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.

Luchun County is under the jurisdiction of Honghe Prefecture. Formerly known as "six villages", when the county was founded in 1958, Zhou Enlai personally named it Lvchun according to the characteristics of "green mountains and green waters, like spring all the year round". Luchun County is located in the south of Yunnan Province, in the southwest of Honghe Prefecture, bordering Yuanyang and Jinping counties in the east, Honghe County in the north, Mojiang County in the northwest, Lixianjiang County and Jiangcheng County in the southwest, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the southeast. It is 312 kilometers away from the estuary border port and 132 kilometers away from the Jinshui River port. The provincial highway S214 passes through the county seat. By the end of 2012, Luchun County covers an area of 3096 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over one town and eight townships; the registered population is 233249, and the population of ethnic minorities is 230161, accounting for 98.7% of the registered population.
