Located in the northeastern part of the Chengdu Plain in Sichuan Province, China, Guanghan is part of Deyang City, about 20 kilometers away from downtown Chengdu, and is an important part of the Chengdu Metropolitan Area. With a history of more than 4,000 years, the city was known as Luo Cheng (雒城), and is the core birthplace of the Sanxingdui (三星堆) culture. The Sanxingdui ruins, unearthed in 1986, shocked the world and are known as the "source of the Yangtze River civilization".
Guanghan has a total area of 548 square kilometers and a population of about 600,000 people. It not only preserves historical sites such as the Tang Dynasty Fanghu Park and the Ming Dynasty Longju Temple, but also has modern educational institutions such as the Civil Aviation Flight School of China, which has formed the "Aviation Characteristic Industrial Park". The "Baobao Festival" held annually is listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage, displaying a unique folk culture.
As an important node of Chengdu-Demian economic belt, Guanghan has convenient transportation, with the Chengmianle Intercity Railway and Jingkun Expressway passing through the city. With the Sanxingdui Museum as the core of tourism resources, together with attractions such as Songlin Peach Blossom Garden and Duanjia Compound, Guanghan receives more than one million visitors annually, making it an internationally renowned ancient cultural tourism destination.
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.
