Almost 30 years after closing, Phoenix Tower at the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum recently welcomed its first group of tourists.
Built in the early 17th century, the tower once served as the conference room and grand banquet hall for Huangtaiji, the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and was then the tallest building in the city.
