Minneapolis (/ˌmɪniˈæpəlɪs/ (listen)) is the largest city in Minnesota, United States, and the county seat of Hennepin County. The city is abundant in water, with thirteen lakes, wetlands, the Mississippi River, creeks and waterfalls. Minneapolis has its origins in timber and as the flour milling capital of the world. It occupies both banks of the Mississippi River and adjoins Saint Paul, the state capital of Minnesota.

Prior to European settlement, the site of Minneapolis was inhabited by Dakota people. The settlement was founded along Saint Anthony Falls on a section of land north of Fort Snelling; its growth is attributed to its proximity to the fort and the falls providing power for industrial activity. As of 2021[update], the city has an estimated 425,336 inhabitants. It is the most populous city in the state and the 46th-most-populous city in the United States. Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the surrounding area are collectively known as the Twin Cities.

Minneapolis has one of the most extensive public park systems in the US; many of these parks are connected by the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. Biking and walking trails, some of which follow abandoned railroad lines, run through many parts of the city; such as the Mill District in the Saint Anthony Falls Historic District, around the banks of Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake Harriet, and by Minnehaha Falls. Minneapolis has cold, snowy winters and hot, humid summers. Minneapolis is the birthplace of General Mills, Pillsbury Company, and the Target Corporation. The city's cultural offerings include the Guthrie Theater, the First Avenue nightclub, and four professional sports teams.

Longhai City (ancient Longxi County and Haicheng County) is located at the mouth of the Jiulong River in the south of Fujian Province. In February 1960, Longxi and Haicheng County organs moved to Shima Town Joint Office from downtown Zhangzhou and Haicheng respectively; in August, Longxi and Haicheng counties were merged into Longhai County. In June 1961, three production brigades of Tianbao and Punan communes in Longhai County, three production brigades of Jiuhu Commune, one production brigade of Buwen Commune and the back room farm were assigned to Zhangzhou City (now Xiangcheng District). It was identified as the first batch of coastal open counties by the state in 1985, and was removed from the county to set up cities in 1993. In 1996, the two towns of Guokeng and Buwen (except Wupu and Changzhou villages) were set up under the jurisdiction of Longwen District. In 2012, Jiaomei Town was designated to establish Zhangzhou Taiwan Investment Zone, which is separately managed by Zhangzhou City. The total area of the city is 1128 square meters.
