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.
Mubi Hasaac Autonomous County, belonging to Xinjiang Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, is located in the northern foothills of Tianshan Mountain and the southeastern edge of Junggar Basin, and was an important post on the northern route of the ancient Silk Road. The grassland and the Gobi are intertwined here, with the magnificent Mingsha Mountain, the peculiar poplar forest, and the vast Pingdingshan Grassland, where the grass is as green as carpet in summer and silver in winter, and the scenery is beautiful in all seasons. As a settlement of Kazakhs, the folk culture is rich, and traditional activities such as the Naadam Conference and the Akan Playing and Singing are uniquely charming. The area is also famous for its high-quality agricultural products such as chickpeas and wheat, and the ecotourism and folklore experience are blended together, making it an excellent place to experience Xinjiang's diverse cultures and natural beauty.
