Fresno (/ˈfrɛznoʊ/) is a major city in the San Joaquin Valley of California, United States. It is the county seat of Fresno County and the largest city in the greater Central Valley region. It covers about 115 square miles (300 km2) and had a population of 542,107 in 2020, making it the fifth-most populous city in California, the most populous inland city in California, and the 34th-most populous city in the nation. The Metro population of Fresno is 1,008,654 as of 2022.

Named for the abundant ash trees lining the San Joaquin River, Fresno was founded in 1872 as a railway station of the Central Pacific Railroad before it was incorporated in 1885. It has since become an economic hub of Fresno County and the San Joaquin Valley, with much of the surrounding areas in the Metropolitan Fresno region predominantly tied to large-scale agricultural production. Fresno is near the geographic center of California, approximately 220 miles (350 km) north of Los Angeles, 170 miles (270 km) south of the state capital, Sacramento, and 185 miles (300 km) southeast of San Francisco. Yosemite National Park is about 60 miles (100 km) to the north, Kings Canyon National Park 60 miles (100 km) to the east, and Sequoia National Park 75 miles (120 km) to the southeast.

Fresno is also the third-largest majority-Hispanic city in the United States; 50.5% of its population was Hispanic in 2020. Since 2010, statewide droughts in California have further strained both Fresno's and the entire Central Valley's water security.

Jinsha County is under the jurisdiction of Bijie City, Guizhou Province. It is located in the northwest of Guizhou Province, east of Bijie City, adjacent to Zunyi to the east, Guiyang to the south, Bijie to the west, and Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone to the north. Located in the Central Guizhou Economic Zone, Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and Pan-Pearl River Delta Economic Circle, Hangzhou-Rui Expressway, Chiwang Expressway and Pan-Guizhou Express Railway straddle the county boundaries. Jinsha is one of the strong economic counties in Guizhou Province, one of the top 100 counties in western China and one of the demonstration counties with the most investment potential in China. Jinsha, formerly known as Drum Xinchang, bought the county in 1941, taking the first word of "Jinbaotun" and "Shaxiba" in the territory as its name, taking its meaning from the ancient saying of "picking gold from sand", which means careful selection, coarsening and refinement. The county has a total area of 2528 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 26 townships (towns, streets) and 241 villages (communities). There are 15 ethnic groups, including Han, Miao and Yi.
