Sarhu Scenic Area
萨尔浒风景区
The site of the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Sarhu, set beside Dahuofang Reservoir, with mountain forests, lake views, and autumn foliage.
The Sarhu Scenic Area lies on the east side of Fushun, on the west bank of Dahuofang Reservoir. In 1619, Nurhaci defeated a larger Ming army here with a smaller force, in the event known as the Battle of Sarhu, which marked a turning point between the Ming and Qing dynasties. The scenic area includes the ancient battlefield ruins, the Jiefan City ruins, viewing platforms, and forest trails. Autumn foliage combines with lake views, and in summer it is a favourite retreat for city residents. Admission follows the scenic area's published prices. Driving there is recommended.
