Located at the foot of Tiebei Mountain, 30 km east of Fushun, this tomb was built by Zhang Xueliang for his father and Manchurian warlord Zhang Zuolin (1873-1928). The tomb has the architecture style of the ancient emperor tombs. Since Zhang Zuolin was "a Defending Marshal of the Country" during his lifetime, the tomb was named Marshal Tomb Forest (Yuanshuai Lin). Zhang Zuolin was fatally injured when Japanese troops blew up his train so actually the tomb is empty.
The surrounding Yuanshuai (Marshal) Forest is located at the north side of Dahuofang Reservoir. It has a picturesque landscape and is a favorite among visitors to the Fushun area.
