they do not permit, by virtue of their scale, a direct and conclusive link to the Portuguese. Thus, the article redefines the problem: before asserting etymological correspondences, it is necessary to control the terminological variations and spatial precision of cartographic sources.
