Luding County is located in the southeast of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, in the middle reaches of the Dadu River, and is an important transportation hub and a famous historical and cultural county in western Sichuan. Famous for the Red Army's great battle of "Flying over Luding Bridge" in 1935, Luding Bridge, as a national key cultural relics protection unit, has 13 iron cables spanning the Dadu River, carrying the glorious memories of the Chinese Revolution. There is not only a rich red culture here, but also magnificent natural landscape: Gongga Snow Mountains surrounded by peaks, Dadu Canyon is steep and deep, Heluo Gorge glaciers and hot springs, constituting a "majestic, strange, dangerous, steep" landscape scroll. Many ethnic groups live here, Tibetan, Chinese and Yi cultures are intermingled, and specialties such as Luding cold noodles and yak meat jerky are unique, which makes it an ideal destination for experiencing the red culture and the western Sichuan style.
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.
