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.

Dongxing District, which belongs to Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, is located in the central and southern part of Sichuan Basin and on the east bank of the middle reaches of the Tuojiang River. Dongxing District is bordered by Rongchang District to the east, Daan District and Longchang City to the south, Shizhong District to the west, and Zizhong County and Anyue County to the north.

Dongxing District was once known as the "Sweet City" because of its rich sugar cane and developed sugar industry, and also known as the "hometown of calligraphy and painting" because of the emergence of the eldest son of Gongsun, the master of traditional Chinese painting Zhang Daqian, Zhang Shanzi, and the "news magnate" Fan Changjiang. At the end of 2019, Dongxing District has jurisdiction over 5 streets and 14 towns.
