China travel guide - Liaoning PDF Chapter
History and hedonism run side by side in Liáoníng. Walled Ming-dynasty cities rub up against booming beach resorts, while imperial palaces sit in the centre of bustling modern cities. Nothing quite captures the fun and distinction, however, as much as seaside Dàlián with its golden coastline and summer beer festival, and former battlegrounds where Russian and Japanese armies wrestled for control of the region in the early 20th century.
Coverage includes: Shěnyáng, Dàlián & around, Dāndōng, and Xīngchéng.
