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.
Cangxi County is located in the northern part of Sichuan Province in China, under Guangyuan City, in the middle reaches of the Jialing River and the southern foothills of the Qinba Mountain Range. It has a total area of about 2,330 square kilometers and a population of about 760,000 people. As an important part of the Sichuan-Shaanxi old revolutionary area, Cangxi carries a deep red cultural heritage.
Cangxi is an important place for the Red Army's Long March, with revolutionary sites such as the "Red Army Ferry". Cangxi is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Snow Pears", with pear blossoms like snow in spring and fragrant golden pears in fall.
