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.

Yueyang, known as "Baling" and "Yuezhou" in ancient times, is under the jurisdiction of prefecture-level cities in Hunan Province. The second largest economy, the core member of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the regional deputy central city of Hunan Province. The city was founded in 505 BC and got its name because the original prefecture was located in the south of Mufu Mountain in Tianyue. It is a famous cultural city with a long history of more than 2500 years. Located on the bank of Dongting Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, along with the Yangtze River, the three Xiangsi Rivers and the confluence of rivers and lakes, it is not only the north-south east-west traffic road in China and the first important place for the opening of the State Council along the Yangtze River, but also an important regional central city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the first gateway city in Hunan.
