Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

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.

In addition to the textile industry, the town has developed a wide range of industries such as hardware and machinery, and has retained a large number of traditional buildings and folk activities in southern Fujian, such as the Mazu Birthday Celebration held on the 23rd day of the third month of the lunar calendar every year.

There are many primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the town. Public facilities include the town library, sports parks, etc., so life functions are sound. In recent years, the town has actively promoted the development of tourism, combining traditional craft experiences with eco-tourism, and has become one of the important cultural and leisure destinations in Changhua.
