Setting and landscape
Xinhua describes the district as part of the Liaodong hill country, in the transition zone between the Liao (辽河) and Hun rivers, with low mountains in the east, hills in the middle and plain in the west. The climate is a warm-temperate, semi-humid monsoon climate with four clear seasons and around 2,500 hours of sunshine a year.
History and heritage
Several of Shenyang's municipal protected sites are in Sujiatun. Two monuments recall the Battle of Mukden (奉天会战) in the Russo-Japanese War: a monument to the Japanese Fourth Army on Yanlong Mountain (烟龙山) in Shahe (沙河), dated 1911, and a memorial to fallen Russian soldiers at Weijialou (魏家楼), dated 1912. Both were listed in 1985, together with a Han-dynasty site at Weijialouzi (魏家楼子).
The 2013 list added the remains of two walled settlements: Fengjipu (奉集堡) at Chenxiangtun (陈相屯), used in the Liao-Jin and Ming periods, and the Ming-era Hupiyi (虎皮驿) at Shilihe (十里河). Han sites at Ma'ershan (马耳山) and Xiaobaotun (小堡屯) in Yaoqianhutun (姚千户屯) were listed the same year.
Food and local products
Yongle grapes (永乐葡萄), from Yongle subdistrict (永乐街道), have been a national geographical-indication product since 2010. The variety is a seedless "white chicken heart" grape (无核白鸡心) bred in 1984 by growers in Yongle together with Shenyang Agricultural University (沈阳农业大学): large, long berries with thin skins, thick flesh and a sweet-sour taste. Xinhua describes one Huzhu (互助村) village grower's berries as weighing 8 to 12 grams and ripening yellow-green, crisp, with a hint of rose in the sweet-sour taste. Most are grown in Huzhu and Xiaohantai (小韩台村) villages, and growers across Yongle subdistrict also raise other varieties such as Shine Muscat (阳光玫瑰).
