Liaoning Province is a highly urbanized province. Shenyang is located in the hinterland of Liaodong Peninsula Development Zone. With Shenyang as the center of region, within the diameter of 150km radius, Shenyang, Anshan, Fushun, Benxi, Dandong, Yingkou, Liaoyang and Tieling form the central economic circle and city group of Liaoning Province. The unique location of Shenyang means it has a large development potential and advantage. At the same time, beside self development, Shenyang also has the responsibility of promoting the development of Liaoning Province and the northeast part of China. The jurisdiction of Shenyang covers one county-level city, nine urban districts and three counties. Its total jurisdiction area is 12,980 km2 with a total population of 6.8 million (4.76 million urban). The built-up area of Shenyang is 185 km2 with a population of 3.48 million. There are about 5,000 industrial enterprises in the city including 330 large-scale enterprises. Shenyang is the old industrial base constructed in the first five-year-plan period. In the past, the development principles of the city were " producing first, then comes living ", " polluting first, then comes the harness " and " production first, management later". This unreasonable development concept caused lots of serious problems in the urban biological environment. Since the our country's economic reform, Shenyang has become the biggest economic center in Liaoning province. Automobile, machinery, electronic information, environmental protection and chemical pharmacy are prominent industries. Shenyang Taoxian International Airport provides more than 40 domestic scheduled flights and several international scheduled flights everyday. Shenyang is the biggest railway hub in the northeast part of China. The highways in Shenyang radiate in all directions. The highway between Shenyang and Beijing has been put in use since September, 2000. This highway shortens the distance between Shenyang and Beijing, the capital of China, even the distance between Shenyang and the world. In 1999, GDP of Shenyang was 101.31 billion RMB yuan. Shenyang is located on the north bank of the Hun River. The Hun River was called "Shen Water" in history and "Yang" was given as a name to a place on the north bank of a river. Shenyang, a famous historical city in China, is a good place for tourism. There are many famous historic sites, museums and memorial halls in Shenyang, such as Qing Imperial Palace, Fu and Zao tombs, " 18*, September" The Second Liao River Basin Project R-l Volume 3 February 2002 Appendix R Historical Museum, "the Zhang's Residence" (the residence of late warlord Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang), School of Teenager Zhou Enlai, and Steam Locomotive Museum and so on. 2.2 Fushun Fushun is located in the east mountain area of Liaoning and its coordinates range from east longitude 123039'42" to 125028'58" and north latitude 41014'10" to 41028'32".
