Hetuala town is located in Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County,16 sq km west of the county.Hetuala is a Manchu language meaning horizontal hill.It is well known at home and abroad not only because Nuerhachi,the founder of Qing Dynasty was born here but also it is the first capital of Latter Jin.It is named as the first capital of Qing.

Hetuala Town is also called Old Town. It is surrounded by water on three sides. In olden times, Hetuala had more than 100 thousand inhabitants. In the town, the construction was brilliant, culture flourished and the market was very busy. However, the Old Town was destroyed by fighting between Japan and Russia at the start of the 20th Century.

Today, it has been reconstructed in its historical appearance with some relics:
The Well of the Khan, which is called as “limitless holy well”, still has a clear spring, and the water tastes very good.

In the adjacent house, with a history of over 260 years, the living habits of Manchurian people are still maintained. Inside is a dangling cart, which shows vividly the folk custom of “bringing up children by the dangling cart”. However, there is a cloth tiger sleeping in the dangling cart today.

In the China Manchurian Folklore Garden of the Old Town, a group of youths are performing a Manchurian dance. They integrate beauty with roughness seamlessly. Xin Yanjie, head of the group, explained that all the performers are local peasants, and they stage four performances, each lasting 20 minutes. Among the spectators are some foreigners who admired their dancing postures and dress and adornment. Mr. Xin held the wish that one day the original Manchurian dance will grace the international dancing stage.
