Oakland is the largest city and the county seat of Alameda County, California, United States. A major West Coast port, Oakland is the largest city in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, the third largest city overall in the Bay Area and the eighth most populated city in California. With a population of 440,646 in 2020, it serves as the Bay Area's trade center and economic engine: the Port of Oakland is the busiest port in Northern California, and the fifth busiest in the United States of America. An act to incorporate the city was passed on May 4, 1852, and incorporation was later approved on March 25, 1854. Oakland is a charter city.

Oakland's territory covers what was once a mosaic of California coastal terrace prairie, oak woodland, and north coastal scrub. In the late 18th century, it became part of a large rancho grant in the colony of New Spain. Its land served as a resource when its hillside oak and redwood timber were logged to build San Francisco. The fertile flatland soils helped it become a prolific agricultural region. In the late 1860s, Oakland was selected as the western terminal of the Transcontinental Railroad. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, many San Francisco citizens moved to Oakland, enlarging the population, increasing its housing stock, and improving its infrastructure. It continued to grow in the 20th century with its busy port, shipyards, and a thriving automobile manufacturing industry.

Baoshan District, located in the north of Shanghai, is divided into two parts: land and island. On land, it is bordered by the Yangtze River in the northeast, Huangpu River in the east, Yangpu, Hongkou, Jing'an and Putuo in the south, Jiading District in the west, Taicang City in Jiangsu Province in the northwest, and Yunzaobang in the middle of China. Wusong Bridge, Yunchuan Road Bridge, Jiangyang Road Bridge and Tangqiao Bridge span it. The two islands of Changxing and Hengsha lie in the south branch of the Yangtze River Estuary from west to east. They are 56.15km long from east to west and 23.08km wide from north to south, covering an area of 424.56 square kilometers. Located at the confluence of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River, Baoshan can be called the "waterway gateway" of Shanghai. It connects more than 400 ports in 164 countries and regions by sea. The throughput of containers accounts for more than 70% of Shanghai Port.
