Ningming County, belonging to Chongzuo City of Guangxi, is located at the border between China and Vietnam, and is famous as the "Hometown of Chinese Octagon" and the core area of Huashan Rock Painting Culture. The world cultural heritage of Huashan rock paintings, the mysterious and unique ochre-red cliff paintings of more than 2,000 years ago, show the spiritual world of the Luo and Yue forefathers. The scenery along the Mingjiang River is exquisite, the border is rich in flavor, the Zhuang culture is profound, and the Song Wei Festival on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is bustling with activity every year. As an important county along the border, Ningming has a thriving border trade and produces specialty agricultural products such as star anise and cinnamon, and is one of the gateways connecting China and ASEAN, combining natural scenery, history and culture with border vitality.
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.
