Shenyang Imperial Palace is the most ancient imperial architectural complex of the Qing Dynasty in China next only to the Forbidden City in Beijing in historical and artistic value. The Palace occupies an area of 6 hectares with 114 ancient buildings. It is not only famous for its ancient imperial architecture, but also for its abundant collections - a large number of the remaining imperial relics, including the sword once used by the first Manchu emperor, Nurhachi. [Globaltimes.cn]
