Liulin County is located in the western part of Shanxi Province, China, under Lvliang City, on the east bank of the Yellow River and across the river from Shaanxi Province. With a total area of 1,288 square kilometers, it has 15 townships under its jurisdiction and a population of about 300,000 people. The county town is about 200 kilometers away from Taiyuan City, which is an important transportation hub and material distribution center in western Jinshi.
Liulin has a long history and is one of the important birthplaces of Jin merchant culture. The local area retains ancient building complexes from the Ming and Qing dynasties, including the famous Xiangyan Temple and Shuangta Temple. With a long history of jujube cultivation, Liulin is known as "the hometown of Chinese jujube", and its traditional jujube processing technology is listed in the provincial intangible cultural heritage. The annual Jujube Cultural Festival attracts a large number of tourists to experience.
As an important energy base in Shanxi Province, Liulin takes the coal industry as the leading industry, and at the same time develops building materials, agricultural and sideline product processing and other industries. In recent years, it has been actively promoting economic transformation, vigorously developing deep processing of jujube, cultural tourism and other specialty industries. The transportation infrastructure is constantly improving, with the Qingyin Expressway and the Tai-Zhongyin Railway passing through the city, providing strong support for economic development.
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.
