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.
Zijin County is located in the eastern part of Guangdong Province, in the middle reaches of the Dongjiang River, belonging to Heyuan City, and is an important ecological barrier in the Dongjiang Basin as well as a place of Hakka cultural inheritance. It is an important ecological barrier in the East River Basin and a place of Hakka cultural inheritance. It belonged to the Methodist Prefecture in ancient times and was established in the first year of the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty (1567). As a key old revolutionary area in Guangdong, the Dongjiang Column once carried out anti-Japanese activities here, and there are abundant red sites such as the old Soviet government. The topography of the county is predominantly mountainous and hilly, with high forest coverage, producing agricultural products such as tea, oil tea and rice, and mineral resources such as tungsten, iron and limestone. In recent years, relying on ecological and red resources, rural tourism has been developed, with the Yulinmen Hot Spring and the cluster of revolutionary sites in the Soviet Union becoming special attractions, and folk culture such as Hakka songs and dragon lantern dances being passed down to the present day, which has both natural and humanistic charms.
