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.

Tieling, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province, is located in the north of Liaoning Province and in the middle of Songliao Plain. The city has a total area of 13000 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 2 municipal districts, 2 county-level cities and 3 counties, with a total population of 2.916 million in 2018. Since 1984, Tieling has sent nearly 600 sports reserve talents to excellent sports teams above the provincial level, including Yan Hong, Lu Gang, Chen Yueling, Sun fuming and Liu Hongyu, who have become world champions. In 2018, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Tieling City reached 61.66 billion yuan, the per capita GDP reached 23428 yuan, the general public budget income reached 5.22 billion yuan, and the per capita disposable income of urban permanent residents reached 24994 yuan, an increase of 7.5 percent over the previous year.
