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.
Tacheng, located in the northwestern part of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, at the northern foothills of Tianshan Mountain and the northwestern edge of Junggar Basin, bordering with Kazakhstan, is an important hub on the northern route of the Ancient Silk Road and a border port city opening up to the west of China. With the magnificent Baluk Mountain, vast Kurustai grassland and charming Wusu Hot Spring, the natural scenery and humanistic landscapes of the city are intertwined. As a multi-ethnic settlement, Tacheng integrates the cultural flavors of 29 ethnic groups, including Han, Kazakh, Uyghur and Mongolian, with rich folk customs and specialty foods. Relying on the advantages of ports, Tacheng is an important trade channel connecting Central Asia and Europe, and its agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism industries are booming, making it a pleasant and vibrant frontier city to live and work in.
