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.

Yulin, known as "Shangxun" in ancient times, began in the Spring and Autumn and warring States period, flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was stationed in Yansui Town (also known as Yulin Town), an important town on the nine frontiers of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi engraved a stele of "two isolated cities and a thousand years of loyalty and courage". There is a good reputation of "the ancient city of Taichung in the north of South Tower, the sixth floor riding the street all over the world". Such a strange urban construction is rare in China, which is also an important symbol of Yulin as a national historical and cultural city. Yulin is located in the northernmost part of China's Shaanxi Province, at the junction of the Loess Plateau and Maowusu Sandy Land, which is the transitional area between the Loess Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau. Facing the Yellow River and Shanxi Province in the east, Ningxia and Gansu in the west, Yan'an in the south and Ordos in the north, it is the border of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Mongolia and Jin. It has jurisdiction over 2 districts, 1 county-level city and 9 counties, with a resident population of 340
