Things to do in Xinmin

The joy of the off-season is having a dedicated guide. For Shenbo, the guide mainly focused on the second floor. Xiao Sun explained things very carefully and comprehensively, and was able to answer some questions. He had a lot of relevant knowledge, and there was enough time.

Five stars for tour guide Xiaohan! The Beiling and Qingzhaoling mausoleums are complex, but she organized them clearly and logically, covering architecture, historical figures, and folk customs, making it engaging and not boring. She was attentive throughout the tour, providing road condition updates and was very responsible. Hiring her for a guided tour in Shenyang is a reliable choice.

The entire scenic area is quite large. It's recommended to allow 2 hours for the Imperial Palace Museum, and the outer area also includes the Northeast Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall and the M+ Park. Therefore, it's advisable to allow at least 3 hours for the entire scenic area.

The scenic area was fantastic! I explored two different routes. The shuttle bus service was excellent and very convenient; it's free after you buy your ticket. The tour guides were also very responsible, reminding me of weather changes and recommended tour times. Thumbs up! I would definitely recommend the shuttle bus service to other friends.

It was worth the ticket price; it was a great experience to try out Errenzhuan (a traditional Chinese folk art form), and it turns out there are more than just two performers! Haha! The only downside was that the seating was too cramped; anyone with long legs couldn't fit! If someone needed to use the restroom, they had to go out and give up their seat first! Also, there was the hygiene issue. After the performance, the floor was covered in trash, especially sunflower seed shells.

Benxi Water Cave is the most beautiful karst cave I've ever seen. The stalactites and stalagmites inside are diverse in style—some majestic, some precipitous, some graceful. Looking at them is truly captivating. However, you can only look; there's not much interaction involved—the entire experience is by boat. The Petrified Wood Geological Park mainly consists of petrified wood fossils, which adds a nice touch to the overall experience of the scenic area.

The parks in our great northern region are truly spacious! The "Soaring Through China" attraction at Changchun Film Studio Century City was so breathtaking and exhilarating—an immersive experience of flying through the air! I wanted more after watching it, but unfortunately, time was too tight for a second visit. Here are some tips: Plan your time well in advance, ask the staff for directions to find the best queueing routes, and queue at different times for each attraction, taking breaks in between. Don't rush; this will allow you to enjoy the experience at your own pace 😊. Unfortunately, we were having so much fun that my child's ID card slipped and got lost! Haha, a small regret. Good luck to everyone coming after us! 😂

Overall, it's alright. If you get up early, you can walk from the scenic area gate to Bijia Mountain at low tide; at high tide, you can take a speedboat. Once you reach Bijia Mountain, you need to hike, and it's not far to Sanqing Pavilion. Climbing Sanqing Pavilion requires walking uphill, passing through Pangu Square.

This place has a strong sense of history, attracting many middle-aged and elderly visitors who are nostalgic. The exhibits include film introductions from various eras, primarily using pictures, text, and video materials. It would be great if more filming locations could be added.
