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.

Yindu District, which belongs to Anyang City, Henan Province, is located in the northwest of Anyang City. It is the site of the Yin ruins, the world cultural heritage, and the discovery site of the earliest mature character oracle inscriptions in China. The Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and National Highway 107 run through the north and south, and the Huanghe River runs through the east and west. The middle route of the South-to-North Water transfer Project runs through the whole region. It belongs to the continental monsoon climate of the north warm temperate zone. By the end of 2018, Yindu District has jurisdiction over 9 streets, 1 township, a total of 298 administrative villages and 46 communities, with a total area of 687 square kilometers and a resident population of 710000. The district government is stationed at the intersection of Meidong Road and Meiyuan Road. In 2018, the GDP of Yindu District was 33.217 billion yuan, the added value of industries above scale was 10.44 billion yuan, the total retail sales of consumer goods was 10.864 billion yuan, and the general public budget income was 1.825 billion yuan.
