As early as in 1800, the city gained this name, though not as a capital then. I could not more information about its name before that time, or probably it didn't have any at all, for the history of the city is very short comparatively .

It's important to mention that in March 1932, the so called Manchuria changed the name of Changchun into 新京 or "New Capital" which lasted for a brief of period only.

(Anyone here know more about the info behind the name? Please fill me in:-)) Thanks.

Thank you, Roger for the encouragement:-), I should have know how hard it would become when I started Shenyang, but I guess it's too late to go back:-), so I will continue.

Many thanks for your attention.:-)
