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.

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.
