Zhuānghé

Zhuanghe lies on the eastern shore of the Liaodong peninsula, where rivers descend to the Yellow Sea. In the late Ming period a settlement grew on the eastern bank of a river below Tianping Mountain. Fishing boats and trading vessels could sail upriver to load and unload there. The place became known as Dazhuangwu, and the river itself came to be called Zhuanghe.
