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.
Dagbon is a border city in the northern part of Kachin State in Myanmar, neighboring China's Yunnan Province and located in the area of the upper tributaries of the Irrawaddy River, which is one of the important trade routes between China and Myanmar. Famous for its jade mining and processing industry, the area is surrounded by mountainous forests and rich in ecological resources, and is inhabited by Kachin, Lisu and other ethnic minorities, who have retained their traditional tribal cultures and handicraft practices. As a node connecting the interior of Myanmar and Southwest China, Dagbon combines the vitality of border trade with the pristine natural landscape, and in recent years, with the deepening of regional cooperation, economic and cultural exchanges have gradually become more active.
