It is the largest Chinese border city,〔Rogers, Jenny. "(New group reaches out to China )." ''Gold Coast Bulletin''. October 2, 2012. Retrieved on October 23, 2012.〕 facing Sinuiju, North Korea across the Yalu River, which demarcates the Sino-Korean border. To the southwest of the city, the river flows into Korea Bay. Dandong has therefore had a dynamic history because of its strategic location for the northeast's rich natural resources and because of its convenient access to the ocean. It is designated as a major export production centre for the province, and is a port city connected by rail with Shenyang and Sinuiju. A significant amount of trade with North Korea flows through the city.〔Kanto, Dick K. and Mark E. Manyin. ''China-North Korea Relations''. DIANE Publishing. December 28, 2010. (10 ). Retrieved from Google Books on October 23, 2012. ISBN 1437985114, 9781437985115.〕 The size of the administrative city (prefecture) is . As of 2010, the built-up area made of 3 urban districts is in size and had 865,576 inhabitants. The administrative city contained approximately 2.45 million inhabitants as of the 2010 census. The Hushan Great Wall, the far eastern end of the Great Wall of China, is located here. ==History== Maps and artifacts suggest that the area has been settled since the Zhou Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty (221B.C.-220 A.D.), Dandong region was under the jurisdiction of West Anping county. In the early Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), Dandong region was under the jurisdiction of Andong Prefecture, and in Liao Dynasty (916-1125), it was under the jurisdiction of Xuan state, Kai state and Mu state.〔 In Jin Dynasty it was under the jurisdiction of Po-Su state, In Yuan Dynasty it was under the jurisdiction of Po-Sha state.〔 In Ming Dynasty(1368-1644) it was under the jurisdiction of Liaodong state.〔 The area became known as Andong County () in 1876. "" means "pacifying the east", reflecting the power projection that China had over Korea at the time. It was occupied by Japan after the start of the first Sino-Japanese War in 1894. During the Manchukuo era it was the capital of Andong Province, one of the fourteen provinces established by Manchukuo. Then, in 1907, it was opened as a treaty port. From November 1950 to February 1951, Dandong's Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge as well as an older iron bridge leading to North Korea, were bombed by the United States during the Korean War. Even though the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge was rebuilt, the remains of the Japanese built iron bridge were left and are now open as a war monument. on 20 January 1965, the city adopted its present name Dandong, which means “red east,” to avoid connotation with its previous name, which was considered imperialistic by some. Recently, the city has been gaining influence in this region of China because of its market with North Korea and the government's future plans to develop the city into a special “Border Economic Cooperation Zone” for export and import, in order to expand the country's ability to conduct trade. In 2001, Dandong was awarded "Best Tourism City" by the National Tourism Administration. In 2005, Dandong was awarded "National Clean City" by the National Tourism Administration.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dandong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
