MUKDEN

A93

With improved roads within the city, motor traffic has made tremendous strides during the last year or two, but petrol restrictions now limit the extent to which cars may be used.

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 an 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 sculp- tured. 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 arrange- ment to the Tungling. There are many other objects of Manchu historical interest in the town and its vicinity. Mukden possesses good but limited hotel accommoda- tion for foreign visitors. The large Yamato Hotel, built by the South Manchuria Railway, was opened in the Spring of 1929. A new 18 hole golf course was opened in 1938 near Tungling.
