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.

Dongxiang District, which belongs to Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, is located in the eastern part of Jiangxi Province. It is located in the transitional zone between the hills of eastern Jiangxi and the Poyang Lake Plain. Dongxiang District, known as the Gandong Portal, was founded in the seventh year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1512). In 2018, it has jurisdiction over 1 street, 9 towns, 4 townships, 3 reclamation farms, 1 forest farm and 1 provincial economic development zone. The total area of the district is 1196 square kilometers, with a total population of 452000, of which the urban population is 220000. Dongxiang District is an important settlement and breeding place of the Jiangyou people. Because most of the area is in the east of Linchuan, it is named Dongxiang. Dongxiang District is 40 kilometers away from Linchuan District of Fuzhou and 96 kilometers away from Nanchang, Shanghai-Kunming Railway, Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, Dongchang Expressway, 320 National Highway and 236 National Highway.
