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.
Linhai, a county-level city in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, is located in the central coast of Zhejiang Province, on the south coast of Taizhou Bay, east of the East China Sea, west of Cangshan Mountain, known as "the ancient capital of the landscape, the southeast of the county" reputation. This ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 2,000 years is one of the cultural birthplaces of Taizhou, and the existing Linhai Ancient Great Wall (Jiangnan Great Wall) was built in the Jin and Tang dynasties, with a total length of more than 6,000 meters, meandering at the top of the green mountains, and the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, known as the "Sisters of the Great Wall". Ziyang Street in the city still has a thousand years of ancient charm, retaining the pattern of streets and lanes and the style of merchants since the Tang and Song dynasties, and is known as the "First Street of Taizhou". Linhai is not only rich in humanities, but also has the advantage of mountains and the sea: the beaches in the east have nurtured specialties such as Linhai honey orange and Yongquan honey pomelo, while the Bracang Mountain in the west is a famous mountain in Southeast Zhejiang Province, where you can climb up to the top to watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds. Nowadays, this ancient city is blending historical heritage with modern vigor, becoming a tourist destination in the Yangtze River Delta region with both cultural charm and ecological value.
