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.
Jianning is located in the northwestern part of Sanming City, Fujian Province, China, in the middle of Wuyi Mountain Range, which is the birthplace of the main source of Minjiang River. As an old revolutionary county, it has rich red cultural resources and ecological tourism resources. Jianning is known for its abundant production of Jianlian, known as the "Hometown of Jianlian in China", and is also a nationally important hybrid rice seed production base and a key county in the pear industry.
The county has a central subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons and a superior ecological environment with over 70% forest coverage. The main attractions include the Golden Cymbal Mountain, the Minjiang River Source National Nature Reserve, and the Memorial Park of the Anti-Siege of the Central Soviet Area, forming a characteristic tourism system of "red + green". Jianning has convenient transportation, with the Pu-mei Railway and the Jiantai Expressway running through the whole area, and is about 3 hours' drive from Fuzhou.
