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.
Hegang City is located in the northeast of China's Heilongjiang Province, at the eastern foot of Xiaoxingan, at the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Songhua Rivers, across the river from Russia, with a 175-kilometer-long border, making it one of the most important border cities in Heilongjiang Province. As a resource-oriented city that thrives on coal, Hegang was once famous for its rich coal resources and was known as "Coal City". In recent years, with the transformation of resource-exhausted cities, Hegang has gradually attracted attention by relying on the advantage of low housing prices, and has become the choice of many young people and freelancers to settle down, while actively developing modern agriculture, eco-tourism and other industries to promote the diversified development of the city's economy. With long, cold winters and abundant snow and ice resources, the city combines a bold northeastern flavor with border characteristics.
