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.

The Uyghur pronunciation of Wushi is "Wushi Turpan". It is paraphrased as 3 Turpan, if it refers to its rich land, the free translation is appropriate. However, according to the Western region Tongwen Chronicles: "Hui Wu Shi is Wu Chi, Gai Shan Shi is prominent, the old name of the city living on the mountain", which is consistent with the historical place names since the Song and Yuan dynasties. The "Turpan" in the latter part of Uyghur pronunciation may be related to the emigration from Turpan in the Qing Dynasty. First, Wushi is a Turkic language, meaning "the top of things", which gets its name from Wuchi Mountain in the territory. Wushi County is located in the western Aksu region of Xinjiang, the northwest margin of the Tarim Basin, the southern foot of the southern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and the upper reaches of the Toshkan River, with geographical coordinates ranging from 78 °23 °41 "to 80 °01 °09" east longitude and 40 °43 °08 "to 41 °51 °12" north latitude.
