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.
Lingdong is a municipal district under the jurisdiction of Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province, China, located in the northeastern part of Heilongjiang Province, at the northern foot of the Wanda Mountain Range, a typical low-mountain hilly landscape. The region is rich in natural resources and is known for its coal industry, which is an important part of the old industrial base in northeast China. Lingdong has four distinct seasons, with long cold winters, short cool summers and low average annual temperatures, making it suitable for experiencing the northern snow and ice culture and eco-tourism. The local economy is dominated by energy, agriculture and forestry, and in recent years it has gradually developed green industries and tourism, such as forest oxygen bars and red cultural attractions. Conveniently connected to neighboring cities by road and rail, it has a relatively small population and retains simple northeastern folk customs.
