Liao-Yang
1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
or Resource Toolbox
A city of China, formerly the chief town of the province of Liao-tung or Sheng-king (southern Manchuria), 35 m. S. of Mukden. It is situated in a rich cotton district in the fertile valley of the Liao, on the road between Niuchwang and Mukden, and carries on a considerable trade. The walls include an area about 1 m. long by m. broad, and there are fairly extensive suburbs; but a good deal even of the enclosed area is under cultivation. The population is estimated at ioo,000. Liao-yang was one of the first objectives of the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese War, and its capture by them resulted in some of the fiercest fighting during the campaign, from the 24th of August to the 4th of September 1904.
