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 northwest of Pingtung County, Taiwan Province of China, Ganting is an agricultural township in the southern part of the island. It is bordered by Wandan Township to the east and Donggang Township to the west, with a total area of about 31.29 square kilometers and a population of about 12,000 people. Kanding Township focuses on agricultural production, mainly planting rice, lotus fog, bananas and other crops. Traditional Minnan culture is well preserved, and the local faith center, Fuan Gong, is an important religious site. Kanding Township has convenient transportation, with the Taiwan 27 line highway running through the whole territory, about 40 minutes drive from Kaohsiung City. The area still maintains a strong rural flavor and is one of the representative areas to experience the idyllic life in southern Taiwan.
