As a national historical and cultural city with 2300 years of history, Shenyang was once known as "the birthplace of one empire and two generations of emperors". As China's most important equipment manufacturing-based heavy industry base, it is praised as "the eldest son of the Republic" and the "Oriental Ruhr".

As China's equipment manufacturing base, Shenyang has created numerous records. Known for its industrial development in modern times, it has earned the reputation as the "equipment master of the Republic". Covering 39 of the 41 industrial categories in the country, Shenyang has created more than 200 "No.1" records in New China 's Industrial History.

As a regional central city and an important transportation and communication hub in China, Shenyang boasts advanced transportation and dense road networks, the largest airport in China's northeastern region, China's largest railway marshalling station. Rich in scientific research resources and human talents, Shenyang is the home to 47 full-time ordinary institutions of higher learning, 107 independent research and development institutions including Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation, and Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Metal Research and one of eight pilot areas for China's comprehensive innovation reform.
