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.

Qindu District, which belongs to Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, is located in the hinterland of Guanzhong Plain and the western half of Xianyang City. The surrounding area is bordered by Xi'an, Chang'an District, Fengyi District, Xingping City, Liquan County and Weicheng District, between 108 °37mm east longitude 108 °45km and 34 °18km north latitude 34 °26'. The region is 28.5 kilometers long from north to south and 21 kilometers from east to west, with a total area of 259 square kilometers. Qindu District, named after the establishment of the capital here by the Qin Dynasty, China's first multi-ethnic feudal dynasty, was once the heart of China. The ancient Silk Road took the capital of Qin as the first post station, and the new Eurasian Continental Bridge still used the capital of Qin as an important transportation hub. In 2018, Qindu District had jurisdiction over 12 streets with a resident population of 351000, achieving a GDP of 382. 5%.
