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.

Longli County, which belongs to Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, is located in the hinterland of central Guizhou, the middle part of Miaoling Mountains, and the northwest of Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. The hills, low mountains, Zhongshan and river valleys are arranged alternately in the north and south, and the county seat is 1080 meters above sea level. It is bordered by Guiding County and Fuquan County to the east, Huishui County to the south, and Guiyang City to the west and north. It belongs to the humid climate of subtropical monsoon with an annual average temperature of 14.8 ℃. At the end of 2012, the total population of the county was 224266, including Han, Buyi, Miao and other ethnic groups, including 91754 ethnic minorities. The famous scenic spots in the county are Longjiashan Forest Park and Guanshan. In September 2018, the people's Government of Guizhou Province agreed to withdraw Longli County from the poverty-stricken county.
