The Imperial Palace in Shenyang or Mukden, also known as the Imperial Palace of Shenyang (Prosperous Capital), is the palace built and used by the first two emperors of the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911) before the Manchus conquered and moved into China proper.
Enclosed by an imposing palace wall dominated by Daqing Gate in the center on the south side, the layout anf architecture of the palace suggest the power hierarchy of the Manchus and their life style, offering glimpses of certain aspects of the social conditions of the Qing regime in its early days.
On the basis of the physical layout of the palace and the time different parts were built, we can divide the palace into three sectors, the central palace and the east and the west wing.

The Qing's leaders stayed in the city for 19 years, perfecting a system of government modeled on the Chinese and plotting an attack on the weakened Míng from inside their palace, which still stands in the city center.
The attack, referred to in China as the September 18th (or Mukden) Incident and immortalized in a museum in the north part of the city, eventually led to the establishment of Manchukuo (Mandarin: Manzhou Guó), the puppet state Japan used to mask its territorial ambitions during World War II.
