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.
Zhenglan Banner is located in the central part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the southern part of Xilingol League, which is famous as the hometown of "Yuan Shangdu", and also the location of the World Heritage Site of Yuan Shangdu. Located at the southern edge of the Hunsandak Sandy Land, with vast grasslands, dense forests and clear lakes, rich in ecological diversity, it is a typical Mongolian settlement, preserving the pure nomadic culture of the grasslands. Every summer, when the grass and water are abundant, the herdsmen will organize the traditional "Naadam" conference, wrestling, horse racing, archery and other folk activities, attracting many tourists to experience. As one of the birthplaces of the Mongol Yuan culture, Zhenglanqi not only carries a profound historical heritage, but also becomes a bright pearl on the Inner Mongolian grassland with its magnificent natural scenery and unique ethnic customs.
