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.
Located in the south of Xing'an League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, Tucuan County is situated in the transition zone from the Daxing'an Mountains to the Songnen Plain, with a total area of about 4,800 square kilometers. It is named after the natural landscape of "spring eyes surging", and is an important agricultural and animal husbandry area and ecological barrier in Inner Mongolia.
There are Tao'er River, Jiao Liou River and other rivers crossing the territory, and grassland and cultivated land are interlaced, forming a unique semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral landscape. Tuoquan County retains a strong Mongolian cultural tradition, while integrating Han farming culture, and organizes national festivals such as the Naadam Congress every year. It is rich in mineral resources, with large reserves of coal and limestone.
Agricultural cultivation, livestock breeding and energy development are the pillars of the economy, and in recent years, it has been vigorously developing the specialty plantation industry and eco-tourism. The main attractions include Sudden Spring National Wetland Park and the ruins of the Great Wall of the Jin Dynasty, etc. The apricot blossom festival in spring and the grassland scenery in fall are especially famous, making it an ideal destination for experiencing the northern border.
