Yakima is located in the south-central part of the U.S. state of Washington, and is the county seat of Yakima County. It is located in the heart of the Yakima Valley, about 2.5 hours from Seattle. The city is known as the "Sunshine City", with an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year, and has a well-developed agricultural industry, especially famous for apple, cherry and other fruit cultivation, and is known as the "Apple Capital of the World". The Yakima Valley is also an important wine-producing region in Washington State, with more than 80 wineries, and is highly regarded for its Riesling and Merlot varieties. In addition, outdoor resources are abundant, with Mount Rainier National Park and Sunshine State Park in the vicinity for hiking, fishing and other activities. With a population of about 93,000 and a multicultural blend that preserves the characteristic architecture of the western pioneering period, it is a gateway to explore the culture and nature of Central Washington.
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.
