Yingxian County is located in the northern part of Shanxi Province, China, under the city of Shuozhou, on the northeastern edge of the Loess Plateau, with a total area of about 1,708 square kilometers and a population of about 300,000 people. The county has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. It is famous for the Liao Dynasty architectural masterpiece "Yingxian Wooden Pagoda" (Shijia Pagoda of Fogong Temple), which is the world's oldest and tallest existing wooden pagoda on the World Cultural Heritage List. Yingxian's economy is based on agriculture, with crops such as corn and millet in abundance, as well as the development of tourism and building materials. The local climate is temperate and continental, with four distinct seasons, and the transportation is convenient, connecting major cities in Shanxi Province through a network of roads and railroads. Culturally, it retains rich traditional folklore and northern Jin features such as paper-cutting and rice-planting songs.
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.
