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 on the southeastern coast of China's Zhejiang Province, Wenling is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Taizhou City and is situated on the southern flank of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone. The city is famous for its manufacturing, fishing and tourism industries, and is rich in marine resources, history and culture. Wenling is famous as the "Hometown of Water Pumps" and "Shoes Base" in China, with a well-developed industrial economy.
In terms of natural landscape, Wenling has a beautiful coastline, including the national 4A-level scenic area of Fangshan-Nansongyan and Shitang Coastal Tourism Area, the latter of which is famous for its unique stone house architecture and sunrise viewing resorts. The climate is subtropical monsoon with four distinct seasons, making it suitable for tourism. The population is about 1.2 million and the local dialect is Wenling dialect (a branch of Wu language). Transportation is convenient, with connections to major cities via high-speed railways, highways and nearby airports.
