Before entering Guanmenshan Forest Park, we took a boat tour of Huancui Lake. In the morning, there was a bit of fog, making Huancui Lake appear ethereal and breathtakingly beautiful. In mid-October, the red and green leaves complement each other beautifully, creating a mesmerizing scene.
Main Scenic Areas: The park comprises four main scenic areas: Xiaohuangshan, Jializi, Longmenxia, and Yuetaizi, totaling 108 attractions. Xiaohuangshan Scenic Area focuses on mountain climbing and rock appreciation; Jializi Scenic Area features streams, koi carp, and black swans; Longmenxia Scenic Area boasts numerous maple trees, including the "King of Maple Trees"; and Yuetaizi Scenic Area is a major autumn foliage viewing area. Guanmenshan National Forest Park is a national 4A-level tourist attraction located in Benxi Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province.

Early winter is a quiet time with few tourists. The scenic area is beautiful. A ticket is required for the shuttle bus (20 yuan per person), which runs on a hop-on-hop basis, averaging one bus every 10 minutes – very convenient and excellent value. Walking around the entire scenic area would be too strenuous for people of average physical ability.
Jingyuetan is a beautiful lake, and it is a sister lake to Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan. It is a bit cold in winter, so be sure to dress warmly. It is a great place to visit in summer. It is a natural oxygen bar, and the surrounding area is relatively convenient for dining and accommodation. The park is very large, and you can visit it and then stay overnight in Changchun city.

The scenery is very beautiful, and the mountains in the scenic area are not difficult to climb, but the scenery at the top of the mountain is particularly good. However, the transportation is not very convenient. It took a long time to get there by car. I hope that the high-speed rail can be built to the vicinity in the future to make it easier for everyone to travel.
It took a 2.5-hour drive from Dandong to reach Wunü Mountain. We began our hike at 2:30 PM. It happened to rain that morning, so we were lucky enough to see the misty sea of clouds and the lake below. The climb was relatively easy, and it took about 40 minutes to reach the summit. However, there was a major problem. It wasn't explained clearly beforehand: the thousand-year-old Goguryeo city wall is located near the South Gate. It can only be seen from the West Gate, along the One-Line Sky Plank Road to the South Gate. For safety reasons, the One-Line Sky Plank Road closes at 4 PM, so we didn't get to see it that day. This wasn't explained clearly at the ticket office, and I hope this will be improved in the future.

Siping Nanhu Park, located on Nanxinhua Street in Tiexi District, Siping City, is an urban landscape park centered around an artificial lake. The park features wooden corridors, a lotus-themed pavilion, and a lakeside island pavilion, among other scenic structures. In spring, it is characterized by peach blossoms and willows, while from late May to late August, apricot blossoms are in full bloom. In winter, the lake is used as a training area for ice sports, and the park, along with surrounding cultural and tourism resources, forms part of the city's green space network. It is a popular destination for both young people and senior citizens.
I followed the map from Trip, it shows that the closest metro is from Dongbeishida. But there is actually another metro not too far away from the park: Nonggongguangchang Metro. Be ready to walk for a long time if you are taking a metro. The scenery in the park is quite nice. Some trees have turned yellow and red.

Compared to a tourist attraction, it's actually more like a large park. During the day, many people come to sing, dance, and hold activities, making it serve a better purpose.
It's not very large; you can see everything in about an hour. I booked a guided tour through Ctrip, which helped me better understand the historical background and stories. There are also official guided tours available, but if you just walk around on your own, you might not remember much.
If you have the time, I think it's worth setting aside 1-2 hours in the morning to stroll around, take a walk, and learn about the history.
The guide Ms Zhang was very knowledgeable and patient with my questions. Was a good and enjoyable tour of the mausoleum and park.

Shenyang and the Forbidden City in Beijing are considered the only two imperial city complexes in China.
Shenyang looks like a mini version, or rather, a youthful mini version.
Some of the content is off-topic, but it's enough to spend a morning exploring.
I visited the Shenyang Imperial Palace once before, just browsing around on my own. It wasn't a long trip, and I felt I didn't understand much. This time, I specifically chose to visit Shenyang last weekend and booked a guided tour on Ctrip, also including Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence and the Governor's Mansion, which I hadn't visited before.
The guided tour was very helpful. It provided detailed information on the history and background of the Imperial Palace, the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion, as well as the architectural styles and functions, and introductions to relevant historical figures, interspersed with anecdotes. The guide was a young woman, but she was very professional and enthusiastic.
Saturday was incredibly crowded, even the guide was puzzled. The Imperial Palace and the Governor's Mansion aren't very large, and the crowds made many places very cramped, especially the indoor areas. It was practically shoulder-to-shoulder, making it difficult to even get a quick look around, which significantly impacted the experience.
Overall, the Imperial Palace and the Governor's Mansion are definitely worth visiting, and you don't need much time; you can see them all in less than half a day. The Governor's Mansion felt more like an exhibition hall and wasn't very good value for money.

In Qianshan, Anshan, there is no urban hustle and bustle, only towering peaks and uniquely shaped rocks that complement each other, resembling a flowing Chinese ink painting. Every spring, autumn, winter, and summer, Qianshan welcomes travelers with different faces: spring brings a riot of flowers, summer a sea of green, autumn ablaze with red leaves, and winter a snow-covered landscape of pines. It is not just a mountain, but a slowly unfolding natural scroll, captivating visitors and making them reluctant to leave.
Autumn in Qianshan is arguably the most beautiful time of year, especially with the ancient ginkgo trees as a backdrop. Wuliang Temple and Longquan Temple are particularly recommended. Qianshan's overall service facilities are now very comprehensive. However, it would be helpful to improve the service awareness and work attitude of some staff members.

This is a pet-friendly attraction that Xiaohongshu highly recommends. The scenic area is not large, but the scenery is beautiful. It can be visited in half a day and is suitable for traveling with pets. My timid dog was scared by the aerial drifting, so it is not recommended for timid dogs.
I went there today, and some of the red leaves 🍁 have dried up. The air rafting is awesome, and the raincoat is very good and won't get wet at all. My child and I played it twice; the speed zipline was also enjoyed by the child three times, and the mountain slide and jungle crossing were also experienced, which is not very wallet-friendly 😂
Maple Mountain Duodao is really as beautiful as an oil painting, and there are few people. This is the only moment today that I regretted not bringing a SLR! If you are here to enjoy the maple leaves, promise me that you must go!

Chagan Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Jilin Province. Its vast expanse is vibrant in the summer, making for a relaxing boat tour. The surrounding area boasts a wealth of cultural attractions, making it a must-see for those passing through Songyuan.
[Fun] The most interesting thing this year is the brother who runs a dog-drawn sled in Chagan Lake. On the surface, the dog is working, but in fact, the brother is the one who does the hard work. The dog is distracted, selling orders, and eating snow.
[Scenery] There is an endless lake, and there is winter fishing that has been passed down from the Liao Dynasty to the present. The scene is quite spectacular.
[Value for money] Because my home is in Songyuan, I can drive directly to the site of the winter fishing activity. I didn’t buy tickets, so the value for money is very high.
There is also a performance team here. If you are lucky, you can see the performance.
The winter fishing time of Chagan Lake is from December to January of the following year. There is no winter fishing for half a month before and after the Spring Festival.

Suitable for family leisure hiking. There were not too many people going on May 2nd, and local residents did not need tickets!
The guide signs in the scenic area are not very complete. I couldn't find it anywhere, so I just walked blindly with the crowd. I hope the signs can be improved!
I hope the operator will continue to improve the sightseeing facilities to give full play to the charm of so many cliff carvings!
It is definitely worth a visit. Although it is a relic from the Qing Dynasty, it is not very old, but because of this, the statues on the mountain are well preserved and worth a visit. It is not tiring either, the cliff sculpture area is halfway up the mountain, and you can see it without climbing to the top of the mountain.
