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.

Huinong District, which belongs to Shizuishan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous region, is located at the northernmost end of Ningxia, bordering the Yellow River in the east, Helan Mountain in the west and Wuhai City in Inner Mongolia in the north. It is the north gate of Ningxia, between longitude 106.70 °- 106.80 °east and latitude 39.20 °- 39.30 °north. As of August 2019, Huinong District has jurisdiction over 3 towns and 3 townships, with a total population of 200000 people and a total area of 1254 square kilometers. Huinong, derived from the name appointed by Emperor Yongzheng for Huinong Canal, contains the meaning of giving benefits to the people. Qin is under the jurisdiction of Beidi County. In April 2004, the Shizuishan District of Shizuishan City and Huinong County were abolished and Huinong District was established. The geomorphology of Huinong District is composed of three units: Helan Mountain hilly land, alluvial inclined plain and Yellow River alluvial plain.
