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.
The Geumgang is an important river in South Korea, rather than a country or city. It originates in Jangsu-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and flows through a number of districts before eventually emptying into the Yellow Sea, with a total length of about 401 kilometers. Covering Chungcheongnam-do and Jeollabuk-do, the Gum River basin is known for its rich agricultural and ecological resources. Cities along the river such as Gongju and Buyeo are rich in historical and cultural heritage, such as the remains of the Baekje period, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The river also supports fisheries and tourism and is an important part of Korea's natural and humanistic landscape.
