Sacramento (/ˌsækrəˈmɛntoʊ/ SAK-rə-MEN-toh; Spanish: [sakɾaˈmento], Spanish for ''sacrament'') is the capital city of the U.S. state of California and the seat and largest city of Sacramento County. Located at the confluence of the Sacramento and American River in Northern California's Sacramento Valley, Sacramento's 2020 population of 524,943 makes it the sixth-largest city in California and the ninth-largest capital in the United States. Sacramento is the seat of the California Legislature and the Governor of California, making it the state's political center and a hub for lobbying and think tanks. It features the California State Capitol Museum.

Sacramento is also the cultural and economic core of the Greater Sacramento area, which at the 2020 census had a population of 2,680,831, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in California.

Before the arrival of the Spanish, the area was inhabited by the historic Nisenan, Maidu, and other indigenous peoples of California. Spanish cavalryman Gabriel Moraga surveyed and named the Río del Santísimo Sacramento (Sacramento River) in 1808, after the Blessed Sacrament. In 1839, Juan Bautista Alvarado, Mexican governor of Alta California, granted the responsibility of colonizing the Sacramento Valley to Swiss-born Mexican citizen John Augustus Sutter, who subsequently established Sutter's Fort and the settlement at the Rancho Nueva Helvetia. Following the American Conquest of California and the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, the waterfront developed by Sutter began to be developed, and incorporated in 1850 as the City of Sacramento.

Liaoyuan City, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province, is located in the central and southern part of Jilin Province, located in the upper reaches of the East Liao River and Huifa River. It is named because the East Liao River originated here, with a geographical outline of "five mountains, one water and four fields". The urban built-up area covers an area of 46 square kilometers. It accounts for 2.8% of the total area of the province. It has jurisdiction over Dongfeng and Dongliao counties, Longshan and Xi'an, with a total population of 1.1724 million. Liaoyuan has a long history and rich cultural heritage. There have been human activities since the Bronze Age, which is one of the important birthplaces of the Manchu. It was designated as the royal "Shengjing paddock" in the Qing Dynasty. After the lifting of the ban in 1902, the county system was established and upgraded to a prefecture-level city in 1983. In 2017, Liaoyuan City achieved a regional GDP of 66.865 billion yuan, with an annual per capita GDP of 55.
