Butuo County is located in the southeastern part of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China, in the transition zone between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin, with an average altitude of about 2,000 meters. The county is predominantly populated by the Yi ethnic group, accounting for more than 90% of the total population, and is an important birthplace and preservation site of Yi culture. Butou has a cool climate, rich in natural resources, and agriculture is dominated by potato, buckwheat and animal husbandry.
Culturally, Butuo is famous for its unique traditional Yi festival "Torch Festival", which attracts a large number of tourists every year. Local houses, costumes and Bimo culture have retained their ancient characteristics. The economy is based on agriculture and tourism, and is gradually developing eco-tourism and ethnic culture experience programs. Conveniently connected by highway to cities such as Xichang, Butuo is an ideal destination for exploring the human and natural landscapes of the Greater Liangshan region.
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.
