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.
Wanrong, Shanxi Province is located in the southwestern part of Shanxi Province, on the east bank of the Yellow River, known as Fenyin in ancient times, which is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. With a long history and deep cultural heritage, it is known as the "Chinese Laughing City" and is famous for its humorous "Wanrong Jokes", which have become a treasure of folk culture. In the territory of the Lone Mountain Gate for the Tang Dynasty remains, the Li family compound is an outstanding representative of Jin business architecture, a blend of northern and southern architectural style, showing the wisdom of Jin merchants. Wanrong is also characterized by the unique landscape of the high loess slopes and the Yellow River farming civilization, and the "Houtu Culture Festival" held every year carries on the ancient custom of sacrificing to Houtu. Nowadays, this small city on the Yellow River is relying on cultural heritage and ecological resources to attract more people to explore the charm of the Yellow River civilization.
