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.

Shizong County, a county under the jurisdiction of Qujing City, is a multi-ethnic agricultural county in the mountainous area. It got its name because the tribal leader Shizong led the army to live in Nirongdian (now Xihua Village outside Shizong County) in the Tang Dynasty. Shizong County, located in the southeast of Yunnan Province, is one of the old revolutionary base counties in Yunnan Province. It is bordered by Luoping County in the east, Xilin County in the southeast, Qiubei County in the south, Luxi County in the southwest and Luliang County in the north. As of 2012, Shizong County has jurisdiction over 5 towns and 3 townships, with 99 village committees and 10 communities; the total population is 421335 and there are 35 ethnic minorities living, mainly Yi, Zhuang, Miao, Hui, Yao and so on. On April 30, 2019, the people's Government of Yunnan Province decided that Shizong County should withdraw from the sequence of poor counties.
