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.

Kuerle City (Korla), the prefecture-level administrative capital of Bayingoleng Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang, is located in central Xinjiang, the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, the northeast edge of Tarim Basin, the Tianshan tributary in the north and the Taklimakan Desert, the second largest desert in the world in the south. It is the throat of the ancient Silk Road and one of the birthplaces of Western culture. It is not only an important transportation hub and material distribution center in southern and northern Xinjiang, but also an important political, economic and cultural center in the region. "Korla" means "overlooking" in Uyghur language, because it is rich in the world-famous "Korla fragrant pear", also known as "Pear City". Korla is the first "national civilized city" in the five northwestern provinces (evaluated on January 23, 2009). In February 2015, it was confirmed by the Central Commission of Civilization that the "National Civilization City" would continue to be retained.
