Copenhagen, the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Denmark, is located on the east coast of Zealand, near the Øresund Strait, and is known as the "Paris of Northern Europe". As one of the world's most livable cities, it is known for its green environment, bicycle culture and design innovation.
Founded in 1167, Copenhagen has a rich heritage, including the Renaissance-style Rosenborg Castle and the home of fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen. The city's blend of classical architecture and modern design is epitomized by the colorful houses in the canal area of Newport and the bohemian atmosphere of the Free City of Christiansen.
As the center of the Nordic economy, Copenhagen is dominated by the shipping, biotechnology and clean energy industries. The city plans to achieve the world's first carbon-neutral capital goal by 2025, with extensive promotion of bike paths and green energy sources such as offshore wind farms.
Famous attractions include the Little Mermaid statue, Tivoli Land and the Round Tower. The city enjoys a high level of welfare and work-life balance, with Michelin restaurants and organic markets lining the streets, and has been ranked as one of the world's happiest cities for many years.
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.
