Liaoning
Liaoning province, China.
The mountain range that runs along the Liaodong Peninsula is known as the Qian Mountains. This range is part of a larger mountain belt with a southwest-northeast axis that continues into the Changbai Mountains along the border area between Northeast China and North Korea.1
The backbone of the peninsula is formed by a series of parallel mountain ranges composed of ancient granites and shales. These mountains have been weathered into sharp ridges and peaks, with the highest point, Mount Buyun, reaching 3,710 feet (1,130 meters).1
