Hetuala town

Hetuala town is located in Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County,16 sq km west of the county.Hetuala is a Manchu language meaning horizontal hill.It is well known at home and abroad not only because Nuerhachi,the founder of Qing Dynasty was born here but also it is the first capital of Latter Jin.It is named as the first capital of Qing.

Hetuala Town is also called Old Town. It is surrounded by water on three sides. In olden times, Hetuala had more than 100 thousand inhabitants. In the town, the construction was brilliant, culture flourished and the market was very busy. However, the Old Town was destroyed by fighting between Japan and Russia at the start of the 20th Century.

Today, it has been reconstructed in its historical appearance with some relics:
The Well of the Khan, which is called as "limitless holy well", still has a clear spring, and the water tastes very good.

In the adjacent house, with a history of over 260 years, the living habits of Manchurian people are still maintained. Inside is a dangling cart, which shows vividly the folk custom of "bringing up children by the dangling cart". However, there is a cloth tiger sleeping in the dangling cart today.

In the China Manchurian Folklore Garden of the Old Town, a group of youths are performing a Manchurian dance. They integrate beauty with roughness seamlessly. Xin Yanjie, head of the group, explained that all the performers are local peasants, and they stage four performances, each lasting 20 minutes. Among the spectators are some foreigners who admired their dancing postures and dress and adornment. Mr. Xin held the wish that one day the original Manchurian dance will grace the international dancing stage.

The Marshal's Grove Memorial

Located at the foot of Tiebei Mountain, 30 km east of Fushun, this tomb was built by Zhang Xueliang for his father and Manchurian warlord Zhang Zuolin (1873-1928).  The tomb has the architecture style of the ancient emperor tombs.  Since Zhang Zuolin was "a Defending Marshal of the Country" during his lifetime, the tomb was named Marshal Tomb Forest (Yuanshuai Lin).  Zhang Zuolin was fatally injured when Japanese troops blew up his train so actually the tomb is empty.       

The surrounding Yuanshuai (Marshal) Forest is located at the north side of Dahuofang Reservoir.  It has a picturesque landscape and is a favorite among visitors to the Fushun area.

Qing YongLing (Yong Tomb)

Originally known as Xingjing Tomb and built in 1598, this mausoleum lies south of Qiyun Mountain near the Suzi River and northwest of the Yongling Township in Xinbin County under Fushun jurisdiction.  It was restored many times during the Kang Xi and Qian Long reigns after it was renamed Yongling in 1659. It covers an area of about twelve thousand square kilometers surrounded by mountains and rivers and creating the impression of luxuriant surroundings. Ancestors of the first Qing emperor, Nurhachi (1559-1626), are buried in this tomb. They are Gaitemu, one of his ancestors; Fuman, and his great-grandfather; Juechangan his grandfather, and his father, Takeshi.

The mausoleum is composed of the Front Courtyard, the Fangcheng (the square castle) and Baocheng (tombs surrounded by additional high walls like a castle), all surrounded by a vermilion wall.  At the center of the south front yard stands the Red Gate inside of which are four pavilions with four stone tablets in each pavilion praising the four ancestors.  On the east and west sides are tea houses, washing rooms and houses for worshippers to change their clothes. In line with the system of "office hall in front and bedroom in the rear" a Hall of Offering Sacrifice was built inside the Square Castle. Left and right walls are inlayed with color glazed dragons which added luster to the vermilion walls and yellow tiles. The main building at the center of the Square Castle was called Qiyun Hall. Inside Qiyun Hall is the warm pavilion and treasure bed for offering sacrifices.  Two side halls are on the east and west sides of Qiyun Hall. In front of the side halls is a silk burning furnace.  Behind Qiyun Hall are tombs, most of whose occupants have been removed to other places.  Some tombs contain only the hat and clothing of the dead.

Lei Feng Museum

Lei Feng Museum is the museum dedicated to Comrade Lei Feng. Lei was a selfless, humble, dedicated PLA soldier who was killed in an accident in his early 20s in 1962.His deeds, though modest, became morality tales: Lei Feng darning his comrades' socks; Lei Feng washing his comrades' feet; Lei Feng helping old people across the road.

One of the promised attractions of the Lei Feng museum in Fushun was the abundance of relics: his simple clothes, copies of his famous diary, photographs of his noble deeds and the socks he darned as his friends slept.
