Kowloon, Hong Kong, China is located in the northern part of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbor from Hong Kong Island, and is one of the three major districts in Hong Kong. Since the opening of the port in 1842, Kowloon has blended Chinese and Western cultures, both the modern prosperity of Tsim Sha Tsui, but also Mong Kok, Yaumatei, the authentic city atmosphere. It is home to landmarks such as the Avenue of Stars and the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, the urban flavor of the Temple Street Night Market, the shopping paradise of Canton Road, and the Hong Kong-style cuisine of Hong Kong style cafes, all of which together make up the unique cityscape. As one of the commercial, tourism and cultural centers of Hong Kong, Kowloon carries the diverse genes of Hong Kong, epitomizing the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan city and a must-visit place to experience Hong Kong's local culture.
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.
