As a base of heavy industry in China, Liaoning has the most comprehensive and dense
railway network of all provinces. It also has an extended highway connection, two
international civil airports and the large Dalian sea port. By plane: The Shenyang Taoxian International Airport has flights to Beijing, Chengdu, Harbin, Changchun, Dalian, Shanghai and Shenzhen, as well as
international flights to Hongkong,
Irkutsk, Osaka, Pyongyang, Seoul.
Dalian also has regular flights to and from cities in Japan and South
Korea, as well as domestic destinations, such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. By railway: Major railways pass Liaoning province including the
Beijing-Harbin Line, Shenyang-Dalian Line, Shenyang-Jilin Line and Shenyang-Dandong Line. Shenyang is conveniently a
railroad junction with many direct trains to and from most major cities, while Dalian is
not so easily reachable from the south as it is set at the southern tip of the Liaoning
Peninsula. By road: Road transport is an alternative means of travel for short
distances - for long routes the roads might not be good enough. The Shenyang-Dalian,
Beijing-Shenyang, Shenyang-Fushun and Shenyang-Dandong (under construction) form the major
provincial road network in Liaoning. By water: Passenger boats connect Dalian port with several coastal
cities in China, such as Weihai and Yantai in Shandong Province, Qinhuangdao or Shanghai. |
