Unwind with a calm, sleep-friendly journey through China's greatest cities — their history, culture, food, and people, told in a soothing, unhurried voice. Perfect for relaxing, winding down, or drifting off to sleep. Shenyang — the capital of Liaoning province and the largest city in China's northeast — remembers everything. From its days as Mukden, heart of the Manchu homeland, through the warlord era of Zhang Zuolin and the Young Marshal Zhang Xueliang, to its rebirth as one of China's great industrial cities, this is the story of a city where the past is never really past. A 37-minute deep dive into Shenyang, China: the Manchu homeland and former Qing capital, Mukden Palace, the warlord era of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang, and the rise of one of China's great industrial cities — plus Dongbei food, the economy, and the people of Liaoning's capital.
