There is a place in the world called Gao Chang Island. Where is it?

It should be Coco Island, a magical island in the vast Caribbean called Martinique.

Every 10 years or so, there is a strange phenomenon that puzzles people: the adult men and women living on the island have grown a few centimeters. The average height of adult males is as high as1.90m, and that of adult females is over1.74m.. If the young men on the island are less than 1.8 meters tall, they will be ridiculed as "dwarfs" by their peers.

This kind of "courtesy" is obviously a kind of "gospel" for some people who think they are short. So Martinique attracts many tourists every year, most of whom are short people from all over the world. Short people who come to live on this island for a period of time will grow a few centimeters taller for no reason. Therefore, people call Martinique "a paradise for short people".
