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.
Muchuan County is located in the southern part of China's Sichuan Province, under the city of Leshan, on the southwestern edge of the Sichuan Basin, with a total area of about 1,408 square kilometers. The county is famous for its rich ecological resources, with a forest coverage of over 77%, and is known as the "Natural Oxygen Bar" and "Green Pearl". Muchuan has a subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons, and its natural landscape is dominated by bamboo forests, streams and hills, making it an important ecotourism destination in southern Sichuan.
Mu Chuan has a rich cultural heritage, with unique southern Sichuan folklore and bamboo cultural traditions, and the bamboo weaving craft has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage. The economy is based on agriculture and tourism, with an abundance of agricultural products such as tea and bamboo, while eco-tourism has been developed based on natural beauty, attracting tourists to experience rural leisure and outdoor adventure. Transportation is convenient, with road and rail connections to major cities such as Chengdu and Leshan.
