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.

Xiangxiang City, located in the middle of Hunan Province, a county-level city in Hunan Province, is under the jurisdiction of Xiangtan City, a city in central and central China, the hometown of Hunan Army, and an important town in Chunan, which was called "Dragon City" in ancient times. Xiangxiang is 22 kilometers north of Shaoshan and 80 kilometers east of Changsha. Xiangxiang is a provincial civilized city, provincial sanitary city and provincial garden city. Xiangxiang, home to the county in 3 BC, is the birthplace of the Hunan army and the hometown of great men. On March 6, 1987, Xiangxiang County was officially changed into Xiangxiang City. "since ancient times, there has been an army without Hunan, and the Xiang army from all over the world has come out of Xiangxiang." Xiangxiang once "gathered a group of talents with a hundred miles of land, maintained the overall situation with the power of one army" and "conquered 18 provinces with the soldiers of one county". After more than half a century, Xiangxiang has written a heavy brushstroke in the modern history of China. As of 2016, Xiangxiang covers a total area of 1967 square kilometers
