Liao Shangjing site, Archaeological site in Lindong, Inner Mongolia, China
The Liao Shangjing site exhibits two connected sections with an imperial city in the north and a settlement area in the south connected by walls.
From 918 to 1120, this location served as the capital of the Khitan Liao Dynasty, marking a significant period of power in Northeast China.
The archaeological findings include Buddhist artifacts, pagodas, and religious structures that demonstrate the strong Buddhist influence during the Liao Dynasty period.
The site features a museum containing 113,885 cultural relics, including 57 national first-class artifacts that document the Khitan civilization.
The city layout resembles the Chinese character '日', integrating both nomadic and settled populations through its architectural design.
