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.

Baoshan, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province, is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, bordering Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture and Lincang City in the east, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in the north, Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in the west, and Myanmar in the northwest and due south. The border is 170km long and covers a total area of 19600 square kilometers, of which mountain and semi-mountainous areas account for about 92 per cent. Baoshan, located in the middle of western Yunnan, is a necessary place for China to go to South Asia, Southeast Asia and even European countries. Tengchong is one of the important birthplaces of modern industry and commerce in Yunnan. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and most areas in the territory have a subtropical monsoon climate. Lignite reserves and geothermal resources are very rich. It is the largest small-grain coffee planting base in the world and the largest horseradish, Dendrobium, walnut and safflower Camellia oleifera planting base in the country.
