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.

Maguan County is a county under the jurisdiction of Wenshan Prefecture, which integrates frontiers, nationalities, poverty and mountainous areas. In 1913, it was renamed because it had the same name as Anping County, Guizhou Province. Maguan County is located in the southeast of Yunnan Province, connected with Malipo County in the east, across the Panlong River from Xichou County, bordered by Lao Street in Vietnam, Hsin Ma Street, Huangshu Street and Mengkang in the south, adjacent to Hekou and Pingbian counties in Honghe Prefecture in the southwest, and Wenshan County in the north. As of 2017, Maguan County covers an area of 2767 square kilometers, with nine towns, four townships and one farm under its jurisdiction, with a border length of 138km. It has a resident population of 379600, of which 190900 are from 11 ethnic minorities, accounting for 49.8 per cent of the total population. September 25, 2018, obtained
