Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is located on the banks of the Vltava River in Central Bohemia and is known as the "City of a Thousand Towers" and the "City of a Hundred Towers", with a thousand-year history. As one of the oldest cities in Central Europe, Prague was once an important capital of the Holy Roman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its Old Town and Castle District are listed as World Heritage Sites. The city's Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture, and landmarks such as Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock and the Old Town Square attract visitors from all over the world. It is not only the cradle of literature and music (Mozart composed here), but also a blend of romantic and literary flavor, strolling through the stone streets, as if traveling through time and space, feel the weight of history and cultural intermingling.
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.
