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.

Leishan County, which belongs to Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province, is located in the southwest of Qiandongnan Prefecture, bordering Taijiang, Jianhe and Rongjiang counties in the east, Sandu Shui Autonomous County in Southern Guizhou Buyi Miao Autonomous Prefecture in the south, Danzhai County in the west and Kaili City in the north. It is between 10755 miles east longitude and 108 degrees 22 kilometers east longitude, 26 degrees 02 miles north latitude and 26 degrees 34 degrees north latitude, with a total area of 1218.5 square kilometers. Leishan County has a long history, and its Miao construction, costumes, customs, songs and dances, musical instruments and crafts still retain traditional, ancient and authentic cultural connotations. Leishan County is known as the cultural center of the Miao nationality and is a living textbook of Miao history and culture. The main tourist scenic spots in the territory are the hometown of Chinese folk art, the national key cultural relic protection unit Lang de Shangzhai, and the first village of the Miao nationality in China.
