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.
Songming County is located in the northeastern part of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, China, and is a county-level administrative region under the jurisdiction of Kunming City, which is situated on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau at an altitude of about 1,900 meters above sea level. The area is predominantly agricultural, producing flowers, vegetables and fruits, and is known as the "Breadbasket of Central Yunnan". Songming has a rich history and culture, such as Lanmao's former residence and the Temple of Literature and other monuments, and is also an important transportation hub in Yunnan, adjacent to Kunming Changshui International Airport. In recent years, Songming is actively developing its tourism and green industries with its favorable location and ecological resources.
