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.

Songtao Miao Autonomous County (Songtao for short) is a county under the jurisdiction of Tongren City, Guizhou Province. Founded in 1956, it is one of the earliest autonomous counties approved by the State Council. Located at the eastern foot of Fanjing Mountain, the main peak of the Wuling Mountains, Songtao is located at the junction of Guizhou, Hunan and Chongqing provinces and cities, connected with Huayuan and Phoenix in Hunan, bordered with Youyang and Xiushan in Chongqing, with moderate location and convenient transportation, and is known as the "gateway to eastern Guizhou". In ancient times, there is the name of "connecting Sichuan and Chu, holding down Sanxiang". The county has jurisdiction over 5 streets, 17 towns and 6 townships. The total area is 3409 square kilometers, of which the built area is more than 24 square kilometers. Tongren is the largest county with the largest area, the largest population and the strongest comprehensive strength. In March 2019, it was selected into the list of the first batch of revolutionary cultural relics protection and utilization districts and counties.
