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.

Zhaotong, a municipal administrative district under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province, is located in the northeast of Yunnan Province, at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, along the lower reaches of the Jinsha River, and in the excessive uplift zone from Sichuan Basin to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The topography of Zhaotong is high in the south and low in the north, with the lowest elevation of 267m (Shuifu County) and the highest elevation of 4040 m (Qiaojia County), with a total area of 23021 square kilometers. Zhaotong has jurisdiction over 10 counties and 143 townships (offices) in District 1 (Zhaoyang District). At the end of 2010, the total population was 5.213 million, including 542000 from 23 ethnic minorities, including Miao, Yi and Hui. In history, Zhaotong is an important gateway from Yunnan Province to Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, and an important channel for Central Plains culture to enter Yunnan. One of the three major birthplaces of Yunnan culture (Zhaotong Kunming, Dali), known as Xiao Kunming, is a Chinese work.
