Línjiāng

Linjiang lies on the northern bank of the upper Yalu, among the forested mountains of the Changbai region. The river separates this country from the Korean shore and carries the waters of many mountain streams southwestward. In the Tang period the kingdom of Balhae established Shenlu county here, under its Western Capital at the Yalu prefecture. The old town site preserves the memory of that earlier frontier centre.
