Complete Guide to Liaoning Museum

As expected, the Liaoning Provincial Museum is truly top-notch—high quality, high standards, and diverse. I thoroughly prepared and successfully spent a full 6 hours exploring, with a deeply immersive experience. Originally, I planned to rest well since I’m heading to India for two months in late December, but when I saw the two special exhibitions at Liaoning Museum: "Harmony of Mountains and Seas: Integration and Symbiosis" and "Wen·Yang - Traditional Chinese Culture Education Exhibition," I started hesitating about whether to go. Then, upon learning that the "Ancient Liaoning" exhibition had reopened after renovation, I couldn’t resist. I bought train tickets from Guangzhou to Jinzhou, Beizhen, Yixian, Chaoyang, and finally arrived in Shenyang. The Liaoning Provincial Museum has three floors and 22 exhibition halls, so you can choose the themes you want to see. Visit gradually, starting from Hall 01 on the first floor up to Hall 22 on the third floor. It’s very clear and easy to navigate.

There is truly so much at Liaoning Museum, so next I will introduce it floor by floor.
