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.

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.
