The Liaodong Peninsula (simplified Chinese:辽东半岛; traditional Chinese:遼東半島; pinyin:Liáodōng Bàndǎo) is a peninsula in Liaoning Province of Northeast China, historically known in the West as Southeastern Manchuria. Liaodong (formerly spelled Liaotung) means "East of the Liao River"; referring to the Liao River which divided the Yan commanderies of Liaoxi (simplified Chinese:辽西; traditional Chinese:遼西) (West of the Liao River) and Liaodong during time of the Warring States period.
