Tomb of Qing Taizong Hong Taiji and Empress Xiaoduanwen, begun in 1643; Shenyang's largest imperial tomb, inscribed on the World Heritage List together with Fuling as an extension project. The complex is laid out along a central axis with spirit-way stone beasts, huabiao (ornamental columns), Long'en Gate, Long'en Hall, Daming Tower and the Baocheng (treasure city); the stone beasts stand in file between ancient pines, solemn and imposing, and of the "Ten Scenic Views of Zhaoling" the moon shadow over Long'en Hall is the most celebrated. Beiling Park, which holds the tomb, is a forest of old pines with broad open lakes and the top choice for Shenyang locals' morning exercise and leisure; climb Daming Tower for a full view of the square city.
Getting there: Metro Line 2, Beiling Park Station
