We observe star formation at multiple physical scales, from >100 pc spiral arm segments to < 0.01 pc individual starless cores. Multi-wavelength continuum and spectral line surveys are used to identify the largest velocity-coherent filaments in the Milky Way, while small-scale observations are made by using interferometers including ALMA, VLA, and SMA. We are also systematically investigating the star formation in the outer Galaxy through SAMPLING, an ESO Public Survey (Wang et al. 2018). With these studies, we tend to bridge local and galaxy-wide star formation. Thus, collaboration is welcome from theorists and observers, regardless of physical scales dealt with.
