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 northeastern part of China's Fujian Province, Jiaocheng District is the political, economic and cultural center of Ningde City. As an important city in the coastal area of east Fujian, it is bordered by Sanduao in the east and mountainous areas in the west, with rich natural resources and strategic location. Jiaocheng has a long history, with human activities as early as the Neolithic Age, and is one of the birthplaces of Eastern Fujian culture.
Situated in the coastal hilly area, Jiaocheng District has a subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons and abundant rainfall. The region is characterized by long rivers, high forest coverage and a beautiful ecological environment, suitable for agriculture and tourism.
The economy is dominated by fisheries, agriculture and new industries, with new energy and tourism developing rapidly in recent years. Jiaocheng has a deep cultural heritage, with She folklore, traditional festivals and historical sites, such as Jiti Mountain and national key cultural relics protection units.
Tourism resources are abundant, including the coastal scenery of Sandu'ao, the Buddhist sanctuary of Zhiti Mountain and the ancient town of Huotong. Local specialties are famous for seafood, tea and fruits, attracting many tourists to experience the beauty of nature and humanity.
