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.

Xiangxiang is 22 kilometers north of Shaoshan and 80 kilometers east of Changsha. Xiangxiang is a provincial civilized city, provincial sanitary city and provincial garden city. Xiangxiang, home to the county in 3 BC, is the birthplace of the Hunan army and the hometown of great men. On March 6, 1987, Xiangxiang County was officially changed into Xiangxiang City. "since ancient times, there has been an army without Hunan, and the Xiang army from all over the world has come out of Xiangxiang." Xiangxiang once "gathered a group of talents with a hundred miles of land, maintained the overall situation with the power of one army" and "conquered 18 provinces with the soldiers of one county". After more than half a century, Xiangxiang has written a heavy brushstroke in the modern history of China. As of 2016, Xiangxiang covers a total area of 1967 square kilometers
