Introduction

Fenghuang Tower is the tallest building in Shengjing at that time and also the highest point of the palace. Climbing up the Fenghuang Tower, one could see the entire Shenyang city. The decorative beams and frames of the Feng Tower are adorned with colorful dragon paintings on a red background. The central chamber is decorated with Sanskrit, phoenix, and seal script patterns of "endless longevity", where the emperor and empress often read or relax. The bottom layer serves as the main gate of the inner palace, serving as a passage in and out of the palace area. In fact, not only the Fenghuang Tower, but also every palace in the Shengjing palace was built on a platform of more than three meters high, surrounded by a circular wall, resembling a closed castle. This is in line with the traditional customs of the Manchu ancestors, the Jurchen people, who have long inhabited mountain areas.
