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.

Luonan County, located in the southeast of Shaanxi Province, belongs to Shangluo City. Located in the south of Huashan, Huayang Pool is set up in Zhou and Huayang County is located in Qin Dynasty. It is 108 kilometers away from Xi'an. It is adjacent to Lushi and Lingbao in Henan to the east, Danfeng and Shangzhou to the south, Huazhou and Lantian to the west, Huayin and Tongguan to the north, and is known as Shaanxi's "southeast gateway". It is the only Yellow River valley county in Shangluo City and the "top ten gold medal walnut counties" in China. The forest coverage rate is above 90%. Luonan is the hometown of Chinese character culture, and the word Shengcangjie created the characters here, so Luonan is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. On August 4, 2018, the Fifth Plenary session of the fourth Shangluo Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China discussed and deliberated the opinions on abolishing the establishment of Huayang District in Luonan County. This work is being submitted to the State Council for approval in accordance with the procedures, which means that Luonan County will withdraw in the future.
