LĂĽshunkou
Lüshun city or Lüshunkou or (literally) Lüshun Port (), formerly in historic references both Port Arthur and Ryojun, is a town in the southernmost administrative district of Dalian of the People's Republic of China. It is located at the extreme southern tip of the Liaodong peninsula, and has an excellent natural harbour the possession and control of which became one of the casus belli in both the first Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars in the period 1894 — 1905, indeed, up through the year 1953.
