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.
Dong'a County is located in the western part of Shandong Province in China, belonging to Liaocheng City, and is situated in the western plains of Shandong Province, along the Yellow River. The county has a long history, is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, and is known globally as the "Hometown of Colla Corii Asini". Dong'a Colla Corii Asini is one of the most valuable traditional Chinese medicines, with a history of more than 2,000 years, and has been listed as a National Geographical Indication product.
With a total area of about 799 square kilometers and a population of about 400,000, Dong'a County has a temperate monsoon climate and well-developed agriculture and specialty industries. There are cultural attractions such as Cao Zhi's Tomb and Yushan Brahmacharya, blending natural and humanistic landscapes. Conveniently connected to major cities in Shandong Province via highways and railroad networks, the region has seen steady economic growth in recent years through the active development of the health and tourism industries.
Focusing on ecological protection, the region has a beautiful environment along the Yellow River area, which is suitable for cultural tourism and investment expeditions, and is a typical representative of China's rural revitalization and traditional cultural inheritance.
