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.
Yucheng, a county-level city in Dezhou City, Shandong Province, is located in the northwestern plains of Shandong Province, with the Yellow River's old course running through its entire territory, and is named "Yucheng" after Dayu's achievements in water control. This thousand-year-old city has a long history and a profound Dayu culture, and the ruins of the Yuwang Pavilion bear witness to the ancient wisdom of water control. As the "Functional Sugar City of China", Yucheng is an important R&D and production base of functional sugar in the world, and occupies an important position in the field of health food, with the biotechnology industry as its mainstay. Yucheng is also a national experimental area for sustainable development, combining the vitality of modern agriculture with the charm of ecological livability, and the Yellow River ecological corridor with beautiful scenery is a unique window to appreciate the fusion of Qilu culture and Yellow River civilization.
