Why This Route

Mukden Palace and What Lies Within Reach

Built from 1625, when Nurhaci moved his capital here, and extended by Hong Taiji. The Dazheng Hall and the Ten Kings' Pavilions fan out in an eight-banner council layout, with clear Manchu, Mongol and Tibetan elements, different from the Han-style rules of the Forbidden City in Beijing. After the Qing entered the pass, the palace stayed as a secondary capital palace.

Mukden Palace lies 2 km from central Shenyang in a straight line. This route stays within 2 km of it. The stops are Zhongjie Pedestrian Street, Marshal Zhang's Mansion Museum, Xiaoheyan Morning Market.

The Shenyang city guide covers the city itself.
