As the southernmost province among the three provinces in Dongbei, Liaoning boasts its superior geographical location on the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Gulf, also as the gateway to Korean Peninsula and facing Japan over the sea.
Along the history, the province is strongly influenced by the minority groups. As early as the 10th century, Qidan people invaded into this region and established Liao Dynasty. Two centuries later, Mongolians powered over and later founded the Yuan Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, Han immigration from south to this region was enforced to enhance the central administration. But such effort did not stop the Ming Dynasty from being wiped out by the again north-grown-up Manchus, who later founded China's last feudal empire. Around the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, Russia first set foot on this land. They built the South Manchurian Railway to facilitate the transport of the output or the raw material of the heavy industry. With the defeating in the Russo-Japanese War, Russians retreated reluctantly and Japanese substituted and dominated over this province, actually almost over Northeast China, by setting a puppet state of Manchukuo. |

This is an ice-free port, rare for a coastal city at such latitude, and it is this factor that has made the port so attractive to invaders both in the past, and to investors in this cosmopolitan city today. ...... |
