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 on the western coast of Tainan City, Taiwan Province of China, Tseung Kwan O District was formerly known as "General Chuang", the name originating from the fact that Huang Zhao, a general during the Ming and Zheng Dynasties, settled here. The area is about 41.98 square kilometers, with a population of about 20,000. Agriculture and fishery are the main industries, and crops such as burdock and carrot are abundant. There are fishing bases such as General Fishing Harbor and Castle Peak Fishing Harbor, and Mashagou Coastal Recreation Area is a famous sightseeing spot. The local area retains the style of traditional southern Fujian settlements, and organizes cultural activities such as the Shogun's Roar Music Festival every year, which demonstrates the unique local humanistic characteristics.
