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.
Xiangfen County is part of Linfen City, Shanxi Province, China, and is located in the Jinnan region, on the east bank of the lower reaches of the Fen River. The county has a long history and is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese civilization, famous for the Tao Temple ruins, known as the "Capital of Emperor Yao", and archaeological discoveries have shown that a highly developed prehistoric culture existed more than 4,000 years ago. Xiangfen is rich in agricultural resources, producing wheat and corn, while industry is dominated by coking and metallurgy. Local cultural heritages include Dingcun Ruins and Pujing Temple, while folk activities such as paper-cutting and shadow plays are also characteristic. Conveniently located on the Danyun Expressway and the South Tongpu Railway, economic development focuses on the upgrading of traditional industries and the integration of culture and tourism.
