Aerial photos reveal Shenyang Imperial Palace after renovation

Aerial view shows the Shenyang Imperial Palace in Shenyang city, Northeast China's Liaoning province, on Nov 3, 2016, after its annual repair work was finished. This year's renovation mainly focused on the roofs and walls of the ancient royal building complex to recover its original look. The Shenyang Imperial Palace, the second-largest royal complex in China after the Forbidden City in Beijing, was a former imperial palace of the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List with the Forbidden City in 1987.[Photo/IC]
