About
About Tieling
Tieling (Chinese: 铁岭; pinyin: Tiělǐng) is one of 14 prefecture-level cities in Liaoning province of the People's Republic of China. Tieling is a city where coal mining is an important industry.
The area has been settled at least since the Shang Dynasty (1700-1027 BCE) and there has been a town here at least since the first year of Kaiyuan of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (713). Under the Republic of China (1911-1949) Fengtian Province was changed to Liaoning Province, and Tieling territory belonged to Liaoning Province. During World War II in China Yang Jingyu led the Communist First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance with a base area in Tieling. Tieling City is located in the northern part of Liaoning Province, in the middle of the Songliao Plain.
