Nashville is the capital city of the U.S. state of Tennessee and the seat of Davidson County. With a population of 689,447 at the 2020 U.S. census, Nashville is the most populous city in the state, 21st most-populous city in the U.S., and the fourth most populous city in the southeastern U.S. Located on the Cumberland River, the city is the center of the Nashville metropolitan area, which is one of the fastest growing in the nation.

Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. Nashville seceded with Tennessee during the American Civil War; in 1862 it was the first state capital in the Confederacy to be taken by Union forces. After the war, the city reclaimed its position and developed a manufacturing base.

Since 1963, Nashville has had a consolidated city-county government, which includes six smaller municipalities in a two-tier system. The city is governed by a mayor, a vice-mayor, and a 40-member metropolitan council; 35 of the members are elected from single-member districts, while the other five are elected at-large. Reflecting the city's position in state government, Nashville is home to the Tennessee Supreme Court's courthouse for Middle Tennessee, one of the state's three divisions.

Baoshan District, located in the north of Shanghai, is divided into two parts: land and island. On land, it is bordered by the Yangtze River in the northeast, Huangpu River in the east, Yangpu, Hongkou, Jing'an and Putuo in the south, Jiading District in the west, Taicang City in Jiangsu Province in the northwest, and Yunzaobang in the middle of China. Wusong Bridge, Yunchuan Road Bridge, Jiangyang Road Bridge and Tangqiao Bridge span it. The two islands of Changxing and Hengsha lie in the south branch of the Yangtze River Estuary from west to east. They are 56.15km long from east to west and 23.08km wide from north to south, covering an area of 424.56 square kilometers. Located at the confluence of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River, Baoshan can be called the "waterway gateway" of Shanghai. It connects more than 400 ports in 164 countries and regions by sea. The throughput of containers accounts for more than 70% of Shanghai Port.
