    I went in thinking I'd already been there, but I was surprised to find the park's rich attractions and dazzling merchandise. The vast rice paddies are beautifully decorated. There are many educational and entertaining activities, making it a great place for children. It can be quite crowded on holidays, but be prepared for long parking spots.

    5 out of 10! The Liaoning Provincial Museum is Shenyang's hidden cultural treasure; a whole day isn't enough! As the first museum in New China, the Liaoning Provincial Museum truly embodies the spirit of "understated yet rich in content"! Free admission and directly accessible by Metro Line 2 (Exit D, just a 150-meter walk), it's incredibly convenient, requiring no navigation. The architecture is magnificent and grand, with a clear exhibition layout. The 22 exhibition halls cover 17 categories of collections, including prehistoric culture, Liao Dynasty artifacts, and calligraphy and painting masterpieces, with over 115,000 artifacts to explore—a paradise for history buffs! The must-see exhibits are truly breathtaking! The white jade pig-dragon from the Hongshan Culture is exquisite; its rounded shape is both ancient and mysterious, a marvel of 5,000-year-old carving techniques. Zhang Xu's "Four Poems in Ancient Style" features unrestrained cursive script; even the ink smudges are clearly visible under magnification, exuding the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty. There's also the Murong Xianbei's gold hairpin shaped like a flowering tree and the Yongzheng kiln-fired red-glazed pomegranate-shaped vase—both aesthetically pleasing and historically significant. For a deeper understanding, I recommend renting a VR audio guide for 50 yuan. It not only provides detailed explanations but also comes with a postcard, making it far more rewarding than wandering around aimlessly. Don't miss the volunteer guides either, as they are packed with information! The exhibition hall is vast, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Allow at least 3-4 hours for a leisurely visit. There's a restaurant on the first floor for a light meal, and the "Hairpin Flower" series of souvenirs in the cultural and creative area are very attractive—perfect for gifts or personal enjoyment. The only minor drawback is that some of the museum's most prized artifacts (such as the "Auspicious Cranes" painting) may be temporarily closed for conservation purposes; check the official website for announcements before you go. Whether you're introducing history to your children or experiencing cultural heritage with friends, the Liaoning Provincial Museum is worth visiting multiple times! Every artifact here tells a story spanning thousands of years. After a visit, you'll be deeply moved by the profoundness of Chinese culture. Don't miss it when you're in Shenyang!

    This attraction is incredibly crowded with tour groups, so I recommend individual travelers arrive early or late, otherwise you'll be pushed around by the crowds in every room. The smaller building isn't as grand as the main building, but the overall architecture is quite unique.

    It's definitely worth a visit; the exhibits are very rich. The underground bank and the heavy iron gates are all historical sites worth exploring. The banknotes from various countries are also beautiful, and it's a great way to broaden your knowledge and expand your horizons.

    I was the only visitor this time, and the guide was incredibly attentive! She explained everything very thoroughly, highlighting key artifacts and emphasizing their importance. The two-hour tour lasted a full two hours, and she even answered all my questions. The Shenyang Museum has many worthwhile artifacts to see, and this tour was truly well worth listening to!

    Visiting the Governor's Palace allows you to learn about history, see China's development, and appreciate their efforts. It's quite impressive. There are very few visitors here, but those under 70 years old need to buy a ticket.

    The tour guide was incredibly experienced, with over 20 years of experience. He could effortlessly recount various historical accounts, both official and unofficial, and his interaction with the audience was excellent. However, his speaking speed was too fast, which made it a bit tiring for me, a Chinese speaker.

    With its renowned reputation, it's a must-see when visiting Shenyang. Here are a few details to share. Without spoiling anything, the Liu Laogen Grand Stage is now labeled a "Green Errenzhuan" (two-person opera) production, which doesn't affect the quality of the performances. However, locals also recommend the Nanfeng Grand Theater, claiming it's more grounded in Errenzhuan (though I didn't go). Liu Laogen is more expensive, as you'll usually see some of the people you see on TV. When it comes to ticket purchases, Liu Laogen's process is somewhat of a hybrid of online and offline, unlike the usual practice. You can buy tickets in advance through the official ticket app, but the offline ticket booth doesn't open until 10 a.m. on the morning of the show to select and collect your seats. This means if you don't select your seat early and wait until showtime to redeem your ticket, you'll only be assigned the last seat in that section. You can also buy tickets offline early, and you can choose your ideal seat, but there's a chance that a large number of people who buy tickets online in advance will sell out early (this situation shouldn't be very likely). Buying tickets through mainstream platforms like Ctrip doesn't require or require offline seat selection; the system automatically assigns tickets, but you still have to go to the ticket window to redeem them. I feel like the seats you're assigned are generally in the middle row, not the closest seats (because I bought my ticket as soon as it became available at 12 a.m., and still ended up in the middle row). As for other details, the theater has a snack and souvenir shop with reasonable prices. You can also scan the QR code at your seat to buy, and a staff member will bring it to your scanned location. If you arrive early, there's a warm-up performance at the theater entrance.

    When you come to Zhongjie, you just don't want to leave. You can't stop shopping. Food, entertainment, culture, history, everything can be explored for a whole day. The scenery is beautiful and there is no lack of fun.

    The price was reasonable, and the middle row was great for viewing. The show was engaging and hilarious, and the finale, featuring interactive performances and acrobatics, was truly breathtaking. The Nanfeng restrooms were shabby and poorly maintained, and for such a large audience, improvements are needed.
