Xiánkāng

Xiankang was the seat of Chuanzhou under the Liao, in the country northeast of Chaoyang. When the Liao renamed Baichuanzhou as Chuanzhou in 951, Xiankang served as its administrative centre, and a military governor of Changning was appointed there. The settlement stood within a region of hills and river valleys between the northeastern plains and the grasslands, where Liao rulers organised prefectures and counties alongside their military commands.
