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.

Tieshan District, located in the west of Huangshi City, Hubei Province, is rich in mineral resources and is named for its rich iron ore. More than 1700 years ago, the ancestors dug and smelted here. Dongfangshuo studied here in the Han Dynasty; Yue Fei, a national hero, forged the "sword of Daye" here; at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, built China's first large-scale open-pit iron ore, Daye Iron Mine, which was the largest in East Asia at that time. Tieshan became the cradle of China's modern iron and steel industry. Tieshan District Railway connects Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Kowloon two major transport arteries, and National Highway 106 runs through the whole territory. Tourist attractions include Yellowstone National Mining Park, Luzhangshan Park, Tieshan Temple, Huazang Temple and so on. During the 12th five-year Plan period, Tieshan will invest 20 billion yuan to build the "Iron City of the World".
