The image is a photograph of a plaque on a wall that reads "The East Capital of the Liao Dynasty". The plaque is written in black text on a beige background and is attached to a white wall with two screws. The text is in Chinese and appears to be a historical marker or plaque. The plaque reads "At the beginning of the Liao, Abaoji established the Upper Capital according to the Han Chinese system. As the territory was broadened, he set up the East, South, West and Middle Capitals, and built states and counties in the huge northern steppes. The Liaoning area was among the earliest ones to be exploited and belonged to the East. Middle and Upper Capitals separately. Over two hundred years, the development of feudal culture in the Liu River valley accelerated the ethnic mix of the Bohai, Khitans and Han-chinese."
