Nestled in coastal southeast North Carolina, Wilmington is a city that pulses with life and versatility, making it the eighth-most populous city in the state. The city proudly exhibits a 1.75-mile Riverwalk, a prominent tourist attraction which was pronounced as the "Best American Riverfront" by readers of USA Today in 2014. Known for its "Coast Guard City" status given by the U.S. Congress, Wilmington was also recognised as the country's first World War II Heritage City.

Tantalising attractions such as the illustrious USS North Carolina battleship and the enriching Cape Fear Museum of History and Science are firm favourites amongst travellers. Often dubbed as 'Hollywood East', Wilmington’s EUE/Screen Gems Studios stand as the largest domestic facility outside California, with popular films such as Iron Man 3 and TV shows like Dawson's Creek being shot here.

Wilmington's history is as profound as it is moving. The city, founded in the 1730s, was initially the largest city in North Carolina until it lost its status to Charlotte in 1910. Despite setbacks brought by racial conflicts, the city rose resiliently, and today, it flourishes with a vibrant community and a diverse cultural narrative.
