Makak is a small town in the South West Region of Cameroon, about 150 kilometers west of the capital city of Yaoundé, on the edge of the tropical rainforest, surrounded by dense forests and meandering rivers, and is the center of local agriculture and small-scale trade. The climate is hot and humid, the main cash crops include cocoa, coffee and oil palm, and the inhabitants are mostly engaged in traditional farming and handicraft making. As a representative of rural western Cameroon, Makak retains a strong tribal cultural tradition, with Fang and Douala as the local languages, and traditional celebrations such as harvest festivals are held annually to attract tourists from around the region. Despite its relatively simple infrastructure, its unique natural ecology and humanistic flavor make it a window into Cameroon's rural life.
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.
