The city of Shenyang dates back to 300BC, when Qin Kai, a general

of the State of Yan, established the city of Houcheng. It took its

modern name – or something close to it, Shengjing – in 1625, when it

became the capital for the Qing Dynasty. The Qing dynasty, also

known as the Manchu, would go on to rule China as a whole from

1644 to 1912 – an extraordinary span of almost three centuries that

formed the map of the modern Chinese state.

The area around Shenyang is where it all began, and the Qing era of

cultural effervescence is reflected in many historic places and

artefacts today.

Shenyang has a rich cultural history. It is the birthplace of one of

China's greatest imperial dynasties and was the imperial capital

during the reign of two emperors. It is considered one of the most

important historical and cultural cities in China.

Shenyang dialect is similar to the other Northeastern dialects and also

to the national standard of Mandarin, Putonghua, but is known as a

form of Dongbeihua and has a wide range of vocabulary that is not

part of the country's official language. As Shenyang dialect is mutually

intelligible with most forms of Mandarin, some people prefer to

characterize it as an "accent" rather than a different "dialect."

Northeastern Chinese cuisine is a style of Chinese cuisine in

Northeast China. While many dishes originated from Manchu

cuisine, it is also heavily influenced by the cuisines of Russia,

Beijing, Mongolia, and Shandong. It relies significantly on

preserved foods and large portions due to the region's harshwinters and relatively short growing seasons.

A Chinese amah from Dong Bei, China brings a piece of her

home to Binondo, Manila with freshly-made Northern Chinese

dumplings.

The city's main urban area is located to the north of Hun River,

formerly the largest tributary of the Liao River proper and often locally

referred as the city's "mother river".

Shenyang's metropolitan area traditionally consisted of the 5 small

inner urban districts, surrounded by 4 larger outer suburban districts,

and accompanied by 4 rural counties on the north and west sides.
