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 northwest of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Leye County is situated at the southeast foot of Yunnan-Gui Plateau and belongs to Baise City, which is the core location of China's "World Sinkhole Museum". There are 28 sinkholes in the county, including Dashiwei Sinkhole Group, of which the depth of Dashiwei Sinkhole reaches 613 meters, which is the second largest sinkhole in the world, with well-preserved primitive forests inside the sinkhole, rich in rare flora and fauna, which is regarded as the "green miracle on the earth". The karst landscape here has typical development, with peaks, depressions and caves all over the place, coupled with a pleasant climate with an average annual temperature of 16.3℃, it is a resort for eco-tourism, scientific research and exploration, and summer vacation and leisure. Leye is not only famous for its geological wonders, but also integrates the cultures of Zhuang, Yao and other ethnic minorities with rich folk customs, making it a secret place where nature and humanity are intertwined.
