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.

Zhangping (ancient Zhangzhou capital Zhangping County, Ningyang County) is located in the southwest of Fujian Province, in the upper reaches of the Jiulong River (Beixi), between 24 °54 miles north latitude and 117 °11 miles east longitude. It is located in the east gate of western Fujian, Yongchun and Anxi in the east, Hua'an and Nanjing in the south, Silla in the west, Yongan and Datian in the north, Xiamen and other developed coastal areas in southern Fujian. It connects the hinterland of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. Zhangping bought the county in the seventh year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1471), and withdrew the county to build the city in 1990. Zhangzhou Qiang Zhangping dialect is popular in Minnan dialect (some areas such as Xinqiao in Xinan are close to Quanzhou as spring cavities). In 2017, the regional GDP reached 23.256 billion yuan, an increase of 8% over the previous year.
