It is a transition zone between the Tibetan Plateau and the Loess Plateau, and is famous for its magnificent natural scenery and diverse cultures.

Menyuan has the world's largest small rapeseed planting area, and in July every year, 10,000 acres of rapeseed flowers form the "Golden Menyuan" spectacle, which is rated as a national 4A-level scenic spot. There are ecological reserves such as Ganshika Snow Peak (5,254 meters above sea level) and Xianmi National Forest Park, which are important habitats for plants and animals in the plateau.

As a multi-ethnic settlement area, Menyuan is dominated by Hui people (about 40% of the total population), preserving rich Islamic culture and traditional folklore. The economy is dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, with rapeseed and barley cultivation and yak breeding as the pillar industries, and ecotourism has been developing rapidly in recent years.

It is about 150 kilometers away from Xining Airport, with Ningwu Expressway and Qinghai-Tibet Railway running through the whole territory. The best travel period is from June to August, and it is recommended to experience rape flower sea sightseeing, plateau hiking and folk culture activities, and pay attention to make preparations for plateau acclimatization.

Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

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.
