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 southeast of Guangdong Province, Lufeng City is a county-level city under the administration of Shanwei City, which is situated between the east coast of Guangdong and the special economic zones of Shenzhen and Shantou, bordering on the South China Sea, with a total area of 1,687 square kilometers. Lufeng has a long history, the county was established in the third year of Ming Jiajing (1524), and it is an important part of the revolutionary base of Hailufeng, with a profound red cultural heritage. It is rich in mountain and sea resources, with a coastline of 116.5 kilometers, and scenic spots such as Jinqiangtan and Xuanwu Mountain integrating natural landscape and humanistic heritage, and the Yuanshan Temple on Xuanwu Mountain is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit. Lufeng has a well-developed fishery industry, producing seafood such as lobster and grouper, and its agriculture is characterized by rice, lychee and longan. As a place where Chaoshan and Hakka cultures mingle, non-heritage such as Zhengzhi Opera and Shadow Puppet Show are inherited here, and it is a city in the eastern part of Guangdong that combines revolutionary history, coastal flavor and folklore charm.
