Stepping into Shenyang Imperial Palace, one is immediately drawn to the upturned rooftops, brimming with the flavor of old Shengjing (Shenyang). The gray-blue palace walls enclose a rustic world, the octagonal roof of the Dazheng Hall holds stories of the Eight Banners' descendants, and beside the railings of the Phoenix Tower, one can almost imagine the emperors who once stood here. Every brick and every tile exudes the boldness of the Northeast and the refinement of the Central Plains. Wandering around, one can feel the centuries of history accumulated in this old city, which is truly captivating.

A very nice tourist attraction. Zhang Xueliang's former residence features both a traditional Chinese-style three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) and Western-style buildings, including the large and small green buildings. Zhao Yidi's former residence is also open to visitors. The 18 yuan entrance fee is truly reasonable. The exhibition on Zhang Xueliang's later life is also very well arranged. While events like the Northeast Flag Change, the July 7th Incident, and the Xi'an Incident seem distant, seeing that Zhang Xueliang used similar small appliances and liked cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse in his later years makes this historical figure feel closer to us, prompting reflection.
I was very satisfied with my stay at the hotel. The facilities were complete, and the place was very clean. The bathroom had a separate shower and toilet. The room was in a great location, spacious, and had excellent heating. The front desk staff were friendly and polite, and check-in and check-out were quick. The location is excellent, with very convenient transportation. There's a pedestrian street downstairs with tons of food options, making shopping very convenient. It's also close to shopping malls and the subway station is within walking distance.

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!
The Liaoning Provincial Museum is a treasure trove, housing countless artifacts. From the jade pig-dragon of the Hongshan Culture to the tricolor arhats of the Liao Dynasty, from authentic calligraphy and paintings by Tang and Song Dynasty masters to the lustrous glazes of Ming and Qing Dynasty imperial porcelain, each piece holds the secrets of time. Strolling through the exhibition halls is like traveling through a thousand years: the warmth and smoothness of the Hongshan jade artifacts feel almost tangible, the colors of the Liao Dynasty murals remain vibrant, and the patterns on the bronzes are etched with the marks of civilization. Without traveling far, you can encounter the brilliance of Chinese culture within a small space; a whole day is not enough, and each visit reveals new discoveries.

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❤

Visiting Benxi Water Cave is like stepping into an underground epic written over millions of years. In the symphony of darkness and flowing water, we often gain insights that transcend the scenery itself. When you return to the surface from the underground world, the moment sunlight shines in, you might feel a kind of rebirth—not a sudden change in life, but a subtle shift in your perspective on your own journey. The stalactites continue to grow in the darkness, and you will carry their metaphors on your journey. You will find yourself settling within the flow of time, resiliently breaking through obstacles, and seeing complete meaning in the interplay of light and shadow.
This is the most precious gift Benxi Water Cave offers: it allows you to become an explorer of your own story, searching for your own ray of light in the dark river of time.
It's a typical karst cave, but there's water inside so you can take a boat ride around. You should wear warm clothes when you go. There's a small town nearby where you can eat mutton soup, which is quite good. The accompanying staple food is also delicious, but I don't know what it's called. Transportation isn't very convenient.

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 beautiful, with rolling mountains befitting its name, "Thousand Lotus Flower Mountain." Some peaks resemble those of Huangshan Mountain. Numerous ancient pagodas stand nearby, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. The "Flat-Clawed Rock" is unique and perilous.
The experience was great! I heard that Anshan residents can get in for free recently, but we out-of-towners paid 20 yuan for tickets, climbed 10km with an elevation gain of over 700m, and the mountain's shape was quite unique. Overall, it was a great experience and felt like a great value!

The Liao Dynasty wooden structure is incredibly beautiful. Inside the main hall are seven dignified Buddha statues, while the flying apsaras on the beams are graceful and ethereal. Visiting in November means fewer tourists, making it a great time for photography. It's a national treasure-level scenic spot that's very tourist-friendly.
I come here almost every year. The thousand-year-old clay Buddha has witnessed the passage of time and the change of dynasties. Every time I see the Buddha, I have a different feeling. I want to quietly listen to the story of the years. Today, I suddenly discovered that the base of the Buddha is also exquisite!

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!
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.
