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.
Qianshan, located in the southwestern part of Anhui Province, at the southeast foot of Dabie Mountain, belonging to Anqing City, is the former capital of the ancient state of Anhui, and has the reputation of "the source of Anhui, the ancient capital of the state of Anhui, the hometown of Erqiao, the ancestor of Peking Opera, and the hometown of Huangmei". It has a long history, with ancestors living and working in the Neolithic Age, and was once the capital of the state of Anhui during the Spring and Autumn Period, with a deep cultural heritage. Tianzhu Mountain, as a national 5A scenic spot, stands in the northwest of the city, with the main peak at an altitude of 1,489.8 meters, with strange peaks, rocks, caves and canyons all over the place, which is known as "the first mountain in Jianghuai", and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had sealed it as "Nanyue". Qianshan is also the hometown of Cheng Changgeng, the originator of Peking Opera, the beauty of the Three Kingdoms, the size of Qiao, one of the important birthplaces of Huangmei Opera, the mulberry paper production techniques, Qianshan Huizhou Opera and other non-heritage culture is inherited here.
