This is one of those rare Shenyang attractions that one cannot afford to give a miss. Built in 1625 by Nurhachu, the first emperor of the Qing dynasty, it bears a striking resemblance to Beijing's famous Forbidden City, but on a smaller scale. The palace has 300 rooms and 20 yards and exhibits Manchu, Mongolian and Han architectural styles. Relics abound and include a famous tiger-veined double-edged sword used by Nurhachu himself. Indoor photography is prohibited. Admission cost is 50 CNY.NYC Best Hotel Deals: 50% Savings In New York! Experience New York At It's Finest!JustClickLocal.com
