With improved roads within the city, motor traffic has made tremendous strides during the last year or two.
an
Nurhachu, the founder of the Manchu dynasty, established himself at Mukden in 1625, and his tomb (the Tungling, Eastern tomb), about seven miles east of the city, is object of great interest. The great mound and funeral hall are enclosed within a high wall pierced by one large gateway which holds three arched portals, and the avenue of approach is spanned by two lofty stone arches elaborately sculptured. Two massive couchant lions guard the portal. Nurhachu's son is buried at the Peiling (Northern tomb); about four miles to the north of the city. Both the tombs can be reached by motor car from Mukden. The tomb is similar in arrangement to the Tungling. There are many other objects of Manchu historical interest in the
the town and its vicinity. Mukden possesses good hotel accommodation for foreign visitors. The large Yamato Hotel, built by the South Manchuria Railway, was opened in the Spring of 1929.
