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.

Dongguan, one of the prefecture-level cities under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province, one of the central cities of the Pearl River Delta and one of the cities of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, is a central city on the east coast of the Pearl River Delta approved by the State Council. By 2018, the city had jurisdiction over 4 streets and 28 towns, with a land area of 2460.1 square kilometers, a sea area of 82.57 square kilometers, a resident population of 8.3922 million, and an urban population of 7.6386 million, with an urbanization rate of 91.02%. Dongguan is located in the central and southern part of Guangdong Province, the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary, Guangzhou in the northwest, Shenzhen in the south and Huizhou in the northeast. Dongguan is the first of the "four little tigers of Guangdong" and is known as the "factory of the world". It is also one of the five prefecture-level cities without districts and one of the new first-tier cities in the country. Dongguan established a county during the period of the three Kingdoms.
