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 western part of Zhejiang Province, Kecheng District is the main city of Quzhou, upstream of the Qiantang River, at the junction of Zhejiang, Fujian, Gan and Anhui provinces, and has been a strategic location for "four provinces through the streets and five roads" since ancient times. As the core area of South Confucius Culture, it has Quzhou Confucius Temple, one of the only two Confucius Family Temples in the country, which has been infiltrated by Confucianism for thousands of years and has a profound humanistic heritage. The mountains and waters in the area reflect each other, with Rouke Mountain becoming the birthplace of Go culture due to the legend of "Wang Qi meets the Immortals", and Xin'an Lake National Tourism Resort linking up the new charm of the ancient city. With distinctive industries, digital industry, green food, culture, tourism, recreation and health care, the city is an ecological city suitable for living and working, as well as a charming destination for exploring the cultural lineage of Jiangnan and experiencing a slow life.
