Mu-tan-chiang

The principal rivers are the Yalu or Ai-chiang, the Tumen or Kaoli-chiang, the Sungari or Sung-hua-chiang, the Nonni, and the Hurka or Mu-tan-chiang.

The balanced planning of the ancient city on the Mu-tan-chiang corresponds on the whole to the layout of the capital of the T'ang Dynasty, Ch'ang-an. The same street plans are found in the ancient capitals of Japan, Nara and Kyoto, built on the Chinese model.

The key to the front was the town of Mu-tan-chiang, where the Japanese 5th Army (Lieutenant-General N. Shimizu) had concentrated.
