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.
Qiaocheng is located in the northwestern part of China's Anhui Province, and is the political, economic and cultural center of Bozhou City, which is situated at the southern end of the North China Plain and has a warm-temperate semi-humid climate.

The local specialty Gujing Tribute Wine is one of the eight most famous wines in China, and the relics of the Three Kingdoms, such as Cao Cao's military road, have been listed as national key cultural relics protection units.In 2023, Qiaocheng District's GDP will exceed 50 billion yuan, and it will have formed an industrial system centered on traditional Chinese medicine, liquor, and agricultural products processing.
The transportation network covers the main lines such as Shanghehang High Speed Railway and Jiguang Expressway, and is about 2 hours' drive from Hefei Xinqiao International Airport. The green coverage rate of the urban area is 38.5%, and the Eddy River passes through the city to form an ecological corridor, which has been evaluated as a national ecological civilization construction demonstration area in recent years.
