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.

Wanshan District, which belongs to Tongren City, Guizhou Province, is the main urban area of Tongren City. It is dominated by karst karst landforms and belongs to the mid-subtropical monsoon humid climate. In November 2011, the State Council approved the cancellation of Tongren City at the prefecture level and the establishment of Wanshan District. It now covers an area of 842 square kilometers with a total population of 270000 and has jurisdiction over 11 townships (towns and streets). With convenient transportation, Wanshan is an important transportation hub for Sichuan and Chongqing to reach the sea from the east, Shanghai and Hangzhou to the west to Guizhou and Yunnan, Beijing and Tianjin to the south to Guiqiong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to the north to Shaanxi and Gansu. The three expressways of Shanghai, Kunming, Hangzhou and Rui pass through the border. Hunan-Guizhou Railway, Zhu-Liu double Line and Yu-Huai double Line are surrounded by three railways, reaching Tongren Railway Station, Tongren High-speed Railway Station and Zhusha Guzhen Station in 10 minutes, and Dalong, Yuping, Xinhuang Railway Station and Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway Station Tongren in 30 minutes.
