🇨🇳 Panjin (盘锦) is a coastal prefecture-level city in central Liaoning province, People's Republic of China, situated on the northern shore of the Liaodong Bay. It borders Anshan to the east, Yingkou to the south-east, and Jinzhou to the west and north. It is the smallest city in both Liaoning and the entire Northeast China with an administrative area of 3,825 square km (1,477 sq mi). The built-up (or metro) area made of the 2 urban districts and Dawa and Panshan counties now largely being conurbated.

Administration Panjin has administrative jurisdiction over 3 districts and 1 county: 1 Xinglongtai District, 兴隆台区; 2 Shuangtaizi District, 双台子区; 3 Dawa District, 大洼区; 4 Panshan County, 盘山; Panjin was established as a prefecture-level city with its current boundaries by the State Council on June 5, 1984.

Geography Panjin is located with its urban section mainly on the historical Liao River Delta. The Shuangtaizi River (which gives name to the city's Shuangtaizi District), formally the smaller western distributary but now the only lower section of the Liao River system, flows through the city and drains into the Liaodong Bay to its west between its Dawa District and Panshan County. The Daliao River, historically Liao River's larger eastern distributary and the main lower section but now a separate river system since 1958, runs east of Panjin, serving as the border between it and the neighboring cities of Anshan and Yingkou.

Panjin is a major crude oil production centre of Northeast China, with access to the Liaohe Oil Field, which was once the third largest oil field in China behind Daqing and Shengli Oil Fields.
