  • Baohe District

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as Washington or D.C. or locally simply as the District, is the capital city and federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and it shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its other sides. The city was named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, and the federal district is named after Columbia, the female personification of the nation. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in the U.S., with over 20 million annual visitors as of 2016.

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district located along the Potomac River near the country's East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district. There have been efforts to make the city into a state since the 1880s, a movement that has gained momentum in recent years, and a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021.

Baohe District, which belongs to Hefei City, Anhui Province, was established in 2002 during the urban zoning adjustment of Hefei. It is located on the north bank of Chaohu Lake, southeast of Hefei, with "five rivers" and "one lake". The region covers an area of 340 square kilometers, of which Chaohu Lake has a surface area of 70 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 8 streets, 2 towns and 1 provincial industrial park. With a resident population of 810000 in 2011, it is the largest area and population of the four urban areas of Hefei. The region brings together more than 30 institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions, including the University of Science and Technology of China and Hefei University of Technology, as well as a number of cultural and sports institutions and places of interest, such as the Provincial Radio and Television Center, the Provincial Library, the Provincial Gymnasium, the Anhui Grand Theater, the China Bao Park, and the former residence of Wei Lihuang. It gets its name from the Baohe scenic spot within its jurisdiction, and it is heard from the hometown of Bao Gong, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty.
