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.
Located in the southwest of Guizhou Province, Zhenfeng County belongs to the Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in southwest Guizhou, and is a Buyei settlement area with rich ethnic customs and unique karst landscape. The landmark attraction "Double Breasted Peak" is known as "the first strange peak in the world", which is a symbol of geological wonders and female worship culture. The Beipanjiang Grand Canyon is majestic and steep, and the Sanqiao River Scenic Spot integrates landscape, countryside and Buyi villages, constituting the tourism business card of "Landscape Picture Scrolls - Humanistic Zhenfeng". The culture of the Buyi people here is profound, and traditional festivals such as "March 3" and "June 6" are bustling with activity, while non-heritage skills such as batik and embroidery have been passed down for thousands of years. Zhenfeng glutinous rice, Zhenfeng pepper and other specialties have unique flavors, attracting tourists from all directions. As an important node of tourism in southwest Guizhou, Zhenfeng is becoming an excellent destination for experiencing Guizhou's ethnic minority customs with its unique charm of blending nature and humanity.
