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.
Gongjing District is a municipal district of Zigong City, Sichuan Province, located in the southern part of the Sichuan Basin and the western suburb of Zigong City, with an area of 407.88 square kilometers and a resident population of about 270,000 people. As one of the birthplaces of salt culture in Zigong, Gongjing has emerged because of salt, and the name "Gongjing" historically originated from the ancient tribute to the imperial court salt wells, preserved in the territory of the sky car, the Salt Guild Hall and other relics of the salt industry in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is the location of the "Famous Historical and Cultural Town of China", the Aiye Ancient Town, known as the "Thousand-Year Salt Town". Gongjing is known as the west gate of the "Thousand-Year Salt Capital".
Nowadays, Gongjing is a blend of tradition and modernity, with red cultural landmarks such as the former residence of Wu Yuzhang, as well as specialties such as Longdu fragrant pomelo and Gongjing black goat. Relying on the construction of Zigong National Cultural Export Base, Gongjing is promoting the integration of culture and tourism and industrial upgrading, and has become a livable urban area with both historical heritage and vitality in southern Sichuan.
