Zhao Mausoleum

The Zhao Mausoleum is situated in the Beiling Park, the largest
park in Shenyang City, north to the Taishan Road in the Huanggu
District. The Zhao Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Huang Taiji
and his queen, Xiao Duan Wen Borjijite. Since it is located in the
north of Shenyang, it is also called the Northern Mausoleum.
Covering an area of 4,500,000 square meters, Zhao Mausoleum was
the largest one among the "three Mausoleums outside the Shanhaiguan
Pass" before the Qing State entered the pass, and the main
part of the Beiling Park. The Beiling Park has the East Lake, the
Youth Lake in the southeast, Fangxiu Garden in the southwest, and
sequestered trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers in the north.
The whole park boasts verdant trees and old pines reaching the sky.
