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 northern part of Fujian Province, China, Jianyang District is part of Nanping City and is a famous historical and cultural city in northern Fujian. It has a total area of 3,383 square kilometers and a population of about 340,000 people. Anciently known as "Tan City", Jianyang is the hometown and place of study of Zhu Xi, a famous scholar of science in the Song Dynasty, and is regarded as a "famous state of science".
It is famous for its "Jianjian" (black-glazed porcelain tea bowls) and "Jianben" (Song Dynasty engraved printing), and is one of the most important birthplaces of the world's ceramic and printing cultures. It is rich in natural landscapes, with attractions such as part of the Wuyi Mountain National Park, the Kao Ting Academy, and Wolong Bay, and combines Zhu Zi culture, tea culture, and eco-tourism resources.
As the green hinterland of Fujian, Jianyang's economy is dominated by agriculture, forestry and tourism, and in recent years, it has been actively developing cultural industries and ecological economy, and is an important transportation node connecting Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
