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.

Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, which belongs to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, is located on the southwest edge of Sichuan Province, crossing the Yalong River in the east, Gongga Mountain in the west, Jinsha River in the south and Ganzi Prefecture in the north, covering an area of 13000 square kilometers. The average elevation of the county is 3100 meters, with a relative height difference of 4488 meters. Muli County is an autonomous county dominated by Tibetans, including 21 ethnic groups including Yi, Han, Mongolian and Naxi. It is one of the only two Tibetan autonomous counties in the country, with a total population of 130000 in 2013. Muli has an important water conservation forest in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which is one of the few primitive forest areas left in China. Muli has a high tourism taste because of its unique natural landscape and cultural customs, and has great potential to develop eco-tourism and leisure tourism. Muli has been known as the "Golden Kingdom" since ancient times.
