Located in the southeastern part of Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province, Sandu Water Autonomous County is the only autonomous county of the Water Tribe in China, and is also the birthplace of the culture of the Water Tribe as well as the main settlement. It is also the birthplace of the Shui culture and the main settlement. With the beautiful mountains and the Duliu River passing through the area, it has nurtured a unique Shui culture. The ancient scripts and water books of the Shui people are regarded as the "living fossil" of hieroglyphics, and traditional festivals such as the Duan Festival and the Mao Festival have been passed down for thousands of years, while non-heritage skills such as horsetail embroidery and silver jewelry making are unique. The natural landscapes such as Goyong Mountain and Snowflake Cave in the city are reflected with the villages of the Shui ethnic minority, which is a secret place for experiencing the original ethnic culture and exploring the history of the Shui ethnic minority. Sandu attracts more and more tourists to explore with its deep cultural heritage and beautiful landscape scenery.
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.
