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.
Yongjing County is located in the central part of Gansu Province and the northern part of Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in China, which is in the transition zone between Loess Plateau and Tibetan Plateau, and the Yellow River passes through the county, which is famous for its water and scenery. There are the Bingling Temple Grottoes, a World Heritage Site, and the thousand-year-old grottoes built in the Western Qin Dynasty, with 216 existing niches and more than 800 statues, which are the treasures of the "Grotto Art Corridor". The Liujiaxia Reservoir, an important water conservancy hub on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, is located here, where the high gorges and flat lakes contrast with the Danxia landforms, forming the unique landscape of "high gorges and flat lakes, blue water and mountains". The area is inhabited by Han, Hui, Baoan, Dongxiang and other nationalities, with multiculturalism and rich folk customs. Relying on the Yellow River culture, grotto art and ecological resources, Yongjing has become a tourist destination integrating grotto exploration, Yellow River sightseeing and folklore experience, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore the blending marks of the Silk Road and Yellow River civilization.
