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.

Wanshan District, which belongs to Tongren City, Guizhou Province, is the main urban area of Tongren City. It is dominated by karst karst landforms and belongs to the mid-subtropical monsoon humid climate. In November 2011, the State Council approved the cancellation of Tongren City at the prefecture level and the establishment of Wanshan District. It now covers an area of 842 square kilometers with a total population of 270000 and has jurisdiction over 11 townships (towns and streets). With convenient transportation, Wanshan is an important transportation hub for Sichuan and Chongqing to reach the sea from the east, Shanghai and Hangzhou to the west to Guizhou and Yunnan, Beijing and Tianjin to the south to Guiqiong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to the north to Shaanxi and Gansu. The three expressways of Shanghai, Kunming, Hangzhou and Rui pass through the border. Hunan-Guizhou Railway, Zhu-Liu double Line and Yu-Huai double Line are surrounded by three railways, reaching Tongren Railway Station, Tongren High-speed Railway Station and Zhusha Guzhen Station in 10 minutes, and Dalong, Yuping, Xinhuang Railway Station and Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway Station Tongren in 30 minutes.
