Louisville (/ˈluːivɪl/ (listen) LOO-ee-vil, US: /ˈluːɪvɪl/ (listen) LOO-ə-vəl, locally /ˈlʊvɪl/ (listen) LUUV-əl) is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 28th most-populous city in the United States.[a] Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County, on the Indiana border.

Named after King Louis XVI of France, Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, making it one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachians. With nearby Falls of the Ohio as the only major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, the settlement first grew as a portage site. It was the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system across 13 states.

Today, the city is known as the home of boxer Muhammad Ali, the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, the University of Louisville and its Cardinals, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and three of Kentucky's six Fortune 500 companies: Humana, Kindred Healthcare, and Yum! Brands. Muhammad Ali International Airport, Louisville's main commercial airport, hosts UPS's worldwide hub.

Kangding City has a long and splendid history and culture, is the Sichuan-Tibet throat, the important town of the Tea-Horse Road, and the Tibetan-Chinese intersection center. Since ancient times, it has been the political, economic, cultural, commercial, information center and transportation hub of Kangba Tibetan area. Covering an area of 11600 square kilometers, the city is dominated by Tibetans and inhabited by Han, Hui, Yi, Qiang and other ethnic groups. Comrade Zhu Rongji, former Premier of the State Council, came here with affectionate admiration, calling it "overseas Xianshan, Penglai Holy Land". Kangding is a Chinese name, because the east of Danda Mountain is "Kang", which means Kangdi stability, hence the name. In Tibetan, Kang is defined as "more discounted", meaning the confluence of Daqu (Yala River) and Zuoduo River (folding River). The old history was translated as "frying furnace", and later translated as "arrow furnace", referred to as "furnace city". September 25, 2018, obtained the Ministry of Commerce. "
