Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee) is the capital city of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. It is the second-most populous city in North Carolina, after Charlotte. Raleigh is the tenth-most populous city in the Southeast, the 41st-most populous city in the U.S., and the largest city of the Research Triangle metro area. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of 147.6 sq mi (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau counted the city's population as 474,069 in the 2020 census. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. The city of Raleigh is named after Sir Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County.

Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013. The Raleigh Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.

Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a small portion extending into Durham County. The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

Jinsha County is under the jurisdiction of Bijie City, Guizhou Province. It is located in the northwest of Guizhou Province, east of Bijie City, adjacent to Zunyi to the east, Guiyang to the south, Bijie to the west, and Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone to the north. Located in the Central Guizhou Economic Zone, Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and Pan-Pearl River Delta Economic Circle, Hangzhou-Rui Expressway, Chiwang Expressway and Pan-Guizhou Express Railway straddle the county boundaries. Jinsha is one of the strong economic counties in Guizhou Province, one of the top 100 counties in western China and one of the demonstration counties with the most investment potential in China. Jinsha, formerly known as Drum Xinchang, bought the county in 1941, taking the first word of "Jinbaotun" and "Shaxiba" in the territory as its name, taking its meaning from the ancient saying of "picking gold from sand", which means careful selection, coarsening and refinement. The county has a total area of 2528 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 26 townships (towns, streets) and 241 villages (communities). There are 15 ethnic groups, including Han, Miao and Yi.
