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.
Luyi County is located in the eastern part of Henan Province in China, belonging to Zhoukou City, and is situated in the Yellow-Huaihai Plain, which is one of the birthplaces of Taoist culture. It has a total area of about 1,238 square kilometers and a population of about 1.2 million. The county focuses on agriculture, producing wheat, corn and other food crops, while developing light industry and tourism.
Luyi is the hometown of Laozi (Li Er), known as the "Source of Taoism", and boasts historical sites such as the Taiqing Palace and the Laojun Terrace, which attract a large number of tourists and scholars every year for pilgrimage and research. The city is rich in culture, with a variety of traditional festivals and folk activities.
Luyi has an advantageous geographical location and convenient transportation, close to the Beijing-Kowloon Railway and Lianhuo Expressway. The economy is based on agriculture, gradually promoting industrialization and tourism development, focusing on ecological protection and sustainable development, and is one of the important cultural business cards of Henan Province.
