Snow blankets Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum on Feb 15. Shenyang Imperial Palace, also called Mukden Palace, was built in 1625 as the residence of Nurhaci and his son Hong Taiji, founders of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Shenyang was later used as an accompanying capital after the dynasty moved its capital to Beijing in 1644. Currently, it is one of the most well-preserved palaces in China. [Photo/IC]
