Columbus (/kəˈlʌmbəs/) is the state capital and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Ohio. With a 2020 census population of 905,748, it is the 14th-most populous city in the U.S., the second-most populous city in the Midwest, after Chicago, and the third-most populous state capital. Columbus is the county seat of Franklin County; it also extends into Delaware and Fairfield counties. It is the core city of the Columbus metropolitan area, which encompasses 10 counties in central Ohio. The metropolitan area had a population of 2,138,926 in 2020, making it the largest entirely in Ohio[a] and 32nd-largest in the U.S.

Columbus originated as numerous Native American settlements on the banks of the Scioto River. Franklinton, now a city neighborhood, was the first European settlement, laid out in 1797. The city was founded in 1812 at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers, and laid out to become the state capital. The city was named for Italian explorer Christopher Columbus. The city assumed the function of state capital in 1816 and county seat in 1824. Amid steady years of growth and industrialization, the city has experienced numerous floods and recessions. Beginning in the 1950s, Columbus began to experience significant growth; it became the largest city in Ohio in land and population by the early 1990s. The 1990s and 2000s saw redevelopment in numerous city neighborhoods, including Downtown.

Yulin, known as "Shangxun" in ancient times, began in the Spring and Autumn and warring States period, flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was stationed in Yansui Town (also known as Yulin Town), an important town on the nine frontiers of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi engraved a stele of "two isolated cities and a thousand years of loyalty and courage". There is a good reputation of "the ancient city of Taichung in the north of South Tower, the sixth floor riding the street all over the world". Such a strange urban construction is rare in China, which is also an important symbol of Yulin as a national historical and cultural city. Yulin is located in the northernmost part of China's Shaanxi Province, at the junction of the Loess Plateau and Maowusu Sandy Land, which is the transitional area between the Loess Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau. Facing the Yellow River and Shanxi Province in the east, Ningxia and Gansu in the west, Yan'an in the south and Ordos in the north, it is the border of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Mongolia and Jin. It has jurisdiction over 2 districts, 1 county-level city and 9 counties, with a resident population of 340
