Quick Summary

Liaoxi was a former province in northeastern China, specifically in southern Manchuria, bordering the Gulf of Liaodong. It existed from 1948 to 1954, with its capital in Chin-chou (Jinzhou).1

During the period of 1947 to 1954, the territory that is now Liaoning province was divided into two parts: Liaoxi in the west and Liaodong in the east. In 1954, these were reestablished as a single province, Liaoning, which took its name from the Liao River that flows through the region. The name "Liaoning" roughly translates to "Liao Peace". The historical region has precedents for these names dating back to the Han dynasty.2
