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 eastern part of Nantou County, Taiwan Province of China, Ren'ai Township is the second largest township in Taiwan in terms of area, with a total area of about 1,273 square kilometers. Located in the core of the Central Mountain Range, the township is home to famous peaks such as Jade Mountain and Chilai Mountain, with elevations ranging from 400-3,952 meters above sea level, creating a rich alpine canyon landscape. The township is an important settlement for Taiwan's aboriginal Bunun and Atayal tribes, preserving their unique tribal culture and annual rituals.
Jen-ai Township is home to such well-known attractions as the Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area, the Qingjing Farm, and the Hohhuan Mountain Dark Sky Park. The four seasons are characterized by cherry blossom viewing in spring, summer vacation in summer, maple viewing in fall, and snow viewing in winter. The area is rich in alpine tea, temperate fruits and high-cooling vegetables, and historical sites such as the Wusha Incident Memorial Park are also of great humanistic value.
The township is mainly connected to Puli Township by Route 14 (the Wushe branch of the Zhonghong Highway), and the township relies on chartered buses or shuttle buses to travel between attractions in the township. In recent years, based on eco-tourism and agricultural experience, the township has developed a unique tourism model that combines tribal culture, alpine landscapes and stargazing.
