Exploring Shenyang Imperial Palace in 3 Hours

🇨🇳 Northeast and North China Tour - Day 7 🗓 2025.01.14 I visited the Shenyang Imperial Palace with an entrance fee of 50 yuan and explored every corner of the palace in detail, which took about 3 hours. The palace was built in 1625 when Nurhaci founded the Later Jin dynasty and had been reigning as the Great Khan for nine years. He constructed a magnificent palace reflecting the Manchu style and moved the capital there, marking exactly 400 years since that event! Nurhaci, the first Great Khan, passed away the year after relocating the capital to Shenyang. His eighth son, Hong Taiji, ascended as the second Great Khan and began expanding the palace. This development seemed to transform Shenyang into a major city.
