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.

Jindong District, established in February 2001, now has jurisdiction over eight towns, one township and two streets, with a total area of 658.19 square kilometers and a population of 361500. It is located in Jinqu Basin in central Zhejiang, between Jinhua and Yiwu, west of Jinhua City, east of Yiwu, south of Yongkang and Wuyi, and north of Lanxi. It is not only the core area of the urban agglomeration of central Zhejiang and Jinyi City, but also an important node of Jinyi Golden Spindle. The transportation network of Jindong is well developed, with the double track of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, Jinwen Railway, National Highway 330 and Provincial Highway 03 running through the whole territory. Hangzhou-Jinzhou-Quzhou Expressway, Jinliwen Expressway and Yong-Jin Expressway all have interchange ports in the area, and high-grade highways in the region account for more than 40%. The level is on a par with that of developed countries.
