Houston (/ˈhjuːstən/ (listen); HEW-stən) is the most populous city in Texas, the most populous city in the Southern United States, the fourth-most populous city in the United States, and the sixth-most populous city in North America, with a population of 2,304,580 in 2020. Located in Southeast Texas near Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is the seat and largest city of Harris County and the principal city of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which is the fifth-most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States and the second-most populous in Texas after Dallas–Fort Worth. Houston is the southeast anchor of the greater megaregion known as the Texas Triangle.

Comprising a land area of 640.4 square miles (1,659 km2), Houston is the ninth-most expansive city in the United States (including consolidated city-counties). It is the largest city in the United States by total area whose government is not consolidated with a county, parish, or borough. Though primarily in Harris County, small portions of the city extend into Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties, bordering other principal communities of Greater Houston such as Sugar Land and The Woodlands.

The city of Houston was founded by land investors on August 30, 1836, at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou (a point now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city is named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had won Texas's independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of Allen's Landing. After briefly serving as the capital of the Texas Republic in the late 1830s, Houston grew steadily into a regional trading center for the remainder of the 19th century.

Jingjiang City, referred to as "Jing" for short, is located in eastern China, the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, near the Jingjiang River, facing the river in the east, west and south, facing Jiangyin and Zhangjiagang in the south and southeast, adjacent to Rugao in the east and Taixing in the northwest. It is a new port industrial city in Jiangsu Province, with 54 kilometers of high-quality Yangtze River shoreline and convenient land and water transportation. The geographical location of Jingjiang is "strangling the gate of the river and sea and defending the whole Wu", so it is called "Jingjiang". "Jing" means stability and peace, and "Jiang" is because it is close to the Yangtze River, which means that Jingjiang is a city by the river. Jingjiang has been listed as an open area by the State Council and joined the Southern Jiangsu Torch Belt, which has become an important "bridgehead" for the Shanghai Pudong Development Zone and the Southern Jiangsu Torch Belt to radiate and extend to northern Jiangsu. Jingjiang is a first-class and powerful city north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, leading the counties and cities in northern Jiangsu. Jing
