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.

Lingyuan is located in the west of Liaoning Province, hosted by Chaoyang City at the prefecture level. Named after the birthplace of the Daling River, it is located at the confluence of Liaoning, Hebei and Inner Mongolia provinces (regions). It is an important traffic contact city connecting the two major urban agglomerations of Beijing and Shenyang and connecting the hinterland of Inner Mongolia and the coastal port. It is 435 kilometers away from Shenyang, 371 kilometers away from Beijing and 150 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao. Lingyuan is a part of the hills and mountains of western Liaoning, with vertical and horizontal gullies and overlapping mountains. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The city has a total area of 3278 square kilometers and a population of 651000 (2016). It has jurisdiction over 9 townships, 13 towns and 8 streets. In 2018, Lingyuan achieved a full-caliber regional GDP of 15.58 billion yuan in 2018, an increase of 0.2% over 2015 at comparable prices. Niuheliang Red found in its territory
