Shenyang is situated in the center of the Liaoning province.
Shenyang is the most important center for trade, industry and culture in the northeast of China. It is an important engineering center and has chemical and textile works.
History
Over 2000 years ago, at the time of the western Han (206 BC-AD 24) Shenyang (under the name of Honcheng) was already one of the greatest cities in northeastern China. It has been known under its present name since the Yuan era (1271-1368), perhaps because of the military importance it gained three hundred years before that as the stronghold of the Liao dynasty.
