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.

Panlong District, which belongs to Kunming City, Yunnan Province, one of the four main urban areas of Kunming, is located in the northeast of Kunming, connected with Guandu District in the east and south, Songming County and Fumin County in the north and Wuhua District in the west. Named for the fact that the Panlong River runs through the whole territory from north to south, Panlong District had ancient human activities as early as 30,000 years ago. As far back as the Neolithic Age, it has become a place for human beings to thrive. In 1928, the Kunming Municipal Government Office was changed to the Kunming Municipal Government, and the Kunming municipal system was formally established. Before 2012, it was the seat of the Kunming Municipal people's Government. The resident population of Panlong District is 809881 (the data of the sixth national census), the annual average temperature is 14.9 ℃, the extreme maximum temperature is 31.5 ℃, and the extreme minimum temperature is-7.8 ℃.
