Located in the western part of Fujian Province, China, Longyan is a regional center city at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Gan provinces. As a famous old revolutionary area and a major settlement of Hakka people, Longyan is rich in red culture and Hakka traditions. The city's hilly terrain, high forest coverage and beautiful ecological environment make it known as the "Green Treasure of Fujian".
Longyan's economy is characterized by resource-based industries, with the Zijinshan Gold and Copper Mine famous throughout the country, as well as the development of machinery manufacturing, new materials and cultural and tourism industries. The transportation is convenient, with quick access to coastal cities such as Xiamen and Fuzhou via high-speed rail and highways. The city is rich in tourism resources, including world heritage sites such as Fujian Tulou (Yongding), the Danxia landform of Guanzhi Mountain and the former site of the Gutian Conference, among other well-known attractions.
As an important birthplace of Hakka culture, Longyan retains unique Hakka language, food and folk activities, attracting a large number of tourists every year to experience the original Hakka flavor.
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.
