Located in the northern foothills of the Tien Shan Mountains in eastern Kyrgyzstan, Elkintu is a small town in Naryn Oblast, about 1,800 meters above sea level, surrounded by snow-covered steppes and a beautiful natural environment. It is characterized by a traditional nomadic culture, with local residents mostly engaged in animal husbandry, with well-watered pastures and flocks of cattle and sheep in summer, and then turning to a sedentary life in winter. The town retains traditional Kyrgyz wooden houses and handicrafts, and you can occasionally see herdsmen driving their sheep through the streets. Despite its small size, Erkintu is a great place to experience Central Asian mountain life and the warmth of nomadic herders, and there are hiking and bird-watching routes in the vicinity for nature- and culture-loving travelers to explore.
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.
