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.

Babu District, the seat of Hezhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, is the renamed Hexian County and Hezhou City at the original county level. Located in the northeast of Guangxi, it is located at the junction of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces (regions). National Highway 207 and 323 and Guiwu, Guanghe, Yonghe Expressway, Guiyang-Guangzhou Express Railway and Luozhan Railway under construction all meet in eight steps. Babu District has a total area of 3686 square kilometers and a total population of 650000 (2009). It has jurisdiction over 12 townships, 1 Yao township and 3 subdistrict offices.
