Why is Shenyang called "an important town in Northeast China"?

Because Shenyang is the largest central city in Northeast China and the core city of Shenyang Economic Zone (Shenyang Metropolitan Area) under construction. Located in the center of Northeast Asia Economic Circle and Bohai Economic Circle, it has a complete range of industries and an important strategic position. Shenyang is one of the key national heavy industry bases in the early days of the People's Republic of China.

Shenyang is a national historical and cultural city, the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, and is known as "one birthplace, the capital of two emperors". 1625, the Qing emperor Nurhachi moved the capital here, Huang taiji established the capital, and the Qing Dynasty in China was established here. This is a turning point in the history of Shenyang, from a small military health center to Shengjing Imperial City, one of the two major capitals of the Qing Dynasty, and it began to become the central city of Northeast China.

After the founding of New China, Shenyang became an important heavy industry base in China, focusing on equipment manufacturing. Known as the "Equipment Department of the Republic of China", "the eldest son of the Republic of China" and "Oriental Ruhr".
