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.
It should be noted that the term "Ruyi Mountains" is commonly used to refer to the Rwenzori Mountains in East Africa, on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and is not a landmark in South Africa. South Africa is dominated by the Drakensberg Mountains, with the highest peak at 3,482 meters above sea level, Mount Tabana Ntlanyana. If you are referring to a specific mountain or place name in South Africa, it is recommended that you further verify the accuracy of the name. The Ruwenzori Mountains, known as the "Mountains of the Moon", are a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their glaciers, unique vegetation and rich biodiversity, while South Africa's natural landscape is characterized by grasslands, gorges and the dramatic mountains of the Drakensberg.
