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.

Liwan District, Guangzhou Municipal District, is located in the west of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, connected with Yuexiu District in the east, Baiyun District in the north and northwest, and Nanhai District in Foshan City in the west. Liwan, commonly known as "Xiguan", gets its name from "Lizhi Bay", which has a reputation of "a bay of green water and red litchi on both sides of the strait". It is known as "Xiguan", "Lizhi Bay" and "Shuixiu flower fragrance". It has a good reputation of "experiencing Lingnan culture to Guangzhou, but not visiting Liwan". It is one of the three old districts of Guangzhou. During the Ming Dynasty, it was already an important port for China's foreign trade and cultural exchanges. During the Qing Dynasty, it was China's only foreign trade window for more than 100 years. Liwan District is the core area of the central city of Guangzhou and Guangfo metropolitan area, with "first Street and second Road".
