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.

Tianmen, known as Jingling in ancient times, is a municipality of Hubei Province, an important member of Wuhan City Circle and the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the main node cities in the Han River Basin, located in the middle of Hubei Province and the north of Jianghan Plain, reaching Dahongshan in the north, Hanjiang River in the south and Wuhan in the east.

In 1994, the State Council approved Tianmen City to be directly under the jurisdiction of Hubei Province. In 2018, the city's resident population was 1.2723 million. Tianmen is an important birthplace of world tea culture, the hometown of Lu Yu, the largest hometown of overseas Chinese in the interior, and the hometown of steamed vegetables in China.
