Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

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.

Shigu Academy is one of the four major ancient Chinese academies, founded in the Tang Dynasty, where Zhu Xi, a Song Dynasty scholar of science, once lectured, and is known as the "birthplace of Hunan culture".

The area is known for its deep historical heritage and natural beauty, surrounded by the Xiangjiang River and mountains, which is the iconic landscape of Hengyang. The modern Shigu District integrates education, tourism and urban development, preserving ancient buildings while building parks and cultural facilities to attract visitors to explore traditional Chinese culture and Hunan characteristics.
