Shenyang

Shenyang spreads across ten urban districts with over nine million inhabitants at an elevation of 55 meters in Northeast China. The metropolis connects residential neighborhoods, industrial zones and business districts through a network of subway lines and wide avenues.

The city became the capital of the Later Jin dynasty in 1621 and served as the last residence of Qing emperors before their move to Beijing. This period shaped the architecture and cultural heritage of the region to this day.

The Liaoning Provincial Museum holds everyday objects from the Han, Manchu and Mongol communities who have lived in this region for centuries. The exhibits reveal crafts, clothing and religious customs practiced by these groups.

The subway network connects the main districts of the city and makes it easier for visitors to navigate when exploring different neighborhoods. Most stations have elevators and escalators, which simplifies access for travelers with luggage.

The city maintains close economic ties with Russia, Japan and Korea through production facilities for cars, machinery and electronic components. These industrial connections shape the cityscape with modern factories and trade centers along the main thoroughfares.
