Place: Physical Features In Eastern Liaoning there is a mountain range called the Longgang Mountains. Liaoning has high elevations in the east and the west and a low plain area in the center. This is much like a double sided ladder that is flipped upside down. Liahoe is the main river in Liaong and runs almost directly through the middle of it.
