Located in the western part of China's Henan Province, Mianchi County belongs to Sanmenxia City and is situated at the junction of the three provinces of Henan, Jin and Shaanxi, with a total area of 1,421 square kilometers. As the site of the discovery of the Yangshao culture, Mianchi is known as "China's archaeological mecca" and has a history of 7,000 years of civilization.
The discovery of Neolithic ruins in Yangshao Village in 1921 by the Swedish geologist Andersen opened the door to prehistoric archaeology in China. There are historical relics such as Yangshao Culture Museum and Qin-Zhao Alliance Platform in the territory, where Du Fu, Su Shi and other literati have left poems.
Mianchi is an important energy base, with coal reserves amounting to 3 billion tons and bauxite reserves accounting for half of the province's total. Agriculture is characterized by tobacco and pepper cultivation, industry is dominated by alumina, electricity and building materials, and cultural tourism has been actively developed in recent years.
The county is 80 kilometers away from Luoyang Airport, the Longhai Railway, Lianhuo Expressway runs through the whole territory, and 310 National Highway is crisscrossed. Located at the eastern edge of the Loess Plateau, it has a warm temperate continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons and an average annual temperature of 12.4℃.
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.
