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.
Menghai County is located in the southwestern part of Yunnan Province, belonging to Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, connected to Pu'er City in the north and Myanmar in the south, and is the only ecological oasis on the Tropic of Cancer. It is the only ecological oasis on the Tropic of Cancer. It is known as the "Home of Pu'er Tea", with eight ancient tea mountains, including Brown Mountain, Nannuo Mountain and Menghai Sung Mountain, which gave birth to top-quality Pu'er teas such as Laobanzhang and Iceland (Menghai's production area), and the tea culture is profound, with the hoofprints of the Tea and Horse Trail still remaining to this day. With over 70% forest coverage, Menghai Tea National Park, Napa Sea Wetland and other natural wonders, as well as the ethnic customs of the Brown and Hani ethnic groups, the traditional tea-making techniques and folk culture are intertwined. Menghai combines the warmth of the tropical rainforest climate with the spirit of the plateau, making it a secret destination for tea culture explorers and nature lovers.
