Tonghua is a border city with rich history, culture and natural resources located in the south-eastern part of Jilin Province, China, at the southwestern foot of Changbai Mountain and across the Yalu River from North Korea. As an important pharmaceutical city in China, Tonghua is known as the "Pharmaceutical Capital" and is home to a number of well-known pharmaceutical companies. With four distinct seasons and abundant snow and ice resources in winter, Tonghua is an ideal destination for skiing and snow tourism. Tonghua is also famous for its wine industry and is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Wine". Surrounded by virgin forests and volcanic landscapes, the city's tourism resources include Goguryeo cultural relics and monuments, and the Wuwu Peak National Forest Park, combining natural scenery with human history. The city is conveniently connected to major cities in and outside of Jilin Province by highways and railroads.
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.
