Baltimore (/ˈbɔːltɪmɔːr/ BAWL-tim-or, locally: /bɔːldəˈmɔːr/ bawl-da-MOR or /ˈbɔːlmər/ BAWL-mər) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maryland, fourth most populous city in the Mid-Atlantic, and the 30th most populous city in the United States with a population of 585,708 in 2020. Baltimore was designated an independent city by the Constitution of Maryland[a] in 1851, and today is the most populous independent city in the United States. As of 2021, the population of the Baltimore metropolitan area was estimated to be 2,838,327, making it the 20th largest metropolitan area in the country. Baltimore is located about 40 miles (64 km) north northeast of Washington, D.C., making it a principal city in the Washington–Baltimore combined statistical area (CSA), the third-largest CSA in the nation, with a 2021 estimated population of 9,946,526.

Prior to European colonization, the Baltimore region was used as hunting grounds by the Susquehannock Native Americans, who were primarily settled further northwest than where the city was later built. Colonists from the Province of Maryland established the Port of Baltimore in 1706 to support the tobacco trade with Europe, and established the Town of Baltimore in 1729. The first printing press and newspapers were introduced to Baltimore by Nicholas Hasselbach and William Goddard respectively, in the mid-18th century.

The Battle of Baltimore was a pivotal engagement during the War of 1812, culminating in the failed British bombardment of Fort McHenry, during which Francis Scott Key wrote a poem that would become "The Star-Spangled Banner", which was eventually designated as the American national anthem in 1931. During the Pratt Street Riot of 1861, the city was the site of some of the earliest violence associated with the American Civil War.

Fuxin, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province, is located in the low mountain and hilly area of western Liaoning Province. It is the central city in the northwest of Liaoning Province and one of the important cities in Shenyang Economic Zone. The transitional zone between the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the northeast Liaohe Plain is a long rectangle with an oblique axis at the intersection of 42 °10'N and 122 °00'E. It is 170km long from east to west and 84km wide from north to south, with a total area of 10445 square kilometers. The terrain is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, high in the southwest and low in the northeast. It has jurisdiction over five districts and two counties, with a total population of 1.85 million in 2018. Fuxin has a long history and culture. Because the first jade in the world and the first dragon in China were unearthed, it is known as "the hometown of Yulong and the beginning of civilization". Fuxin is the cradle of Qidan nationality, the hometown of Zhang Sanfeng, the guru of Wudang, and the eastern spread of Tibetan Buddhism.
