- Talien (Dairen) and Lüshun (Port Arthur) at the rocky tip of the Liaotung Peninsula, now often referred to as the single conurbation of Lüta, do a still larger shipping business as the dominant ports for the highly commercialized industrialized economy of the Northeast, and profit from the excellent harbor of Talienwan (wan “bay”); inland connections with Manchuria are primarily by rail, since the Liao River is navigable only for small craft.
