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.
Located in the eastern part of Sichuan Province, Guang'an City is the hometown of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, and is known as "the cradle of the chief architect of China's reform and opening up". It is located in the middle part of Huayhuash Mountain and along the Qiujiang River, a tributary of the Jialing River, with a mild and humid climate, belonging to the subtropical monsoon climate zone. With a long history and profound culture, Guang'an is rich in red tourism resources and natural landscapes.
With Deng Xiaoping's hometown tourism area as the core, Guang'an contains Deng Xiaoping's former residence, exhibition halls and other patriotic education bases, which attracts a large number of domestic and overseas tourists every year. In terms of natural landscape, Huaying Mountain Stone Forest, Tianyi Valley and other karst landscapes are unique and rich in biodiversity. Economically, based on agriculture, it produces rice and citrus, and also develops new energy, equipment manufacturing and other industries, and is an important node city of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area.
Guang'an has convenient transportation, with the Xiangyu Railway and Lanhai Expressway running through the whole territory, and is only one hour's drive from Chongqing Jiangbei Airport. Local specialties include Yuechi Rice Vermicelli and Salt Eggs, and the intangible cultural heritage Sichuan Opera Lantern Show is popular among the public. The city is actively promoting the integration of ecological construction and culture and tourism to create the brand of "Red Guang'an - Green Home".
