After visiting the Forbidden City in Beijing, I went to Shenyang to see the Forbidden City. It is not as large as the Forbidden City in Beijing, but it is very distinctive. The architecture has a strong ethnic flavor. The tiles are yellow and green, and it has the flavor of the prairie. The characteristics of the Forbidden City in Shenyang are that the front court is low and the back palace is high. The Phoenix Tower and the Ten Kings Court are very distinctive.
A must-see attraction in Shenyang. The Shenyang Palace Museum, formerly known as the "Three Eastern Provinces Museum," is located within the Shenyang Palace complex. Also known as the Shengjing Imperial Palace, the Shenyang Palace was also known during the Qing Dynasty as the Shengjing Palace, the Auxiliary Capital Palace, the Liudu Palace, or the Fengtian Palace. Construction began in 1625 during the reign of Nurhaci and was completed in 1636 during the reign of Huang Taiji. Later renovations and additions during the reigns of Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong resulted in its current complex, comprising over 100 palaces, pavilions, and halls, encompassing over 500 rooms and covering an area of 60,000 square meters. This was the first majestic imperial palace complex of the Qing Dynasty, imbued with a rich and varied Manchu style and Northeastern Chinese characteristics.

One of the recommended attractions for tourists in Shenyang is Zhang Xueliang's former residence. It is probably because of the summer vacation that there are many people. You can only look at the exterior of the big brothel, but you can enter the small brothel. We also visited the Bianye Bank next to it. It is good to learn a lot of financial knowledge.
It's quite large, with brothels and old houses. During peak hours, it can get quite crowded, a bit hot, and a bit crowded. I spent a bit longer exploring because I was looking around more carefully.

The scenery is beautiful, the primeval forest is a natural oxygen bar, and the Jinjiang cabin is very comfortable to stay in. The experience is very good. It is a good place for summer leisure and vacation. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Changbai Mountain is beautiful, with breathtaking scenery. Free buses (numbers 1, 2, and 3) run directly from the high-speed rail station to the scenic area entrance. The visitor center offers free luggage storage. Corn is 5 yuan per head, instant noodles are 15 yuan per bowl, and ginseng milk is 20 yuan per cup. Grilled cold noodles are 15 yuan per portion, and grilled sweet potatoes are 20 yuan each.

Changchun's Jingyuetan Lake boasts beautiful scenery and fresh air, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. However, some facilities appear dated, signage is unclear, and dining options are limited. We recommend upgrading infrastructure, adding more signage, and diversifying the dining options to enhance the visitor experience.
My bag is filled with the spring of the north, and the snow and wind turn the journey into a warm dust.
The moonlight over Songjiang shines on the mountain roads, and the smoke-filled streets and alleys warm the traveler's dreams.
Let us trust that good luck will temporarily bring us back to Changchun, where spring will return.
This farewell is not a thousand miles away, but we will surely meet again on a beautiful day.
—We will meet again someday, and all the mountains and seas will be warm✨

Shenyang Fantawild is a true paradise! The thrilling rides are incredibly exciting, like the Fire Meteor roller coaster, which screams at lightning speed, and the warm and romantic carousel, which feels like being transported to a fairytale. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the experience is fantastic. I highly recommend it!
Fantawild's attractions are amazing! The roller coaster is so thrilling, the 4D cinema is incredibly realistic, the scenery is dreamy and out of this world, and the staff are so welcoming. One day is definitely not enough!

The Liaoning Provincial Museum has a large collection of exhibits, and the explanations are very detailed and informative. I learned a lot from the two and a half hour explanation. I thank the tour guide for his wonderful explanation.
I finally had the chance to visit the Liaoning Provincial Museum, a provincial museum jointly built by the national and local governments. It had been on my wish list for a long time, but I finally managed to pull it off today. Since its relocation to the new building in Hunnan District, Shenyang, the exhibition area has been greatly expanded, allowing more of the museum's collection to be seen, which is definitely a major benefit. I confirmed before the trip that the museum's true treasures were all at home, not traveling or on loan. However, the finest paintings and calligraphy were digitized and displayed in VR, so I couldn't see them in person. The Liaoning Provincial Museum is absolutely not to be missed.

The night show is more interesting. Tickets are checked in at 16:30 and there will be NPC interactions at the entrance. The Shanhaijing Wonderful Night Show starts at 19:30, and there will be singing and interactive activities at the front to warm up the audience. If you want a good seat, enter early to get a seat. Remember to bring a raincoat because there will be a rain spray session. Umbrellas are sold on site for 35, which is too expensive.
Before going, I read the reviews and didn't buy daytime tickets, only the night show. I found the venue quite small and the equipment quite old. The evening show was quite good, and the fireworks were beautiful. But why are there discounts for children and college students, but not for middle and high school students? These children get discounts elsewhere, so why are children and adults priced the same here?

The scenery of the scenic spot is very beautiful and very beautiful; the whole Maple Leaf Valley is about 8 kilometers, the middle is a small stream, the stream is very clear, there are large stones with green moss in the water, and the photos are very good and there is a free bus!
Benxi Laobiangou, where the most authentic summer in Liaodong is hidden. The Wizard of Oz without filters. Come to Laobiangou, leave the summer heat to the city, and give your body and mind to the 27-degree summer.

Thanks to the rafting guy who pulled us out and helped me find my glasses. 🙏🙏🙏. The rafting waves were so thrilling. So much fun. The park is so huge. One day is definitely not enough to explore. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The service is great! No words can express my excitement at this moment❤
My kids loved it here, playing from 10 AM to 6 PM and still wanting more. It wasn't crowded the day we went, so it was a great experience.
You can order lunch a la carte, and the spicy hot pot and beef noodles were both delicious.
The only problem was that towels were only available at the entrance, so you had to walk quite a distance to get a new one...

The water cave is ok, you don't need to rent a coat, just wear long pants and long sleeves with a disposable raincoat. (Mid-August) The dry cave is boring, the Taizi River cruise takes 20 minutes, and you can only stay in the cabin.
This five-star scenic spot truly lives up to its reputation. The boat ride gave me a truly unforgettable experience of nature's wonders. It's a gift from heaven to the locals. We visited the petrified wood and the museum, both of which were okay. I wouldn't recommend riding the petrified wood train, as it's not spacious enough. We went there because we had children with us.
