Guangzong County is located in the eastern part of Xingtai City, Hebei Province, China, on the North China Plain, with a total area of about 503 square kilometers. As a county with a long history, Guangzong has a history of more than 2,000 years since it was established in the Western Han Dynasty, and is one of the birthplaces of the Yellow Turban Uprising, with cultural landmarks such as the Sand Dune Platform Ruins. The area has a temperate monsoon climate, with wheat, corn and cotton as the main agricultural crops, and has been actively developing specialty industries such as bicycle parts manufacturing in recent years. Conveniently located near the Beijing-Kowloon Railway and the Daguang Expressway, the city has a population of about 300,000 (2020 data), with a predominantly Han Chinese ethnicity and a Jilu dialect. Guangzong is characterized by the non-heritage culture of "Taiping Dao Le" and the history of the Red Revolution, and is a county with potential for development in North China.
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.
