It's perfect for weekend short trips around Shenyang/Fushun, family outings with kids, and friends who love ancient architecture and history. The crowd is not large, making the experience especially comfortable.

The Ancestral Mausoleum of the Rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Located on the southern foothills of Qiyun Mountain in Yongling Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun, Liaoning Province, the Qing Yongling Mausoleum is undoubtedly the "No.1 Mausoleum beyond the Pass" of the Qing Dynasty. Together with Shenyang Fuling and Zhaoling, it is known as one of the "Three Mausoleums of Shengjing," ranking first among them. This tomb, which houses the ancestors of the Qing royal family, is a core historical witness to the rise of the Manchu people. In 2004, it was officially inscribed on the World Cultural Heritage list, becoming a precious and unique relic in the culture of Chinese imperial mausoleums. Qing Yongling was first built in the 26th year of the Ming Wanli period (1598), originally named Xingjing Mausoleum. In the 16th year of the Shunzhi reign (1659), it was officially named "Yongling," symbolizing the eternal stability of the Qing dynasty’s realm. The mausoleum contains the remains of Nurhaci’s sixth-generation ancestor Menggetiemuer, great-grandfather Fuman, grandfather Juechang’an, father Taksi, as well as uncle Lidun and uncle Tachapengu. Among them, four ancestors were posthumously honored as emperors during the Shunzhi period. This unique arrangement of "multiple emperors and ministers buried in one mausoleum" is unparalleled in imperial tombs throughout history. During the Qing dynasty, emperors Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang personally visited the mausoleum nine times to pay respects and perform ancestral rites, making Yongling’s ceremonies a state ritual that lasted for centuries. Unlike the grand and luxurious imperial tombs within the Pass, Qing Yongling is smaller in scale but rich in Manchu cultural essence. It follows the Central Plains imperial tomb layout of "front court and rear burial chamber, symmetrical along the central axis," yet preserves the original Manchu style of "wooden palisade gates." The wooden palisade gate of the Vermilion Gate is unique among all Qing imperial tombs. The front courtyard features four parallel pavilions with steles inscribed with the merits of the four ancestors, a distinctive architectural layout exclusive to Qing mausoleums. The entire tomb is nestled by the mountain and water, with Qiyun Mountain as a screen and Suzi River as a belt, perfectly aligning with traditional Chinese feng shui principles and blending harmoniously with the landscape of Liaodong, exuding a simple and solemn aura. After more than four centuries of wind and rain, Qing Yongling still stands with its red walls and yellow tiles among green mountains and cypresses. It is not only an imperial mausoleum but also a condensed history of the rise of the Manchu people. It serves as a rare physical specimen for studying early Qing history, the fusion of Manchu and Han architecture, and Manchu folk culture, quietly telling the legendary story of a dynasty’s rise from the land of white mountains and black waters.

Before setting off, my daughter packed a princess hat into her suitcase—a treasure she brought back from her kindergarten craft class. "Mommy, are we going to a real palace?" she asked, tilting her little face up. As the wheels rolled across the springtime plains of Northeast China, and the city walls of Hetu Ala came into view, I knew this journey through time would plant a seed of history in her heart. · -- Day 1: Traveling Through the Qing Dynasty | Being a Little Princess We arrived in Hetu Ala at 9 a.m., the spring sun shining on the gray bricks and tiles. My daughter put on her princess hat and ran around on the city walls, insisting I take pictures of her as the "Empress." There was an Eight Banners military exercise over the weekend; the battle flags fluttered, and the drums thundered. She watched, mesmerized, leaning on the railing. At noon, we had a pork stew at Lao Bai's house. When the blood sausage, sauerkraut, and pork belly hot pot was served, the little one's eyes widened: "Such a big pot!" The pork belly was stewed until tender; she could eat three pieces with the garlic sauce. In the afternoon, we went to the former site of the Fushun War Criminals Management Center. Before leaving, I briefly told her the story of Puyi. Walking into the cell where Puyi once lived, she whispered, "Even emperors were imprisoned?" The displayed artifacts made history feel tangible. In the evening, we went to the Lei Feng Stadium night market. Grilled cold noodles rolled with stinky tofu were her favorite. Holding a skewer, her mouth full of sauce, she smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. Outfit Tip: The temperature difference between day and night is large, so dress your child in a sweatshirt and a light jacket that are easy to put on and take off. · -- Day 2: Mines and Hot Springs | From Shock to Healing In the morning, standing on the viewing platform of the West Open-Pit Mine, Asia's largest man-made mine pit was right below us, the giant mine carts looking like toy cars. My daughter gripped the railing tightly: "Mommy, who dug this?" I told her stories about coal miners, and she nodded, seemingly understanding. At noon, we had spring pancakes at the "Spring Pancake King" restaurant. The thin, paper-thin pancakes were filled with braised pork hock and shredded potatoes. The little one rolled them herself, and although some were spilled, she ate them with great relish. In the afternoon, we went to the Rego Amusement Park hot springs. The snow-themed pools were amazing—soaking in hot water surrounded by pristine white snow. My daughter played in the children's pool, while her dad and I took turns soaking in the fire dragon bath. That evening, we checked into the Bali Water World Hotel. Our rooms had direct access to the hot spring area, so we could go straight to bed after our soak. Essential items for families: swimsuit, waterproof phone case, large bath towel. · -- Day 3: Manchu Culture | Finding Answers in Museums In the morning, we went to the Xinbin Manchu Museum and caught the 10 am Manchu song and dance performance. The shaman costumes were vibrant and colorful, and my daughter was mesmerized. She kept asking "What's this?" and "What's that?" about the hunting tools and daily necessities on display. At noon, we had Li Lianguan smoked meat pancakes. This century-old brand truly lived up to its reputation; the pancake crust was crispy, and the smoked meat was fragrant but not greasy. Paired with lamb offal soup, it was heartwarming and comforting. In the afternoon, we went to Crescent Island Ecological Park. The pear blossoms were in full bloom, like snow. We rented a four-person bicycle and rode around the lake. My daughter sat in front, ringing the bell, and excitedly shouted whenever she saw a flock of wild ducks. On the way back, we went to Lao San Barbecue for skewers. Their grilled pork belly and grilled heart tubes are signature dishes, bursting with the aroma of charcoal. My daughter raised her Jinmeile (a type of milk tea) and clinked glasses with me: "Mom, let's come again next time!" · -- Practical Travel Guide Itinerary · Day 1: Hetu Ala City → Lao Bai Jia's Pork Stew → Former Site of Fushun War Criminals Management Center → Lei Feng Stadium Night Market · Day 2: West Open-pit Mine Viewpoint → Spring Pancake King → Regao Amusement Park Hot Spring → Stay at Bali Water World Hotel · Day 3: Xinbin Manchu Museum → Li Liangu's Smoked Meat Pancake → Crescent Island Ecological Park → Lao San Barbecue → Return Trip Family Accommodation Recommendations · Bali Water World Hotel: Rooms directly connected to the hot spring area, high cost-performance ratio including breakfast · Fushun Wanda Realm Hotel: Prime location in the city center, family-friendly rooms with children's amenities Essential Items · Children's swimsuit, waterproof phone case, portable sketchbook · Light jacket, sunscreen, mosquito repellent · Common medications (fever patches, gastrointestinal medicine) Ticket Purchase Tips · Hetu Ala City entrance fee: 60 yuan; children under 1.3 meters are free. · War Criminals Management Center: Free admission (ID required) · West Open-pit Mine visit requires advance reservation. · Regao Amusement Park hot spring night tickets are more cost-effective.

[Visiting Hetu Ala City Only for the Ancient City? You're Missing! The Later Jin Capital Hides 6 Living Folk Customs, Let Locals Guide You to Be a "Prince for a Day"] Don't just focus on taking pictures of the city walls when visiting Hetu Ala City! This first capital of the Later Jin Dynasty hides the most vibrant Manchu folk customs—learn the etiquette of a subject to the emperor in the Khan's Palace, learn to make Sachima (a type of Manchu pastry) with the "Grand Princess," and listen to the legends of the Old Khan, which are more exciting than history books. For just 120 yuan per person, you can travel back to the Later Jin Dynasty. This is the right way to experience the ancient city! 📍Must-Do Folk Customs List (Tested by Ctrip Users) 1. Khan's Palace Etiquette Experience Recommendation Index ★★★★★ | 1 Hour Wearing the court attire of a prince/princess, stand in the Golden Hall and learn the "Three Kneels and Nine Kowtows" etiquette. The "Master of Ceremonies" will call out "Kneel—" in Manchu. You can also draw a "Later Jin Official Title Lottery" (drawing "Efu" (驸) will earn you a bow and arrow model). 👉Ctrip Booking Tips: Save 20 yuan by buying the "Ticket + Etiquette Experience" package. Two sessions daily, at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Queuing early to choose the golden court dress will result in better photos. 2. Manchu Traditional Food Workshop Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆ | 1.5 hours In the "Grand Madam's Kitchen," an aunt wearing a Manchu headdress teaches how to make Sachima: mix the Sachima dough with honey, sprinkle with pine nuts, and it's ready to be packed into a gift box to take home. You can also learn to wrap "Pineapple Leaf Buns," which have a fresh leafy aroma after steaming. 👉Secret Hidden Gem: Hidden in the old cabinet next to the stove is the "Eight Banners Recipe Book." Find the "Ama's Favorite Dish" to exchange for a free donkey roll. 3. Qiyun Academy Manchu Calligraphy Recommendation Index: ★★★☆☆ | 1 hour A gentleman in a long gown teaches how to write the Manchu character "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune). Using a wolf-hair brush dipped in gold powder, the writing on red paper can be used as Spring Festival couplets. The gentleman will explain how Manchu evolved from Mongolian, and tourists who understand will receive a free Manchu script booklet. ⚠ Avoidance Guide (Lessons Learned from Trip.com Users) 1. Don't buy "mass-produced Eight Banners badges"! Look for "Khanwang Workshop," where master craftsmen carve birchwood waist tags on-site, engraving names in Manchu script. They cost 30 yuan each, half the price of those sold at tourist stalls. Trip.com users have personally verified that they are genuinely handmade. 2. Don't miss the "Free Shaman Bonfire Night"! Every Saturday at 8 pm, shamans perform ritual dances and sing Manchu blessing songs in the central square of the ancient city. Following along is believed to "ward off disasters," and the performances are 10 times more authentic than those that cost money. 3. Don't choose restaurants "at the entrance of the ancient city"! Go to "Tongjia Courtyard," to the left after entering the city gate. For 60 yuan, you can order "Eight Bowls" (stewed meat, fried meatballs, etc.). The owner is a descendant of Manchus and will tell the story of "Old Khan's favorite sauerkraut hot pot." 🚗Itinerary (Copyright Guide) ▶One-Day Tour (Bust-Beat Version) 09:30 Enter the Ancient City → 10:00 Khan Palace Etiquette Experience 11:30 Enjoy Eight Bowls at Tong Family Courtyard 13:30 Learn to Make Sachima → 15:00 Practice Manchu Calligraphy 16:30 Visit Khan King Workshop and Buy Waist Talismans → 17:30 Return Trip 💰Average Price: 180+ RMB (Includes Experience + Meals) ▶2-Day Tour (In-Depth Version) Day 1: 10:00 Arrive → 11:00 Stay at "Qiren Xiaoyuan" Guesthouse (Heated Brick Bed Room) 12:00 Learn to Pickle Sauerkraut with the Host 14:00 Khan Palace Etiquette + Watch Eight Banners Army Drills 18:00 Enjoy "Pig Slaughter Feast" (with Manchu Toasting Song) 20:00 Shaman Bonfire Night Day 2: 08:30 Visit the "Taksi Residence" (Nurhaci's birthplace) 10:30 Learn Manchu tongue twisters → 12:00 Return home with Sachima souvenirs 💰350+ RMB per person (including accommodation and experience) 🚗Transportation: 1 hour drive from Fushun.

Qingyongling appears even more solemn after the snow, covered in ice and snow, witnessing the legacy of the Nurhaci clan. This is a tomb full of historical atmosphere and an important symbol of Manchu culture. 👉Introduction to Qingyongling Qingyongling is located at the foot of Qiyun Mountain in the northwest of Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province. It is the mausoleum of the father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Its architectural style and layout are similar to Fuling and Zhaoling in Shenyang, but slightly smaller in scale. 👉Features of Qingyongling 1. Spirit Way: About 500 meters long, it is the longest spirit way among the Eight Tombs outside the Pass, with 18 pairs of stone statues such as stone men and stone horses arranged on both sides. 2. Stone Carvings: The stone men and stone horses are vivid and lifelike, depicting Han officials and warriors, Eight Banners soldiers and attendants, Mongolian men and women, Hui men and women, reflecting the glorious history of the Manchu people and other ethnic groups working together to build a great cause. 3. Architectural Layout: The spirit way serves as the central axis, with symmetrical distribution on the east and west sides. From south to north, it is divided into three courtyards: the front courtyard, middle courtyard, and rear courtyard. The front courtyard is the stele pavilion, the middle courtyard contains the offering hall and two side halls, and the rear courtyard includes the treasure city and treasure top. 4. Stele Pavilion: Inside the stele pavilion is a large red lacquered wooden frame used to store four iron memorial tablets (this feature is not found in the other three imperial tombs: Fuling, Zhaoling, and Dongjingling). 5. Treasure City and Treasure Top: The treasure city is circular with a diameter of about 34 meters; the treasure top is placed on the central high platform of the circle; the ground is paved with blue bricks forming a circular Sumeru base; six iron chains stand on the treasure top; copper bells hang from the iron chains. 6. Architectural Characteristics: Built according to the mountain terrain, it adopts the form of front court and rear tomb, with the spirit way and offering hall in front, and the treasure city and treasure top at the back; all buildings use white lime jointing techniques, making the structures appear whiter; gaps between buildings are filled and smoothed with white lime; the surroundings are planted with pine and cypress trees, creating a shady green environment.

Just got back from Fushun, my nose was so frozen my snot almost turned into icicles, I have to immediately say some harsh truths! 😅❄️ This December trip, I originally thought it would be a romantic snowy getaway, but the cold wind almost made me turn back. Don’t rush to judge though—listen to me first, and you might actually want to rush over and experience it yourself! First, the itinerary: I stayed for three days and two nights, tight schedule but enough time to have fun. 🏮📅 Arrived in Fushun in the afternoon on day one, booked airport pickup through Trip.com, and the driver was so enthusiastic I thought I’d walked into a pyramid scheme, but it was really convenient. 🚗💨 I chose a hot spring hotel in the city center, a bit pricey, but soaking in hot springs in winter was a lifesaver—more on that later. The Fushun War Criminals Management Site is a must-visit, the historical atmosphere is so heavy it makes you hold your breath. 🎭📜 But here’s the harsh truth: in December, it’s sparsely populated and the cold damp weather makes it creepy to walk alone, so I recommend bringing a companion. 👥😰 The exhibits are quite impressive, but the heating is insufficient—I was shivering even wrapped in a down jacket, so don’t wear too little, seriously! Hetu Ala City was a pleasant surprise, the snow-covered Manchu old buildings feel like stepping back in time. 🏰❄️ Perfect for photos, every shot looks like a masterpiece. But transportation is a pain: bus frequency is pitifully low, I waited half an hour in the cold wind and finally bit the bullet to take a taxi, which was a bit expensive but saved time. 🚕💸 Driving yourself would be better; Trip.com has plenty of car rental options, just plan ahead. Food is a must—don’t miss Fushun’s spicy mixed hot pot, spicy with a hint of sweetness, it warms you up all over. 🍲🔥 Honestly, some old restaurants have shabby environments and greasy tables, but the taste is so authentic it brings tears to your eyes. Foodies, put aside your cleanliness obsession and dive in! 😋👍 I also tried the sauerkraut and pork hot pot, steaming hot and perfect for winter, but portions are large—one person would waste it, so better share with a group. 🍖❤️ The hot spring experience was the highlight of this trip—soaking in hot water at minus ten degrees felt like life was complete. ♨️🌟 But here comes the harsh truth again: hot spring hotels are pricey, even more so on holidays, and buying swimsuits on site is expensive and poor quality—I almost cried from being ripped off. 💸😅 So remember to bring your own gear, and check reviews carefully when booking on Trip.com to avoid pitfalls. The ski resort is in the suburbs of Fushun, suitable for beginners with gentle slopes, no fear of falling hard. ⛷️❄️ However, the equipment rental area is a nightmare—old skis, thin gloves, my friend’s fingers went numb from the cold. 🧤🧦 Harsh truth: if you ski often, bring your own gear; if just trying it out, bear with it—the prices are affordable and it’s worth the fresh experience. Don’t expect much from shopping, souvenirs are all wholesale market goods, made me shake my head. 🛍️😴 But the local vegetable market is fun, selling frozen pears and candied hawthorns, grab some to eat while walking and instantly feel like a kid again. 🍬❄️ For photos, snowy street scenes are more charming than souvenirs, take plenty to bring home memories. 📸🌟 Weather is key: December in Fushun averages minus 15 degrees, the wind cuts like a knife on your face. 🧣🧢 Warm gear is a must—down jackets, snow boots, heat packs, none can be missed. But when the sun shines, the snow sparkles beautifully, photos come out breathtaking, so the cold is worth it! ☀️📷 Check the weather forecast before traveling to avoid blizzards, or flight delays will be a headache. Transportation summary: high-speed train from Shenyang to Fushun is super convenient, just half an hour, tickets available on Trip.com. 🚄💨 But local buses are slow, using ride-hailing apps for taxis is more cost-effective and avoids detours. For accommodation, hot spring hotels are expensive but great experience; budget hotels with good heating are fine—choose based on your wallet. 🏠💰 I stayed at two places, a high-end hot spring hotel and a cheap guesthouse; honestly, the high-end hotel is more worth it, especially in winter. Finally, my feelings: December in Fushun is so cold it makes you want to curse, but so beautiful it leaves you speechless. 🌨️❤️ Historical sites stand silent in the snow, food shines in the cold—this contrast really touched my heart. If you’re not afraid of the cold, this place offers a unique winter romance—imagine soaking in hot springs, eating spicy hot pot, with snowflakes falling outside the window, it’s incredibly healing! 🍜❄️ Don’t hesitate, pack your bags and go feel it, just dress warmly or you’ll really turn into an icicle! 🎒🚀

🔥A must-visit in Xinbin!

Look closely—hidden in the saddle pattern is the “wan” character that never ends, symbolizing “long-lasting national fortune”🌀 ✔ Dizang Temple: Built during the Later Jin Tianming era, the incense burner inside is an original from early Qing, with verdigris patina. The incense smoke mixed with pine resin scent calms the mind as soon as you enter🙏 ✔ Horse Racing Field: A true Qing Dynasty military training ground reconstruction, compacted sand without cement. When riding and whipping, dust rises, and the wind carries the scent of grass and sweat🐎 💡Fun fact: The ancient well at the end of the corridor is still in use—the water drawn is clear and slightly sweet. Locals say, “Take a sip, and your speech will have a bit of a Manchu accent.” 🎭 Real Manchu daily life, not acted but lived · 10:00 Shaman Drum Performance|Intangible cultural heritage inheritors wear divine clothes and copper bells. The three drum beats start slow and speed up, ending with a sharp “pa” like tearing silk, leaving the audience breathless💥 · 13:30 Manchu Language Mini Class|On the museum’s second floor, a grandmother handwrites “E’niang” and “Abukahehe” (Heavenly Mother), teaching children to write Manchu with a brush. The scent of paper and ink fills the air with warmth✍ · 15:00 Horse Riding Experience|Choose between a small Mongolian horse or a Liaodong draft horse. The coach is a local Manchu rider whose “jia!” command comes with a genuine Fushun accent, warmly like returning home👨🌾 🍜 Manchu flavors to the soul, sour, sweet, salty, and savory all packed with punch ▫ Sour Soup Noodles Stall: Cornmeal fermented and pressed into strips, topped with wild mushroom and meat sauce, slightly sour and smooth, one bowl makes your forehead sweat💦 ▫ Blood Sausage Stewed Pork: Slow-cooked in old broth for 4 hours, blood sausage tender as tofu, dipped in garlic soy sauce, so fragrant you can’t stop eating🐖 ▫ Perilla Leaf Steamed Cake: Sticky sorghum flour bread with perilla seeds, steamed with perilla leaf fragrance permeating the crust, soft and oily inside, with a wild mountain aroma🍃 ▫ Milk Skin Milk Tea Shop: Freshly brewed milk tea topped with a thick milk skin layer, sprinkled with roasted soybean powder, warm, fragrant, and rich—a triple hit☕ 📸 Four low-key but super atmospheric photo spots 📍Dizang Temple Stone Steps|Morning light slants, moss glows in the stone cracks. Sitting on the third step in a blue-gray robe, your back tells a small Qing Dynasty story📖 📍Horse Racing Field Wooden Fence|Afternoon backlight, horse mane blown by the wind, capturing the moment of the leap, even the dust carries a grainy sense of history💨 📍Corridor Under the Ice Crack Pattern Window|Light and shadow fall on Manchu rubbings, the characters “Fu” (fortune) and “Shou” (longevity) faintly visible. Sitting quietly for five minutes, your heart sinks🧘 📍Museum Manchu Calligraphy Wall|Writing “Bayan” (abundance) by hand with a deer hair brush, the ink still wet, you can already smell the pine soot fragrance✒ ⏰ Best seasons: May–June (azaleas bloom, fewer people in Manchu classes)|September–October (clear autumn air, horse riding not too hot) 🕒 Recommended duration: 3–4 hours (including performances + experiences + leisurely strolls, just right pace) 🚗 Transportation: About 10 minutes by taxi from Xinbin County (¥12), or take Bus No. 1 to “Manchu Ethnic Style Park Station” and get off right there 🎫 Tickets: ¥45/person (students/60+ years ¥22, free for 70+ years and children under 1.2 meters) ❗ Tips to avoid pitfalls: × Don’t buy the “Manchu amulet” at the entrance—inside the park’s intangible cultural heritage workshop you can customize a real handwritten Manchu bookmark (¥15, written on site, can be personalized) × Don’t use flash photography inside Dizang Temple—the ancient painted buildings fear light; quiet reverence is respect Come to Xinbin, hear the shaman drum shake your eardrums, ride once on the Qing Dynasty horse racing field, and truly feel the name “White Mountains and Black Waters” in your heart 🌲

Weekend escape plans must include heading into the mountains! Nature is the best way to relieve stress. Just a 1.5-hour drive from Shenyang, Fushun’s Taiji Bay—where Suzi River winds around the green hills in a 270-degree big loop—naturally forms a Taiji Bagua pattern right before your eyes. The clear water wraps around the yellow earth canyon like a silk ribbon, and every photo you take looks like a National Geographic shot without any filters. This route is perfect for beginners! We chose a 3.6 km easy loop that takes about 2.5 hours to complete. The total elevation gain is low, with only one small rock wall about three meters high that requires climbing, but with good hand and foot holds, it’s very safe. Surprises await along the way: stepping on fallen leaves and watching sunlight scatter through the forest. The best spot is the viewing platform! Around 4.5 km, you can shoot the full panorama of Taiji Bay from the cliff edge. After 6 km, there’s a golden photo section where distant mountains, clear water, and green trees form a natural frame. Standing on the rocky outcrop to take pictures will instantly blow up your social media. If you get tired, don’t worry—at 5.2 km you can turn right to descend anytime, no need to push through the entire route. 📝 Hiking Essentials · Clothing: Non-slip hiking shoes/outdoor shoes are a must since the descent has dirt slopes that can be slippery.
