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.
Located in the eastern part of Taitung County, Peinan in Taiwan is one of the main settlements of the Peinan tribe, an aboriginal group in Taiwan, and has a deep cultural heritage. Traditional rituals and crafts, such as the Monkey Festival and the New Year's Festival, have been preserved here, demonstrating the aboriginal people's unique rituals of life and community cohesion. In terms of natural scenery, the meandering Beinan Stream is surrounded by Chimoto Hot Springs and Riyoshigetsu World, which are known as "Hot Springs Town" for their mild water quality, and Riyoshigetsu World, which is a geologic wonderland with its bad terrain. The area is a blend of tradition and modernity, with aboriginal cultural parks where you can experience handicrafts, songs and dances, as well as convenient amenities, making it an ideal place to experience Taiwan's diverse cultures and the charms of nature, and highlighting the rich ecological and humanistic diversity of Taiwan, China.
