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.

Lhasa, referred to as "La" for short, is the capital of China's Tibet Autonomous region, an international tourist city with plateau and ethnic characteristics, the political, economic, cultural, scientific and educational center of Tibet, and the holy place of Tibetan Buddhism. Located in the middle of the Tibetan Plateau, north of the Himalayas, 3650 meters above sea level (to prevent endogenous oxygen deficiency), is located in the valley plain of the middle reaches of the Lhasa River, a tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River, which flows through it and flows into the Yarlung Zangbo River in the southern suburbs. Lhasa has sunny weather all year round, with little rainfall, no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer and pleasant climate. The sunshine time of the whole year is more than 3000 hours, which is known as "Sunshine City". Lhasa is rich in all kinds of resources, which has obvious resource advantages compared with other prefectures and cities in the country and the autonomous region. As the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities in China, La
