It's surprising that the Forbidden City is so small despite being called the Forbidden City. There are still many tourists who come here just for the name. Even on non-holidays, there are still a lot of tourists, mostly elderly people.
This time I came to the Forbidden City to fulfill my dream. I was unable to visit it last year due to special reasons. This time I specially arranged a two-day trip to Beijing. Overall, it was good. In addition to its historical significance, the service staff also answered all my questions and were very humane. There were many places to rest. I like it.

The Zhang Xueliang Former Residence, also known as the Zhang Family Marshal's Mansion, the Grand Marshal's Mansion, or the Young Marshal's Mansion, is located at No. 46, Shaoshuaifu Lane, Chaoyang Street, Shenhe District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. It served as both the official and private residence of Zhang Zuolin and his eldest son, Zhang Xueliang. It covers a total area of 36,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 27,600 square meters. It is currently a patriotic education base at the provincial and municipal levels, and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. The architectural styles vary, including traditional Chinese, a fusion of Chinese and Western styles, Romanesque, Nordic, and Japanese. The Zhang Xueliang Former Residence includes several cultural relics, including a three-story courtyard, the Grand Green Building, the Small Green Building, and the former residence of Zhao Yidi. It is one of the largest and best-preserved celebrity residences in Northeast China.
The weather is hot in August, so visitors tend to flock to it during the summer vacation. It is conveniently located near Shenyang's busiest street, Zhongjie, for easy access.
It was quite clean, so I was assured. The floor and tabletops were dust-free, and the bedding looked freshly changed, with no odor. The bathroom sink and toilet were also meticulously cleaned, making for a very comfortable stay.

There are many entertainment projects, such as the big pendulum and the space shuttle, which are all very fun. This time, some small rapids and small pendulums have been added, so children can also have a lot of fun.

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.

A trip from Beijing to Benxi's Laobiangou was filled with surprises. The air was exceptionally fresh, and the scenery along the way made the walk less tiring. The mountains and rivers were picturesque. By the gurgling stream, I enjoyed the pure beauty of nature. Next month, when the leaves turn red, Laobiangou will undoubtedly transform into a vibrant palette of colors, a beauty that will leave you wanting to linger.
The ancient town is green and lush, with mountains, water and pavilions. It is a rare place for leisure. A pleasant day with a panoramic view of the scenery along the way. It is a good place with good scenery.

It was a great experience. The service was excellent. The attractions were good. I tried the indoor rafting, which was great. The fish spa was nice, with its small fish and water guns. The breakfast at the Suifeng restaurant and the food on the third floor of the hot springs were also very impressive and good.
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❤

I forgot to leave a review. The scenic area is great, the cave is particularly beautiful, and the boat ride was a delightful one. There's a lake right afterward, the water is crystal clear and full of fish.
The life jackets do have a strong odor, though; I recommend cleaning them regularly.
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.

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.
刘老根大舞台原来叫沈阳大舞台。是专业演出京评剧的地方。后来赵本山火了，后来电视剧刘老根火了，这里就给赵本山拿下来变成赵家班演出二人转的地方。由于地理位置优越，靠近中街和沈阳故宫，颇具旅游价值。很多外乡人到了沈阳都要看看。

The scenery is pleasant, but the staff arranged by Ctrip this time are too bad. Tianchi is okay, but when checking the tickets, I found that the ticket for the 13th is half price. The rafting is even more outrageous. I booked a ticket on Ctrip, and it cost 15 yuan per person for rafting and returning to the destination (less than three kilometers) in a van that has been in use for many years. It cost 60 yuan for four people. What's more interesting is that the life jackets were so dirty that they were about to have worms. I also had to buy a disposable waterproof jacket, which was another 15 yuan. I was definitely ripped off all the way. If Ctrip continues to do this, I will never dare to book again!
My second visit to Changbai Mountain, due to its proximity, I chose to view Tianchi Lake from its west slope. I was lucky enough to see the entire lake both times. The water itself was so far away that it wasn't particularly impressive, but it was the vibrant colors of the volcanic flanks that made it stand out. Perhaps due to the mineral richness, the vegetation on the slopes was a vibrant green, a typical 555nm green. At the foot of the mountain, I even encountered a pair of affectionate chipmunks. They weren't afraid of people and were incredibly adorable.

It is worth a visit. I chose the end of September, which is not the peak season, but there are still many people. The scenic area is well-equipped and well-equipped. It is very convenient to buy tickets online and enter the park by swiping your ID card.
The moment I stepped into the Shenyang Museum, I was enveloped by a strange tranquility. Beneath the soaring dome, light, like a messenger of time, gently shone upon the neatly arranged display cases. Behind glass barriers, the artifacts—gold embroidery on Qing Dynasty dragon robes, charred wood carvings from the Xinle Ruins, and ritual instruments from the Bronze Age—rested peacefully. Meticulously labeled, scientifically illuminated, and temperature-controlled, they evoked a unique museum-like "perfect solitude."
As I left the exhibition hall, the setting sun filtered through the vast glass curtain wall, bathing the entire museum in a golden glow. I realized that the true value of a museum lies not in the number of "objects" it preserves, but in its ability to inspire visitors to make the leap from "viewing" to "understanding." History is not a sealed specimen but a memory that needs to be activated. Those glass display cases are both barriers and windows. The key lies in our willingness to unlock them with the key of imagination, allowing the artifacts to breathe again and history to speak once more.
What the Shenyang Museum ultimately left me with was not the memory of the artifacts themselves, but the revelation of a method: true historical understanding occurs when the viewer's soul trembles, when the glimmer of the past illuminates the present of our existence through the intermediary of objects.
