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.
Located in the northeastern part of Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China, Pingshan New District is one of the functional new districts under the jurisdiction of Shenzhen City and was established in 2009. As an important development area in the eastern part of Shenzhen, Pingshan New District is dedicated to building a modernized and internationalized city demonstration area, with high-tech industries, biomedicine and new energy vehicles as its main focus. With an area of about 168 square kilometers and a population of about 600,000, the area has a convenient transportation network, including Metro Line 14 and the Shenshan Expressway.
Pingshan New District has a beautiful natural environment with ecological resources such as MaRuan Mountain and Pingshan River, while focusing on cultural and educational development with colleges and universities such as Shenzhen University of Technology. The district is actively promoting industrial upgrading and urban construction to become an important growth pole in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
