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.

Wuwei, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Gansu Province, is named "China Wine City", referred to as "Yongliang", "Liangliang" and "Yong". It is located in the confluence of the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Mengxin Plateau. The topography is high in the west and low in the east, and the local topography is complex. It belongs to the temperate continental arid climate, which is characterized by four distinct seasons, cold winter and summer. It has jurisdiction over one district, two counties and one autonomous county, with a total area of 33238 square kilometers and a resident population of 1.8253 million in 2017. Wuwei has a long history. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent general Huo to go on an expedition to Hexi to defeat the Xiongnu and named Wuwei for its "martial arts and military prestige". Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the four counties in Hexi, successive dynasties have set up prefectures and mansions here. Wuwei is the key point of the ancient Silk Road, with many places of interest, snowy plateaus and oasis style.
