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.

Lhasa, referred to as "La" for short, is the capital of China's Tibet Autonomous region, an international tourist city with plateau and ethnic characteristics, the political, economic, cultural, scientific and educational center of Tibet, and the holy place of Tibetan Buddhism. Located in the middle of the Tibetan Plateau, north of the Himalayas, 3650 meters above sea level (to prevent endogenous oxygen deficiency), is located in the valley plain of the middle reaches of the Lhasa River, a tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River, which flows through it and flows into the Yarlung Zangbo River in the southern suburbs. Lhasa has sunny weather all year round, with little rainfall, no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer and pleasant climate. The sunshine time of the whole year is more than 3000 hours, which is known as "Sunshine City". Lhasa is rich in all kinds of resources, which has obvious resource advantages compared with other prefectures and cities in the country and the autonomous region.
