China: 'A Rest-Stop for the Khitan Khan' (left panel), Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period painting (907-960 CE)

The Khitan people (or Khitai, Kitan, or Kidan), were a nomadic Mongolic people, originally located in Mongolia and Manchuria (the northeastern region of modern day China) from the 4th century. They dominated a vast area in northern China by the 10th century under the Liao Dynasty, but have left few relics that have survived until today. After the fall of Liao in 1125, many Khitans moved further west and established the state of Kara Khitai, which was finally destroyed by the Mongol Empire in 1218.
