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.
Qimen County is located in the southern part of Anhui Province in China, belonging to Huangshan City, at the junction of Anhui and Jiangxi, and is one of the important birthplaces of Hui culture. It is world famous for the production of Qimen black tea, known as the "hometown of black tea", and its tea culture history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. Qimen's natural scenery is beautiful, with the Gu'niujiang National Nature Reserve and a number of ancient villages, such as Lixi Village, which retains the typical Huizhou architectural style. The economy is dominated by agriculture and tourism, with the black tea industry being a local pillar and driving rural revitalization. Conveniently connected to neighboring cities by road and rail, it is an ideal destination for exploring the ecological and cultural heritage of Southern Anhui.
