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.

The geographical location is superior, known as the "north-south thoroughfare" and "the south of the Yangtze River to rush" in ancient times. it is now the political, economic, cultural, transportation and trade center of Zhuzhou City, the "window" and "gateway" of Zhuzhou City in the north, Zhuzhou County in the south, Tianyuan District in the west and Hetang District in the east. The Beijing-Guangzhou and Shanghai-Kunming railway lines meet here. National highways 320 and 1815 cross the territory. The national special passenger and freight stations-Zhuzhou Railway Station, Zhuzhou 1000-ton wharf of Hunan Airlines, and the Xiangjiang River Bridge connecting Hedong-Hexi are all located in the area. It is only one hour away from the provincial capital Changsha and Huanghua airport. In 2013, the GDP of the whole region was 25.32 billion yuan, an increase of 11.8% over 2012, of which the primary, secondary and tertiary industries increased.
