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.

Zhangping (ancient Zhangzhou capital Zhangping County, Ningyang County) is located in the southwest of Fujian Province, in the upper reaches of the Jiulong River (Beixi), between 24 °54 miles north latitude and 117 °11 miles east longitude. It is located in the east gate of western Fujian, Yongchun and Anxi in the east, Hua'an and Nanjing in the south, Silla in the west, Yongan and Datian in the north, Xiamen and other developed coastal areas in southern Fujian. It connects the hinterland of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. Zhangping bought the county in the seventh year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1471), and withdrew the county to build the city in 1990. Zhangzhou Qiang Zhangping dialect is popular in Minnan dialect (some areas such as Xinqiao in Xinan are close to Quanzhou as spring cavities). In 2017, the regional GDP reached 23.256 billion yuan, an increase of 8% over the previous year.
