Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning province, was the Manchu capital before Beijing — and the Mukden Palace (Shenyang Imperial Palace) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an extraordinary complex rivaling the Forbidden City in architectural grandeur but with far fewer tourists. The Fuling Mausoleum (Nurhaci's tomb) and Zhaoling Mausoleum (Hong Taiji's tomb) are also UNESCO-listed. Shenyang's vibrant local food scene features dongbei (northeastern) cuisine.
