Shangyu District is located in the northeastern part of Zhejiang Province, China, under Shaoxing City, on the south coast of Hangzhou Bay, an important node of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle. The district covers an area of about 1,406 square kilometers and has a population of about 780,000 people. Shangyu has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, with a history of more than 2,200 years, and is famous for its "culture of filial piety and virtue", which is said to be the birthplace of Emperor Shun and the story of how Cao'e threw herself into the river to save her father.
Economically, Shangyu is a strong industrial area, focusing on high-end equipment, modern medicine, new materials and other industries, with a number of state-level economic and technological development zones. Agriculture is dominated by rice, aquatic products and specialty fruits, and it is the "Hometown of Chinese Prunes". The transportation is convenient, with the Hangzhou-Ningbo High Speed Railway and the Hukun Expressway running through the city, and Ningbo and Hangzhou are within one hour's drive away.
Famous scenic spots include Cao'e Temple, Shun Keng Park, and the terraced rice fields of Mount Goblet, etc. The climate of four distinct seasons is suitable for eco-tourism. Shangyu has been honored as one of the top 100 industrial districts in China and one of the top 100 districts for science and technology innovation in China, and is a typical Jiangnan city with both historical heritage and modern 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.
