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.

Eryuan County is one of the counties under the jurisdiction of Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is located in the north of Dali City, the source of Erhai Lake. With a land area of 2875 square kilometers, it is an ethnic minority county inhabited by 24 ethnic groups, including Han, Bai, Yi, Hui, Dai and Lisu, with a total population of 320400 at the end of 1999. Because of its rich natural resources, Eryuan is praised as "land of fish and rice", "hometown of plum", "hometown of dairy cows", "hometown of hot springs", "hometown of orchids", "hometown of plateau water" and "hometown of suona". On September 29, 2018, Eryuan County was approved to withdraw from the poverty-stricken county after being studied by the Yunnan provincial party committee and provincial government.
