It was my first time there, and it was great. The place is small, but the explanations were very clear. There were only four of us in our group, which was fantastic—it was practically like having a one-on-one consultation. Overall, it was excellent value for money.
Shenyang Imperial Palace is truly a wonderful place to visit! I recently went there and had a fantastic experience. First, the unique architectural style, with its red walls and yellow tiles, exudes an antique charm, making you feel as if you've stepped back into the Qing Dynasty. Second, the rich collection of exhibits, from artifacts to historical documents, each piece conveys a profound sense of history. The staff were also very welcoming and patiently answered all my questions. Overall, Shenyang Imperial Palace is a place definitely worth visiting, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history and...

The facilities are a bit old, probably because they've been there for a while, but the animals are super cute. The shows are also very good, so you should definitely go. Be sure to check the show times in advance!
There are 5 pavilions in Laohutan Ocean Park. It takes a lot of energy to visit them. If you want to watch a show, you need to pay attention to the performance time. It is suitable for family outings. There is a beach suitable for children to dig in the sand. It seems unnecessary to take the cable car. You need to climb stairs to take the cable car back and forth, and the exit is not in the same place.

A Majestic Pass: Echoes of History Between Mountains and Sea
Standing beneath Shanhaiguan Pass, gazing up at the towering plaque proclaiming "The First Pass Under Heaven," the five characters, powerful and vigorous, seem to embody boundless strength. This pass, over six centuries old, awes the hearts of every visitor with its grandeur.
Beneath the Yanshan Mountains to the north and connecting to the Bohai Sea to the south, Shanhaiguan derives its name from its unique geographical location. In the fourteenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, a founding hero, established a garrison here, leaving behind this crucial military stronghold along the Great Wall. Touching the mottled walls, one feels not only the cool bricks but also the warmth of time. These weathered marks seem to whisper tales of past battles, evoking images of thunderous drums and clashing swords on ancient battlefields.
Ascending the watchtower, one can gaze far and wide. To the north, the Yanshan Mountains rise in layers, the Great Wall winding like a giant dragon across them; to the south, the Bohai Sea surges, the sea and sky merging into one. This fortified pass, once a vital strategic point controlling China's lifeline, has influenced the nation's destiny countless times over the millennia. It was here that Wu Sangui, the Ming Dynasty general defending the pass, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, leading to its establishment; it was also here that in 1933, Chinese troops used the pass as a shield, firing the first shot of the Great Wall resistance against Japanese aggression.
Heading south to Laolongtou, the Great Wall appears like a giant dragon entering the sea, its head poised to tumble in the waves. This sea-facing stone fortress was built under the supervision of the renowned anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, extending the Great Wall more than twenty meters into the sea. Standing atop Chenghai Tower, witnessing the romantic encounter between the Great Wall and the sea, one is deeply moved by the awe-inspiring grandeur and boundless spirit.
Shanhaiguan is a testament to history, covered in its traces. It is not merely a pass, but a link connecting the past and the future. Touching every brick and tile of this guardian city, feeling the ancient warmth hidden in the cool stone crevices, one is instantly moved by the historical stories and legends of Shanhaiguan.
As I left, the setting sun bathed Shanhaiguan in gold. This majestic pass, a witness to countless dynasties, still stands, silently guarding this land and its people. It has transformed from a frontier fortress into a beautiful scenic spot, but the resilience and wisdom of the Chinese nation it embodies continue to inspire us to remember history and cherish the present.
My trip to Shanhaiguan allowed me to appreciate not only the magnificence of nature but also the weight of history. This fortress is deeply etched in my heart, an indelible memory.
There were too many people at Shanhaiguan during the National Day holiday. If Li Zicheng had so many people, he would have been able to defend Shanhaiguan. The problem is that there are too many people, and the experience is much worse. Parking is very difficult, and it is also difficult to move after entering. But the scenery at the seaside is still good, and you can play in the sand and water. Overall, it is still okay.

The Dalian Forest Zoo is well worth a visit! The environment is beautiful, and the animal species are diverse. The free-range area is particularly unique, offering a close-up experience for viewing the animals. The venue is well-designed, with clear routes, making it easy to visit with children. However, some facilities are a bit dated, so it's recommended to avoid peak holiday times. Overall, it's a fun and educational destination perfect for families.
The scenic area is quite large and complex. There are also rides and attractions. Some animals are allowed to be fed, while others are not. The routes and the scenic buses vary, so be sure to check your guide beforehand.

The Araya scenic area is excellent and highly recommended. Located in the Gold Coast Resort, it boasts a long coastline and beautiful beaches. Summer is the best time to visit. Since it's a closed-door area, safety is guaranteed.
Hidden beneath the coastal dunes, the Aranya Dune Art Museum is a work of land art in its own right. Its interior resembles a mysterious cave, with winding galleries connected by several light wells. Natural light pours in, blending with the sea breeze and the sound of waves to become part of the exhibition. Experiencing contemporary art here and experiencing the ingenious fusion of man-made and natural elements is a unique sensory experience.

The four pavilions included in the combined ticket are for single use only; you cannot re-enter after exiting. It's close to the sea and Xinghai Square, and some of the fish are quite attractive. There's a good variety of small animals; overall, it's alright.
Each museum has its own characteristics. If you go with children, there will be more people on holidays. We went during the summer vacation and the queue was not very long, but the performance was quite crowded and there were many people.

Nanyu is very suitable for big babies to play. They are tall enough to play many games, and small babies can play some non-powered games and watch performances. The beach is by the sea, and the cableway on the right hand side of the entrance is great. The scenery is great and cool. Except for the queue, it is good. There are restaurants on the beach, which is convenient for eating. There are even Shanghai aunties, and the taste is not bad. The only complaint is that after playing on the beach, you can take a shower. 20 yuan per time is fine, but there is no parent-child room. The father is not here, and the mother can't take the boy to take a bath. He can't change clothes because he is covered in sand. I hope there will be improvements!

Since I love visiting museums, and the Liaoning Museum is so famous, I made it the last stop on my Shenyang weekend trip. It was truly impressive: 1. The museum is truly enormous, with multiple exhibition halls on each of its three floors. Most importantly, the collection is incredibly rich. A two-and-a-half-hour tour only covered the entire Ancient Liaoning exhibition on the third floor, and that was with a focused presentation. 2. I have to give a thumbs-up to our Ctrip guide, Mr. Pan. His explanation was both professional and engaging, preventing it from becoming boring over time. His guided style effectively and concisely conveyed the extensive historical background and numerous cultural relics of ancient Liaoning's development, deeply deepening my understanding of key points. This group tour almost turned into a one-on-one VIP experience 😄. Besides me and a young woman who had moved to Macau from mainland China, the small group allowed me to spend more time interacting with Mr. Pan, which was a fantastic experience. Overall, I felt it was a worthwhile trip, and I haven't seen or heard enough. Finally, a few tips: before visiting the Liaoning Museum, you can do some planning and understanding of the contents in advance; it is best to have a tour guide to explain the tour, which will be more effective; it is more suitable for middle school students and above, and it may be difficult for elementary school students to accept it, so parents with children can refer to it; there is a baggage storage cabinet on the right hand side after entering the west gate of the museum; finally, if you really want to visit the Liaoning Museum well, you still have to come a few more times 😊, I hope to have the opportunity to come again!
Excellent service, with advance notice of important matters, including how to enter the museum and how to store luggage. The three-hour explanation was very detailed, interesting, and informative. Highly recommended!

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❤
