Diaobingshan is a city in the northeast of Liaoning province in Northeast China. It is under the administration of Tieling City, which lies to the southeast. In 2020 the population was 206,058.[1]
The city was established as Tiefa City, a compound name of nearby Tieling City and Faku County,[2] in 1982 as a coal production base. In 2002 it was renamed to Diaobingshan, which is the name of a mountain west of the city. Diaobingshan, which can be translated as 'troops dispatching mountain' is named for troop movements during the Jin dynasty being dispatched from here.[3]
There are seven towns under the city's administration.[4]
