Graced by peach blossoms, Fuling Tomb draws visitors

Peach flowers -- now in full blossom at the ancient Fuling Tomb in Shenyang, in Northeast China's Liaoning province -- are proving irresistible as they draw admiring visitors. Fuling Tomb, also known as Dongling Tomb, is the mausoleum of Nurhachi, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), and his wives. It served as the main site for ritual ceremonies performed by the imperial family during the dynasty. Located in the eastern part of Shenyang city, Fuling Tomb was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004. It is also a national 4A tourist attraction. [Photo/IC]
