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.

Turpan, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, located in the middle of the autonomous region, is an olive-shaped intermountain basin in the east of Tianshan, surrounded by mountains on all sides, belonging to a typical continental warm temperate desert climate; it has jurisdiction over one district and two counties with a total area of 69713 square kilometers and a total population of 637300 in 2017.

Lanxin Railway and Nanjiang Railway meet here and form a three-dimensional transportation system of "highway, railway and aviation" with Turpan airport and G30 line.
