It is the largest city in and seat of Dallas County with portions extending into Collin, Denton, Kaufman and Rockwall counties. With a 2020 census population of 1,304,379, it is the ninth most-populous city in the U.S. and the third-largest in Texas after Houston and San Antonio. Located in the North Texas region, the city of Dallas is the main core of the largest metropolitan area in the southern United States and the largest inland metropolitan area in the U.S. that lacks any navigable link to the sea.[a]

The cities of Dallas and nearby Fort Worth were initially developed due to the construction of major railroad lines through the area allowing access to cotton, cattle and later oil in North and East Texas. The construction of the Interstate Highway System reinforced Dallas's prominence as a transportation hub, with four major interstate highways converging in the city and a fifth interstate loop around it. Dallas then developed as a strong industrial and financial center and a major inland port, due to the convergence of major railroad lines, interstate highways and the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. In addition, Dallas has DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) with different colored train lines that transport throughout the Metroplex.

Dominant sectors of its diverse economy include defense, financial services, information technology, telecommunications, and transportation. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex hosts 23 Fortune 500 companies, the second most in Texas and fourth most in the United States, and 11 of those companies are located within Dallas city limits. Over 41 colleges and universities are located within its metropolitan area, which is the most of any metropolitan area in Texas. The city has a population from a myriad of ethnic and religious backgrounds and one of the largest LGBT communities in the U.S. WalletHub named Dallas the fifth most diverse city in the United States in 2018.

Tengzhou, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province, is hosted by Zaozhuang City. It is adjacent to Shanting District in the east, Xuecheng District in the south, Weishan County in Jining City in the west, and Zoucheng City in the north. It is between 116o 49km east longitude 117o 24km east longitude, 34o 50km north latitude and 35 °17' north latitude, with a total area of 1495 square kilometers. Tengzhou, in ancient times, is the land of the three Kingdoms and Wuyi and the state of prosperous culture. The archaeological excavation of the site of "Beixin Culture" dating back 7300 years shows that it is one of the birthplaces of the earliest civilization of the Chinese nation. Tengzhou is the hometown of Mozi, the founder of craftsmen, Xi Zhong, Meng Changjun and Mao Sui. In addition, during the Zhenguan period, Li Yuanying, the younger brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, was once named King Teng in Tengzhou, Shandong Province, and built a pavilion named "Teng" in Tengzhou.
