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.
Qing County is located in the north of Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, China, in the core area of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area, with a total area of 968 square kilometers and a population of about 400,000 people. As the northern gateway of Cangzhou, Qingxian County has an excellent geographical location and convenient transportation, with the Bohai Sea to the east, Baiyangdian to the west, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through the whole territory.
Qing County has a long history and is the hometown of Ji Xiaolan, a famous writer in the Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 1,500 years of city building. The local area retains the cultural remains of the Grand Canal and traditional folk activities. The economy is dominated by equipment manufacturing, food processing (the Yangjiao crispy melons of Qingxian County are famous nationwide), and modern service industry, and it is the largest production base of electronic chassis in China and an important cosmetic industry agglomeration area in the north.
Qingxian County is actively integrated into the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei synergistic development, and has built a provincial-level economic development zone and an agricultural science and technology park. In recent years, it has vigorously developed facility agriculture and eco-tourism, and has been awarded the titles of "National Garden County" and "National Greening Model County", with the Canal Ecological Landscape Belt and Pangu Wetland Park becoming regional ecological highlights.
