Mukden Palace, Imperial palace in Shenyang, China.

The palace complex spans 60,000 square meters and contains more than 300 rooms arranged around 20 courtyards in three distinct sections.

Built in 1625 under Nurhachi's rule, the palace served as the residence for the first three Qing dynasty emperors until they relocated to Beijing in 1644.

The architectural design merges elements from Han, Manchu, and Mongolian traditions, reflecting the multicultural nature of early Qing dynasty rule.

The palace museum opens daily except Monday afternoons, with entrance fees of 60 yuan for adults and free admission for children under 1.3 meters.

The black-roofed Wen Su Pavilion in the western section houses the Complete Collection of Four Treasures, with the color chosen to protect books from fire.
