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.
Weishan County, located in the southwest of Shandong Province, belongs to Jining City, and is situated in the core area of Weishan Lake (the largest freshwater lake in northern China), which is a beautiful place due to the lake and the water. It has a vast expanse of water, rich wetland resources, and 10,000 acres of lotus flowers blooming in summer, forming the unique landscape of "China's Lotus Capital", which is a resort for eco-tourism and bird-watching. Weishan Lake is not only an important hub for the South-to-North Water Diversion, but also carries a profound history and culture - the famous railroad guerrillas once fought here, and the classic melody of "the sun is about to set in the west" sings the red memories of this place. Nanyang Ancient Town and Weishan Lake National Wetland Park in the lake area are attracting tourists from all over the world to experience the charm of "a lake with blue waves reflecting the original heart" by combining natural scenery and humanistic heritage.
