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.
Bade District is located in the northwestern part of Taoyuan City, Taiwan, and is one of the most important administrative districts in Taoyuan City. Originally known as "Badeh Chu", the district was reorganized as a county municipality in 1995 due to population growth, and was renamed to its current name in 2014 when Taoyuan County was elevated to the status of a municipality. With an area of 33.71 square kilometers and a population of over 200,000, it is a densely populated metropolitan area in Northern Taiwan.
Bade District is located in the Taoyuan Tableland, adjacent to the core areas of Taoyuan District and Jhongli District. The transportation network is well-developed, including National Highway No. 2, Provincial Highway No. 4 and other major arteries, and it is about a 20-minute drive from the Taoyuan International Airport, providing both metropolitan convenience and living functions.
Manufacturing is the main industry in the area, including electronics, machinery and food processing. Famous landmarks include the Bade Hingren Garden Night Market and Pi Tong Ecological Park, etc. Meanwhile, it retains the traditional triad architecture of southern Fujian, demonstrating the coexistence of humanity and nature. In recent years, due to the construction of the MRT Green Line, it has become a key development area in Taoyuan.
