Prepare to step back in time as you enter this ancient city with an incredible history that spans over 2400 years. Liaoyang was once the majestic capital of Liaodong province and played a significant role in the Waring States Period. Can you believe it? It witnessed the rise and fall of the Late Jin Dynasty, and an imperial palace was even erected here in 1621. But that's just the beginning of the story. Sadly, Nurhachi, the visionary leader, eventually decided to relocate the capital to Shenyang, leaving behind remnants of the once glorious palace. However, Liaoyang will forever be remembered for its valiant spirit, as it became the stage of the intense Battle of Liaoyang during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904. Fast forward to the modern era, Liaoyang may have been overshadowed by its larger neighbors, Shenyang and Anshan. Nevertheless, this city has not lost its significance and remains a vital hub of Liaoning province. Discover its hidden gems and uncover the secrets of its past!
