Xihua County is located in the eastern part of Henan Province in China, belonging to Zhoukou City, and is situated in the hinterland of the Yellow Plains, which is an important part of the Central Plains Economic Zone. With a total area of 1,194 square kilometers and a population of about 900,000, Xihua County has a predominantly agricultural economy, producing wheat, corn and other grain crops, and is known as the "Breadbasket of East Henan".
Xihua County has a long history and deep cultural heritage, with ancient monuments such as the ruins of Nuwa City, which is said to be the birthplace of the legend of Nuwa Mending Heaven. In recent years, the county has been actively developing its food processing and manufacturing industries, which has resulted in steady economic growth. The county has convenient transportation, with the Zhengzhou-Hefei High Speed Railway passing through the county, connecting Zhengzhou with Hefei and other major cities.

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.
