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.
Shangshui County is located in the southeastern part of Henan Province, west of Zhoukou City, in the hinterland of the East Henan Plain, with the Shaying River passing through the territory, adjacent to Zhoukou city center, which is an important node connecting the eastern part of Henan Province with the northern part of Anhui Province. It has a long history and is one of the important birthplaces of Chenchu culture. Within its territory, there are historical relics such as Shou Sheng Temple Pagoda (an ancient pagoda of the Song Dynasty) and Ye's Manor (a residential complex of the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty), which have a deep cultural heritage. As an advanced county in national grain production, Shangshui produces wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops, and is an important base for commercial grain and high-quality agricultural products in Henan Province. In recent years, it has continued to promote agricultural modernization, develop food processing, textile and other industries, and actively integrate into the Zhoukou economic development circle based on its location advantages, which is characterized by both agricultural characteristics and humanistic charms.
