Hetu Ala City, Xinbin, Fushun, is the birthplace of Nurhaci and the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. It is known as the "First City of the Qing Dynasty." Xianyou Palace is located in Hetu Ala City. Xianyou Palace, originally called Yuhuang Pavilion, was built by Nurhaci in 1615 and is a famous Taoist temple in the Liaodong region of the Qing Dynasty. Before every war or major event, Nurhaci would come here to pray for blessings and ask the gods for protection. Later, Emperor Shunzhi came here and personally wrote a stele inscription in Manchu and Chinese. In Xianyou Palace, there is a big elm tree, which is revered as a sacred tree. After more than 400 years of wind and rain, it is still full of vitality and has always protected the people here. Xianyou Palace bears witness to history and continues history. Xianyou Palace blesses people and is eternal in people's hearts.

Fushun, Liaoning, has been an important industrial city in Northeast China since modern times and is known as the "coal capital." Today, it is a typical resource-exhausted city. Many people travel to Shenyang, but they are not interested in Fushun, which is just a short drive away. In fact, Fushun has a rich historical heritage, and many historical events and figures are related to this city: Hetu Ala City The birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. In the 44th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhaci ascended the throne here and established the Jin regime, known as the Later Jin in history. Yongling Tomb The ancestral tomb of the Qing royal family and a World Cultural Heritage site. It is the tomb of Nurhaci's father, grandfather, great-grandfather, distant ancestors, uncles, and other royal relatives. Lei Feng's Tomb and Monument Fushun is Lei Feng's second hometown and the birthplace of the Lei Feng spirit, as well as his resting place. Pingdingshan Massacre Site On September 16, 1932, the Japanese invaders massacred more than 3,000 innocent villagers of Pingdingshan Village at the foot of Pingdingshan Mountain in the southern part of Fushun. Marshal Forest The tomb of Zhang Zuolin, which is now a huge empty tomb. Before the burial, Fushun had already fallen into enemy hands. The gate of the Marshal Forest faces Tiebei Mountain, and not far behind Tiebei Mountain is Sarhu, where Nurhaci once defeated the Ming army. Fushun War Criminals Management Office Site Aisin Gioro Puyi was imprisoned here for ten years. During the Qing Dynasty, Fushun was both prosperous and defeated, a true cycle of history. The above are all national key cultural relics protection units in Fushun that I visited in one day. In addition, there are Ga'er Mountain, open-pit mines, and other attractions worth seeing. I must say two things: There is a zebra crossing without traffic lights on the road in front of the Lei Feng Memorial Hall, and tourists look left and right when crossing the road, but no cars give way. This is a city where Lei Feng is buried and is known for Lei Feng. Yongling Tomb is small and remote, but the ticket is very expensive. You may feel like you will regret it if you don't go in after coming all the way here, but there is really nothing to see.

Every time the twelfth lunar month, that is, the small year in the northern region, the hospitable host will present "four dishes, four bowls." After the Spring Festival, the "eight dishes and eight bowls" will be served, and they will be eaten until the second day of February, which is also known as the "dragon heads up." These steamed bowls, which are freshly steamed, steamed and fragrant, are delicious and refreshing. They are all top-class folk dishes. They are pure and unique, and they are amazing. I have to say that the Manchu people are very particular about hospitality. The dishes are made with real dishes. The bowl is a deep and high bowl. It is a delicious dish, but the Manchu people are refreshing. Character. They not only demand "eight dishes, eight bowls", but also color, taste, fragrance, and shape. The dishes should also be tangible, and the steamed bowl should be pure and fragrant. In addition, there is also a saying that there is an eight-disc dish for the next dish, and the next eight bowls are the next meal. Masters are always in the folk, so is the food. When I came to the village of Hertuara, it was like walking into the ancient times. The land under my feet was perfectly matched by Nurhachi, the blue sky, the rolling green hills and the antique houses of blue brick and gray tiles. An old and simple ink painting. When the beauty meets the food, what kind of spark will it collide? May enter the first village of Manchu, China, it will give you the best answer. The so-called "diet men and women, people's desires to save", food is not only an indispensable life demand, but also a precipitated culture, enjoying food is a great pleasure in life.

I wish you a happy new year. In the Manchu village in the northeast, feel the atmosphere of the Great Year in the Northeast. Red lanterns, flower curtains, window grilles, dumplings, this is a pure sense of ritual. Hortualah Village in Liaoning is the birthplace of the Manchu and the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty royal family. Nurhachi is going out from here. It can be said that it is the most lucrative place in the Northeast. Red lanterns and red flowers are very good to take pictures.

I tried the eight-disc and eight-bowl of the Manchu authentic table, so that I could feel the food from the tip of my tongue. The dish is a real album, the bowl is a deep and high bowl. When this high and big one is full of tables, you can't help but drink the bowl and drink it. Pork stewed noodles, sauerkraut, sticky corn, stupid chicken, etc., are really delicious.
