Portland (/ˈpɔːrtlənd/, PORT-lənd) is a port city in the Pacific Northwest and the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon. Situated at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, Portland is the county seat of Multnomah County, the most populous county in Oregon. As of 2020, Portland had a population of 652,503, making it the 26th-most populated city in the United States, the sixth-most populous on the West Coast, and the second-most populous in the Pacific Northwest, after Seattle. Approximately 2.5 million people live in the Portland metropolitan statistical area (MSA), making it the 25th most populous in the United States. About half of Oregon's population resides within the Portland metropolitan area.

Named after Portland, Maine, the Oregon settlement began to be populated in the 1840s, near the end of the Oregon Trail. Its water access provided convenient transportation of goods, and the timber industry was a major force in the city's early economy. At the turn of the 20th century, the city had a reputation as one of the most dangerous port cities in the world, a hub for organized crime and racketeering. After the city's economy experienced an industrial boom during World War II, its hard-edged reputation began to dissipate. Beginning in the 1960s, Portland became noted for its growing liberal and progressive political values, earning it a reputation as a bastion of counter-culture.

Diebu County, under the jurisdiction of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, is located in the alpine canyon between Xiyanmin and Dieshan mountain systems in the Qinling Mountains, at the junction of Ganchuan on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Zhuoni in the north, Zhouqu in the east, Hadapu in Dangchang in the northeast, and Ruoergai County and Jiuzhaigou County in Sichuan in the southwest. It has a total area of 5108.3 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 5 towns and 6 townships. In 2017, there were 54000 permanent residents, including Tibetan, Hui, Mongolian and other ethnic minorities. Diebu County was called "Diezhou" in ancient times, which means "thumb" in Tibetan and was called the place where the mountain gods "pressed" it. There are revolutionary sites such as the "Russian Boundary Conference" of the Red Army during the long March, the former residence of Chairman Mao in Zirina, and the Natural Insurance Battle of Lazikou. In addition, there are also Majiayao cultural sites and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. September 25, 2018
