Albuquerque (/ˈælbəkɜːrki/ (listen) AL-bə-kur-kee; Spanish: [alβuˈkeɾke]),[a] abbreviated ABQ, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of New Mexico. Its nicknames, The Duke City and Burque, both reference its founding in 1706 as La Villa de Alburquerque by Nuevo México governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdés. Named in honor of the Viceroy of New Spain, the 10th Duke of Alburquerque, the city was an outpost on El Camino Real linking Mexico City to the northernmost territories of New Spain.

Located in the Albuquerque Basin, the city is flanked by the Sandia Mountains to the east and the West Mesa to the west, with the Rio Grande and bosque flowing from north-to-south. According to the 2020 census, Albuquerque had 564,559 residents, making it the 32nd-most populous city in the United States and the fourth largest in the Southwest. It is the principal city of the Albuquerque metropolitan area, which had 916,528 residents as of July 2020, and forms part of the Albuquerque–Santa Fe–Las Vegas combined statistical area, which numbers 1,162,523 as of January 2020.

Albuquerque is a hub for technology and media companies, historic landmarks, and the fine arts. The city is known for hosting the University of New Mexico, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the Gathering of Nations, the New Mexico State Fair, as well as for its diverse restaurant scene, which features both New Mexican cuisine and cuisines from around the world.

Tieshan District, located in the west of Huangshi City, Hubei Province, is rich in mineral resources and is named for its rich iron ore. More than 1700 years ago, the ancestors dug and smelted here. Dongfangshuo studied here in the Han Dynasty; Yue Fei, a national hero, forged the "sword of Daye" here; at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, built China's first large-scale open-pit iron ore, Daye Iron Mine, which was the largest in East Asia at that time. Tieshan became the cradle of China's modern iron and steel industry. Tieshan District Railway connects Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Kowloon two major transport arteries, and National Highway 106 runs through the whole territory. Tourist attractions include Yellowstone National Mining Park, Luzhangshan Park, Tieshan Temple, Huazang Temple and so on. During the 12th five-year Plan period, Tieshan will invest 20 billion yuan to build the "Iron City of the World".
