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.

Fuzhou, a city under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Province (prefectural level), an important member of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, is located in the east of Jiangxi Province. The administrative area is about 222km from north to south and 169km from east to west, with a total area of 18816.92 square kilometers, accounting for 11.27% of the total area of the province. Fuzhou has jurisdiction over 2 districts and 9 counties, with a total area of 18817 square kilometers and a resident population of 4.0472 million in 2018. Fuzhou is an ancient county on the right side of the Yangtze River, giving birth to celebrities such as Wang Anshi, Tang Xianzu and Zeng Gong. Fuzhou is one of the 20 cities in the economic zone on the west bank of the Taiwan Strait determined by the State Council. It is the first Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone in Jiangxi Province to be included in the national strategic regional development plan and one of the important cities in the former Central Soviet area. Fuzhou has been known as "collar rivers and lakes, control belt Fujian and Guangdong" since ancient times. Fuzhou is a national park.
