Day 2 Shenyang Culture Tour & Shenyang Departure (B, L, D)

Good morning! Today after breakfast, you will be escorted to Mukden Palace to start your culture exploration. Mukden Palace, or called Shenyang Palace Museum or Shenyang Imperial Palace, is a miniature Beijing Forbidden City with unique Manchu features. In history, it was the imperial palace of Houjin, which later became Qing - China's final imperial dynasty. The glory of Mukden Palace faded in 1644, because Qing moved their capital to Beijing and chose Beijing Forbidden City to take its place as the imperial palace. However, as a vital witness of Qing’s rise and grow up, Mukden Palace is always a good history teller and well worth an up-close visit for Chinese culture fans. Being one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites is the best proof.
