Xinle Remains
Xinle Remains is the site of a 7,200-year-old aboriginal society in which authority was held by women. Of all the relics unearthed at the site, a woodcarving of a bird is the most famous and precious, because it is the oldest such relic found not only in Shenyang but in the entire world.
Taiqing Palace
Originally built in 1663, Taiqing Palace, which houses the Shenyang Taoism Association, is the center of Taoism in Northeast China.
Ci'en Temple
The most important site in Shenyang for Buddhists is Ci'en Temple, which was built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It is now the center for the Shenyang Buddhism Association.
Shisheng Temple
In 1636, Shisheng Temple was built to the specifications of an emperor in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1919), therefore it is also called Huang Temple (Royal Temple). It is the largest temple of Tibetan Buddhism in the city.
South Mosque
Located at Xiaoxi Road of Shenhe District, Shenyang South Mosque is the largest Islamic mosque in Shenyang, with an area of 7,482 sq m (8,948 sq yd) and the most prestigious one in northeastern China. Although the exact year of construction is unknown, it is sure that it has already existed before the throne period of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Tie Shuaiwu, a general who made outstanding military exploits for the Qing Dynasty, spent his money to build this mosque.
Facing east, the mosque is a quadrangle courtyard complex centered by the prayer hall. The main architecture includes Main Hall, Prayer Hall, Moon Sighting Tower, and Rear Hall. The Moon Sighting Tower measures 98 feet high and has three floors. Other buildings include the north and south lecture halls, tea room and shower rooms, all of which are decorated with typically religious and ethnic motifs.
The south mosque has become an Islamic center in Shenyang. It holds grand religious events each time there is any Islamic festival like Corban Festival. It is also a place which frequently receives visitors from Islamic countries.
