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.
Pingwu County is located in the northwest of Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, in the transition zone from the Northwest Sichuan Plateau to the Sichuan Basin, and is an important ecological barrier on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. With Wanglang National Nature Reserve and vast panda habitats, Pingwu County is known as one of the "hometowns of pandas". The mountains in the area are stacked up and the Fuling River flows through the area, giving rise to rich natural landscapes such as alpine valleys and primitive forests, especially the Baima Tibetan culture as the core of the humanities, whose unique costumes, songs and dances, and customs attract many tourists. In addition, Pingwu is also the location of the Ming Dynasty's "Deep Mountain Palace", the Repayment Temple, a well-preserved royal temple complex that demonstrates exquisite ancient craftsmanship and is an important object for the study of Ming Dynasty architecture and Buddhist culture. As a place where ecology and culture meet, Pingwu combines natural wildness and humanistic charm, making it an excellent destination for exploring the secret places of Northwest Sichuan.
