One of the representatives of Shenyang’s specialty food, his bacon flatbread is very famous. It tastes very delicious and is very enjoyable to eat. His other dishes are also very representative and worth recommending.
If you have friends from other places and want to eat Li Liangui pancakes, you must go to the main store on Zhongjie Street. Although the decoration is a bit simple, the environment is a bit noisy, and the seats are a bit crowded. However, this is an old store, and eating here is all about feelings.
There are private rooms on the second floor, so you can eat with a lot of people. Eating pancakes is all about having fun. Smoked meat and smoked tripe are must-orders, and a bowl of egg drop soup is also a must. The average cost per person is 30-50 yuan. After eating, there is Liu Laogen Grand Stage next to it, where you can watch the Errenzhuan.

A snack bar with Northeastern flavors, good location, simple and clean decoration, Northeastern large rice noodles and Northeastern dumplings are the best sellers in the store, affordable, not too heavy, super delicious, great
I ate there for three consecutive days. The dishes were really big. There were many people in his family. The lady boss even asked how long it would take to finish cooking the dishes. They couldn't finish cooking them even at 22:00. There were not many seats. I ordered 2 dishes per person, so I couldn't order too much. What a pity.

A must-eat fried stew in Shenyang: Caita stir-fried stew
There's always a queue at the door, but the progress is very fast. The stews are all fried and ready to go.
There is mashed potatoes in it!
The location is at the main entrance of Caita Night Market, very easy to find.
Caita Fried Stir-fried Buns is also one of the most popular shops in Caita Night Market. Later, a store was opened on Xibinhe Street, and people also lined up to buy it. Fried stewed buns were introduced from Dalian. They are eaten while hot, especially when they are a little mushy. You can also add mashed potatoes.

It seems that Diaolu Bing is only available in cities near Shenyang. I have never eaten it in other places. Maybe it has other names in other places. The biggest advantage of this thing is that it is economical, delicious and not expensive.
A Super Detailed Guide to Shenyang from August to September
1. Best Season: Cooler, Less Crowded, and Limited Experiences
* Weather Advantages: After the Beginning of Autumn, Shenyang's average temperature reaches 22°C-28°C, making it a great escape from the summer heat (many parts of China are still experiencing scorching temperatures).
* Avoid Crowds: With the end of summer, popular attractions like the Forbidden City and the Marshal's Mansion have fewer lines, allowing for more photo opportunities.
* Limited Sights: The first hint of autumn colors on Qipan Mountain, the golden rice fields of Daomeng Space, and the withered lotus leaves reflecting on the bridges of Beiling Park—a beautiful blend of late summer and early autumn.
2. Must-See Attractions & Pitfall Avoidance Guide
* Shenyang Forbidden City (8:00 AM - 5:30 PM)
* Highlight: One of China's only two remaining imperial palaces, the Red Wall Ginkgo Avenue is a true gem in September!
* Pitfall Avoidance: Arrive early before 8:30 AM to avoid tour groups; take photos at the Ten Kings Pavilion on the east road with fewer crowds. Admission is 50 RMB, and renting Manchu costumes (50 RMB/hour) offers an even more immersive experience. * Marshal Zhang's Mansion (8:30 AM - 5:00 PM)
* Highlights: The Tiger Hall in the Grand Blue Building and the "Vault Experience" at the Border Industry Bank, both embodying the Republican era style.
* Tip: The combined ticket includes the Financial Museum, so don't buy it separately! It's closed on Mondays, so don't miss out.
* Cool and refreshing natural spots:
* Qipan Mountain: Canyon rafting and a boat cruise on the lake, a refreshing 22°C (admission 20 RMB).
* Shenyang Botanical Garden: A 24°C forest oxygen bar, a dreamy nighttime stroll through the "Light-Blurred Forest."
* Top nightlife options:
* Color TV Tower Night Market (5:00 PM - 11:00 PM): Mixed chicken racks, stir-fried simmered meats, and snow-covered bean paste, all for 30 RMB per person.
* Liu Laogen Grand Stage: Temporarily closed! Don't miss out (until August 2025). 3. A Local's Secret Food Guide
* Chicken Rack Center of the Universe:
* Lao Siji Charcoal-Grilled Chicken Rack (with Chicken Noodle Soup) | Qin Ji Mixed Chicken Rack (Sweet and Sour Spicy).
* Must-Try Time-Hot Shops:
* Laobian Dumplings (Zhongjie Branch): Juicy stir-fried dumplings, 60 yuan per person.
* Xita Cold Noodles: Freshly pressed buckwheat noodles with kimchi, and a refreshing icy broth! 25 yuan per person.
* Breakfast Ceiling:
* Qingzhen Road Hanging Oven Pancakes and Egg Cake (Grilled and Crispy) | Tendon Pancakes and Tofu Pudding (Savory and Braised).
4. Tricky Experiences & Money-Saving Tips
* Transportation:
* Airport to City Center: 40 minutes by subway; taxis between attractions start at 9 yuan, and the subway is more efficient.
* Accommodation:
* Choose the Zhongjie shopping district (near the Forbidden City/Night Market). Budget hotels are 200 yuan/night, and hot spring hotels are 400 yuan/night. * Tips:
* Don't buy the "Nurhaci Sword" in the scenic area! You can bargain for half the price at Wuai Market.
* Staying overnight at the bathhouse, including breakfast, is 39 yuan, which is better than a hotel (like Qinghe Peninsula).

Nanlu Dumpling Restaurant is a shop that has been open for many years. It is located at Lane 38, Shiyiwei Road. It is difficult to park in front of the door.
I came here at night last week. There were a lot of people in the shop. The staff was also very busy. The environment was that of an old-fashioned small restaurant. There was almost no seat when I arrived at the shop, so I packed two dumplings. It was 15 yuan per piece, vegetarian, and the taste was okay.
Thought it had venison? You were fooled! It's just the name, there are many kinds of dumpling fillings inside, and they taste very good

This snack bar is really old. It is located in Tongtian Street. The shop is not big and the pies are not very delicious. But it is always crowded. 2.5 yuan for a pie and 3 yuan for a bowl of mutton soup are also reasonable prices.
Old Shenyang people should all know this. I have also heard of it a long time ago. I happened to be shopping nearby today, so I came to try it at lunch time. It was very crowded, and you need to queue up at the door to order and pay. The main dishes are mutton soup and stuffed pancakes. The taste is absolutely amazing. The mutton soup is soft and tender, and you can add some white pepper. The taste is absolutely good. The pancakes are also delicious, with thin fillings and large fillings.

Shenyang Lao Siji is definitely a treasure restaurant in the hearts of locals. This time I came here specifically to check out their signature chicken noodle soup and chicken skeletons, and I was not disappointed! The soup base is really fresh! You can feel the rich flavor of chicken soup in one bite, which is fresh but not greasy. The noodles are chewy and elastic, fully absorbing the essence of the chicken soup, and become more delicious the more you eat them. The most surprising thing was the piece of chicken, which was so tender that it melted in your mouth, satisfying every bite.
Shenyang people’s enthusiasm for chicken racks can really be regarded as a kind of obsession! There are all kinds of fried, grilled and boiled dishes. You can imagine everything. Lao Siji is probably a brand that everyone in Shenyang knows. I have eaten at Lao Siji near Shenyang Station once before. The chicken rack is really super delicious, and as the main store here, it has a sense of history. The taste is naturally at a five-star level. The noodles this time are thin and spicy. After adding a little spicy to add soul, it is extremely delicious. I look forward to next time. Come to Shenyang and continue to eat noodles and chicken racks

A very authentic Northeastern Hui Muslim restaurant. The specialty is: Huitou, which is a must-order for every customer. It is made with 3 liang of fillings and has two kinds of fillings: meat filling and vegetarian filling. The meat filling is beef, which is fat and lean, and leaves a lingering fragrance. The vegetarian filling is leek and shrimp. After eating their Huitou, you have to eat the roasted kidney beans because this dish is my favorite.
I've eaten it a few times, and I feel that stuffed food, such as pies, pan-fried buns, and pan-fried buns, are all similar😊, hehe →_→, they are quite delicious, you can go and try them😄. .
