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.
Beimen Township is located in the southwest coast of Chiayi County, Taiwan Province of China, at the southern end of the Chiayi Plain, west of the Taiwan Strait, east of Xingang Township, south of Tainan City's Qigu District, and north of Yizhu Township, which is a typical coastal agricultural township. It is a typical coastal agricultural township with flat terrain, dense river network, rich aquatic resources and fertile farmland, and abundant production of tropical fruits such as wendan, mango, watermelon, etc., especially the "Beimen wendan", which is one of the important high-quality fruit production areas in Taiwan. In addition, the Beimen Wetland is rich in ecological resources and is an important habitat for migratory birds, with both ecological conservation and tourism value. The area has preserved the traditional Minnan culture, with ancient houses, temples and other humanistic landscapes contrasting with the coastal scenery, demonstrating the simplicity and vitality of Taiwan's countryside.
