Main Rivers and Waterways of Liaoning Province :
The central part of Liaoning consists of low lying plains through which run a number of rivers. The Main Rivers of Central Liaoning Province are the Liao He' - which gives its name to the Province, The Daliao He' and their tributaries.
The Liao River originates as two streams, one that runs from the extreme North-West from Inner-Mongolia AR to the Center of the Province, and one, the eastern stem, that rises from low mountains in central Liaoning and is known as the Dongliao He (=Eastern Liao River).
Two more Rivers, Hun He and Taizi He, join the Liao River in the Manchurian Plain near Shenyang and eventually the Liao River runs to the Coastline near Yingkou and into the Bohai Sea.
In the East the Yalu River runs down southward from the Changbai Shan Mountain Range and through Sup'ung Lake and water reservoir to the Dandong City on the Coast, forming a natural border with the Nation of North-Korea (D.P.R.K.).

History of Liaoning Province
Back to Top of Page !
In the 19Th Century during the Colonial Era the North-East of China was hotly contested among various Nations. Although at first the Qing Dynasty of China managed to have its influence felt, after the Fall of the Feudal Dynasty and the Revolution of 1911 AD the Region slowly but surely fell out of Chinese control.
By 1896 AD the first Sino-Japanese war had already defeated the Ching Dynasty in the North-East and afterwards the Russians and Japanese were left to contest the Korean Peninsula and Manchuria, including Liaoning.
The Chinese Port of Lushun (south of Dalian) on the extreme end of the Liaodong Peninsula was an attractive open water part and had been extorted from China as a treaty port open to all Nationalities since the year 1860 AD and the second Opium War.
Not much later it was claimed by Russia as the base of its Pacific Fleet.

During the beginning of the 20Th Century much of Manchuria including the territories of today's Liaoning Province were under the control of either the Russian Military and leadership, or under control of Japan. With the humiliating defeat of Russia in the Russo-Japanese War (10 February 1904 AD – 5 September 1905 AD) Japanese influence over the Three North-Eastern Provinces known as Manchuria won out over any Russian efforts. Not long after, around the year 1910 AD the Japanese Army defeated the Ching Dynasty Army at Pyongyang driving China from the Korean Peninsula. In the ensuing period the Japanese Army entered Liaoning in attempt to grab control of all of Korea as well as Manchuria. Thus the entire North-East was annexed by the Japanese Empire, turning it eventually into the Puppet State of Manchukuo and starting a reign of terror and destruction that would last until the final Japanese Capitulation in 1945 AD. By that Time the Russian Army had belatedly joined the fight against Japan in the East, now easily claiming Manchuria and the Northern part of the Korean Peninsula as its "spoils of war".

During the Civil War that actually lasted throughout the anti-Japanese War and immediately flared upon the news of the Japanese Surrender (August 8, 1945 AD), the North-Eastern Provinces became the scene of the lengthy North-Eastern Campaign. With its base area's in Inner-Mongolia and mountainous area's of Hebei as well as Jilin, the Communist Army eventually won out, driving the Kuomintang National Armies of Generalissimo Chiang-Kai Chek (Jing Jishie) gradually southward. in May of 1949 AD a make-shift Victory

By the end of 2005 AD, the total population of Liaoning Province 42.4 million persons and rising. As in the rest of China
many people are drawn from the country-side into the main cities of the Province in search of jobs, better lives and education, expecting to raise the urbanization rate to over 63% of the Total. Between 2006 and 2010 the province expects to have 10 cities with a population of 200,000 to 500,000, and 10 more smaller cities with a population of 100,000 to 200,000.
The Largest City in Liaoning Province is Shenyang with roughly 7.2 million citizens closely followed by Dalian as the second largest city with 5.9 million inhabitants. Anshan is the third largest city in the Province. Dandong City on the North Korean border measures only roughly 2.4 million souls. Among the smaller cities in Liaoning Province are Fushun - north-east and near Shenyang, Jinzhou, Xingcheng and Yixian.
Economy of Liaoning Province :
Liaoning was one of the first provinces in China to industrialize. At the very beginning in the 1890's there was the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway with its Chinese Southern Branch named the South-Manchurian Railway connecting from Haerbin down south to Shenyang and Dalian and Porth Arthur in the extreme south. At first the mining sector and logging dominated the industries and transportation within the Manchurian Territories.
Later however, under Japanese occupation more and more industries were set up, mainly based on the raw materials provided by the exploration of Manchuria.
After the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China large and ambitious 5 fear programs were launched by the Party and agreed on by the Peoples Parliament and Standing Committee turning the North towards a dive on heavy Industrialization. First established in the 1950s and entrenched by the 1960s, North- East China and Liaoning Province became the Center of China's Heavy Steel and related Industries. As one result the city of Anshan is home to one of the largest iron and steel complexes in China.
After the downfall of communism worldwide and the so called opening-up policy that was introduced in 1985 AD, the inefficient heavy industries of the North have seen huge challenges. Profitably became the key word as large groups of workers were quietly layed off and industries privatized and transformed.
Although some major industries remain essentially in state hands and subsidized, those factories that have managed to modernize now rank among the top producers in the Nation.

In recent years this early focus on heavy industry has become a liability, as many of the large state-run enterprises have experienced economic difficulties. Recognizing the special difficulties faced by Liaoning and other provinces in north-east China because of their heritage of heavy industry, the Chinese central government launched a "Revitalize the Northeast" Campaign in 2003 AD seeing massive infra-structure projects to unlock various cities and regions, reaping some success creating local jobs, industry and overall development of the Region. The securing of natural gas supplies vital for the national economy has been an important factor in this revitalisation program.
Liaoning Province is currently ranked the eighth province in China when it comes to economic productivity in terms of GDP.

The Highlights and Scenic Spots of Liaoning Province are truely too many to mention. Dependingon taste, their is the modern City of Dalian - the Hong Kong of the North and naturally the Capital of Shenyang, for those seeking the City high-life. Those in need of a holiday on the Beach best refer to coastal cities on either the Liaodong Peninsula or along the South-Western coastline of the Province.
Mainstays of Tourism in Liaoning are the former Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace a sprawling estate located in the old quarters of the City of Shenyang.

The much appraciated sites of the Province are mainly located in the East, where Fenghuan Shan and Tiger Mountain carry the Great Wall of China along their ridges. The Ultimate East Terminus of the Great Wall of China outermost layer starts with the beacon tower atop the Tiger Mountain then winds west through Liaoning and around Shenyang City to disappear over the Nulu'Erhu Mountains in Western Liaoning Province into Inner-Mongolia Autonomous Region where it ends somewhere far North-East of Hohhot in the Gobi Desert.

Holy Mountains in Liaoning amount to mere Hills, but there are two options to chose from. The Qian Shan, which is easily accesible from Anshan City, and the Fenghuan Shan, which lies at some distance traveling Wset out of Dandong City on the North Korean Border and near the Yellow Sea Coastline.
The highest Mountain in Liaoning Province is Mount Huabozi - HuaBozi Shan, which with a mere 1336 Meters announces the more Northernly Changbai Shan Mountain Range.

Although there are some Ethnic Minority Members and their communities to be found in Liaoning Province, the main communities of the Manchu Nationality lie just across the Border inside Jilin Province near Siping City and in Yitong Manchu Autonomous County of Siping Prefecture.

Main Highways in Liaoning Province :
Main Railroad connections through the Province run from North to South but there are many more train tracks available throughout this well-connected Province.
The main North-South line was first created in the early 1900's as a convenient connection between the newly constructed Trans-Siberian Railway to the North in Russia and the warm water harbor (open water year round) of Lushun k'ou (Port Arthur) in the South at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. It became known in history as the South Manchurian Railway.
The construction of this railroad for the first time opened up these vast and remote lands to travel and industrial size transport, creating new cities and settlements along its length. In the following century, the Manchurian region - with especially Liaoning would see an unprecedented economic boom, terrible suffering and wars over its natural riches and an influx of new migrants, Chinese and Foreign alike. What remains is history and a vast network of railroads criss-crossing Liaoning Province.
To be precise: the South-Manchurian Railway runs

from Harbin in Heilongjiang Province far in the North through Changchun in Jilin Province to Shenyang and then Dalian in Liaoning Province.

Apart from the Main South-Manchurian Railway running from Siping Border City with Jilin Province in the North to Dalian Port City in the South, There are two more main railroad branches traversing the province.

The second of main railroad-branches in Liaoning Province is another historic line constructed in the early 20Th Century. This Line runs from Tianjin City Province in the South-West across the border into Liaoning Province and on to Shenyang (Mukden). From Shenyang the railroad then turns South-Eastward to connect through Benxi and Fengcheng to Dandong on the border with North-Korea. Those with a valid Visa and passport can continue on the Line to Pyongyang, the Capital of North Korea. Historically the line continues even further, through Seoul to Ch'Ongju where it split up to travel to Pusan or Kwangju and Mokp'o. However since 1949 AD the line through North-Korea has been closed. Continued tensions on the Korean Peninsula have made travel impossible for the foreseeable future.

A Third main railway line in Liaoning Province runs from Shenyang to the North-West through Fushun to Haihekou on the Border with Jilin Province and then onwards. In Jilin Province the line cuts through the central province passing the towns of Meihekou and Panshi to either connect to Jilin City or Dunhua in North-Eastern Jilin.
To be precise: the stations in this line inside Liaoning Province include Suizhong and Huludao on the Coast of the Bohai Sea in Liaoning Province, Jinzhou, Xinmin and Shenyang. Then Fushun and Haihekou.

More, local railway lines connect various cities across the Province. Especially the Western Province has its own local network, with inter-connections between Chaoyang and neighboring cities and towns. Rails from Chaoyang connect Westward to Jianping and onwards, East to Beipiao and through to Fuxin or Jinzhou, etc. In the south Dalian is locally connected to Lushun, Jinzhou and then Pikou on the Gulf of Korea.

China Report - Colonialism - Growth of Colonies & Japan after 1801 AD
A Map drawing of the Eurasian continent , parts of North-East Africa and the Middle East in the 19Th Century between 1801 AD and 1900 AD. Focal points are the expansion of western colonial posessions of Portugal, Britain and France, as well as  Russia moving from West to East. Labeled seperately is the later Rise of the Empire of Japan in the East.
Included in this Map are the main cities across the continent with their brief histories and events during the 19Th Century. Marked in Colors for clarity are the various colonial and imperialist Nations. As relating to China; special attention is payed to so called Treaty Ports. The First Treaty Ports were forced open by Britain in the year 1841 AD, but counted over 80 in total by the end of the 19Th Century. The most important Treaty Ports in China are marked and described with a short history where the map allows.
Map China and Far East Colonies after 1801 AD
Parade was held for Chairman Mao Zedong upon the Taking of Beijing, after which soon no option was left to the so called National Government to take up its priced possessions and flee to the Island of Taiwan (Taiwan remains de facto independent from mainland China (PRC) today).

Liaoning did not exist prior to 1954 AD. When the People's Republic of China was founded on October 1st of 1949 AD there were two provinces called Liaodong and Liaoxi existing along with a variety of City Provinces such as Shenyang, Luda, Anshan, Fushun and Benxi.
In this period, the Korean War or conflict (1950-53 AD) occurred and the North-Eastern Provinces, especially what is now Liaoning Province, became the target of the American airforce interdicting Chinese supply lines that supported the North Korean Army and Chinese Volunteers (CVA) in the field on the Korean Peninsula. In this period many railway yards throughout the region were attacked from the air, and starting the 2nd of November of 1950 AD, the American airforce - first with the P51 Mustang later with the F-86 Sabre Jet Aircraft - was in a continued battle for control of the skies above the province.
The airspace over the flow of the Yalu Border River with North Korea would become world renowned as "Mig Alley".

Effective in 1954 AD all these territories, Liaodong and Liaoxi plus independent cities were merged to form Liaoning Province.

A Year later, in 1955 AD, the current day Province became complete when Parts of the former Rahe province were added to Liaoning Province. Although Liaoning Province annexed parts of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region during the politically tumultuous days Cultural Revolution (1960/63 AD to 1976 AD). These sections have been returned to the Mongolian People and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, reversing what was obviously an ill inspired idea.

Many new roads and highways have been constructed in Liaoning Province since roughly the year 2000 AD. Currently the main feature is a ring of highways encircling the City of Shenyang. Nearby cities of Xinmin, Tieling, Fushun, Benxi and Liaoyang are connected through highway arms extending from this circle.
Main directions of the Liaoning Province road network consist of direct highway connections to the South-West and to the South-East. The south-west link leads from Shenyang, the Provincial Capital in Central Liaoning Province through the province to the coastal city of Qinhuangdao in the extreme south-west, just across the provincial border in Hebei Province. From there it connects through to either Beijing (Hebei Province), or via Tangshan to the coastal City Province of Tianjin (Hebei Province).
The South-East highway link leads from Shenyang to Liaoyang, Anshan to Haicheng and Gaixian. Between the last to cities an interconnection exist leading along the coastline to connect up with the South-West main highway route above the Coastal City of Jincheng.
From the City of Gaixian, a highway leads around the Liaoning Peninsula, following the Coastline and passing Jingxian and Zhuanghe' after which it leads to its end at Dandong City on the North Korean Border.
The third arm extending from Shenyang, leads directly through Benxi and Fengcheng to Dandong City in the extreme south-east. The 4Th arm and last main highway route leads roughly northwards out of Shenyang to lead to Changchun in Jilin Province. This branch travels through Tieling and Kaiyuan in Liaoning and Siping City in Jilin Province.
