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.

Fuxin, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province, is located in the low mountain and hilly area of western Liaoning Province. It is the central city in the northwest of Liaoning Province and one of the important cities in Shenyang Economic Zone. The transitional zone between the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the northeast Liaohe Plain is a long rectangle with an oblique axis at the intersection of 42 °10'N and 122 °00'E. It is 170km long from east to west and 84km wide from north to south, with a total area of 10445 square kilometers. The terrain is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, high in the southwest and low in the northeast. It has jurisdiction over five districts and two counties, with a total population of 1.85 million in 2018. Fuxin has a long history and culture. Because the first jade in the world and the first dragon in China were unearthed, it is known as "the hometown of Yulong and the beginning of civilization". Fuxin is the cradle of Qidan nationality, the hometown of Zhang Sanfeng, the guru of Wudang, and the eastern spread of Tibetan Buddhism.
