Liaoyang, Liaoning

People's Republic of China

Liaoyang, Liaoning carries 45 connections across 1354 places and 12 topics, with history and military affairs making up the dominant share. In winter 1211, Mongol general Jebe was sent to capture the city, luring its defenders on a feigned retreat of over 100 miles. Russian troops later camped there during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905, burning the ancient Guangyou temple. Its strongest overlaps are with China, Korea, and Beijing, reflecting a corridor at the center of northeastern Asian power struggles across dynasties.
