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.

Jinsha County is under the jurisdiction of Bijie City, Guizhou Province. It is located in the northwest of Guizhou Province, east of Bijie City, adjacent to Zunyi to the east, Guiyang to the south, Bijie to the west, and Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone to the north. Located in the Central Guizhou Economic Zone, Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and Pan-Pearl River Delta Economic Circle, Hangzhou-Rui Expressway, Chiwang Expressway and Pan-Guizhou Express Railway straddle the county boundaries. Jinsha is one of the strong economic counties in Guizhou Province, one of the top 100 counties in western China and one of the demonstration counties with the most investment potential in China. Jinsha, formerly known as Drum Xinchang, bought the county in 1941, taking the first word of "Jinbaotun" and "Shaxiba" in the territory as its name, taking its meaning from the ancient saying of "picking gold from sand", which means careful selection, coarsening and refinement. The county has a total area of 2528 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 26 townships (towns, streets) and 241 villages (communities). There are 15 ethnic groups, including Han, Miao and Yi.
