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.

Wuxue City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Huanggang City, Hubei Province, China, is an important part of Wuhan city circle and a port city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The city has a total area of 1246 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 12 towns and 342villages (communities), with an area of 500000 mu of arable land and a total population of 830000. Wuxue City is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains and the edge of eastern Hubei. It has always been the "thoroughfare of three provinces and seven counties" in the adjoining areas of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi. Wuxue City, formerly known as Guangji County, was called "the Kingdom of Buddha" in ancient times, meaning "wide application of Buddhist dharma and universal aid to sentient beings". In 1987, with the approval of the State Council, the county was withdrawn and the city was established. Wuxue City has Wuxue Port, one of the ten deepwater ports on the Yangtze River, where the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, China's longest railway, and the entrance and exit of Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, the longest highway in China, meet here.
