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.
Linli County is located in the northern part of China's Hunan Province, under Changde City, in the middle and lower reaches of the river, with a total area of about 1,203 square kilometers. The area has a long history and is one of the important birthplaces of the Chu culture, with cultural sites such as Songyu City and Jiuli Chu Tomb Group. Linli has a predominantly agricultural economy, producing rice, cotton, oilseed rape and other crops, as well as rich mineral resources, with gypsum reserves among the highest in the country.
Linli has convenient transportation, with the Jiao Liu Railway and G55 Erguang Expressway running through the whole territory, and about 50 kilometers away from Changde Taohuayuan Airport. The local natural landscape and human resources are intermingled, and the Taifu Mountain Scenic Spot and Lin Boqu's former residence are popular tourist destinations. In recent years, Linli has been actively developing specialty industries and eco-tourism, becoming a county economic unit with potential in northern Hunan.
