Shenyang and the Forbidden City in Beijing are considered the only two imperial city complexes in China. Shenyang looks like a mini version, or rather, a youthful mini version. Some of the content is off-topic, but it's enough to spend a morning exploring.
I visited the Shenyang Imperial Palace once before, just browsing around on my own. It wasn't a long trip, and I felt I didn't understand much. This time, I specifically chose to visit Shenyang last weekend and booked a guided tour on Ctrip, also including Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence and the Governor's Mansion, which I hadn't visited before. The guided tour was very helpful. It provided detailed information on the history and background of the Imperial Palace, the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion, as well as the architectural styles and functions, and introductions to relevant historical figures, interspersed with anecdotes. The guide was a young woman, but she was very professional and enthusiastic. Saturday was incredibly crowded, even the guide was puzzled. The Imperial Palace and the Governor's Mansion aren't very large, and the crowds made many places very cramped, especially the indoor areas. It was practically shoulder-to-shoulder, making it difficult to even get a quick look around, which significantly impacted the experience. Overall, the Imperial Palace and the Governor's Mansion are definitely worth visiting, and you don't need much time; you can see them all in less than half a day. The Governor's Mansion felt more like an exhibition hall and wasn't very good value for money.

The former residence of Zhang Xueliang in Shenyang, also known as the Zhang Family Mansion, is a tourist destination brimming with historical charm and cultural allure. Stepping into the former residence, located at No. 46, Shaoshuaifu Lane, Chaoyang Street, Shenhe District, Shenyang City, is like entering a time tunnel, where the vicissitudes of a century unfold. The various "brothels" (or "brothels") each possess unique architectural features, writing a legendary chapter in history. The guided tour at "Buwan" in the park was particularly excellent; its vivid explanations gave us a new understanding of this history, making for a very good tourist experience.
This scenic spot boasts a spacious layout and unique charm, making a stroll through it feel like stepping back in time and engaging in a dialogue with historical figures across time—a truly immersive experience. Here, you can not only visit the site of Zhang Zuolin's death and directly feel the weight of history, but also gain a clear understanding of the true appearance of his "outer residence"—next to the residence of Miss Zhao Si, vividly showcasing the interpersonal relationships and daily life during the Republic of China era. The living areas of Zhang Zuolin and his family within the former residence are clearly divided, with separate residences for the first wife, second wife, etc., clearly reflecting the traditional etiquette of "distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children," and demonstrating that there was no situation of "favoring concubines over wives." The overall tour experience is rich and in-depth, offering both scenic views and historical knowledge, making it well worth a visit.

Early winter is a quiet time with few tourists. The scenic area is beautiful. A ticket is required for the shuttle bus (20 yuan per person), which runs on a hop-on-hop basis, averaging one bus every 10 minutes – very convenient and excellent value. Walking around the entire scenic area would be too strenuous for people of average physical ability.
Jingyuetan is a beautiful lake, and it is a sister lake to Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan. It is a bit cold in winter, so be sure to dress warmly. It is a great place to visit in summer. It is a natural oxygen bar, and the surrounding area is relatively convenient for dining and accommodation. The park is very large, and you can visit it and then stay overnight in Changchun city.

I went on October 25th, catching the Halloween night activities the weekend before Halloween, and had a lot of fun. I originally planned to write about my experience as soon as I got back, but I got busy and procrastinated, and before I knew it, half a month had passed since Halloween. Because my trip to Shenyang was short, I only planned to go to Fantawild. I bought a 159 RMB night ticket and entered the park at 3 PM, getting in after about ten minutes. You can take a free photo at the entrance, and pick it up opposite the visitor center when you leave. Small photos are free, but larger ones cost money. My original plan was just to explore the park and bring the kids next time, so I started wandering around. However, the park is quite large, with many branching paths, so after strolling around for a while, I downloaded the Fantawild app, which proved very helpful. I went on several rides, including Light of Life (a giant 3D movie), Liaozhai (a live performance with special effects), Mine Train (a roller coaster), Soaring Over the Horizon (similar to Soaring Over the Horizon), Conch Bay (an animated movie suitable for children), Dinosaur Crisis (an indoor ride-on movie), and Amazing Circus (a haunted house). If I had more time, I'd like to ride Soaring Over the Horizon and Mine Train again, especially the Mine Train, which is perfect for me – a thrill ride! 😁 Most of the haunted houses required wristbands, which was annoying. I didn't have one, so I just bought one, similar to the one at the North Loop. The Space Shuttle stopped running around 8 PM, and I rushed but missed it because of the 8:30 PM fireworks show. I also skipped Fire Meteor, since I'm not a roller coaster enthusiast; I've already gritted my teeth and ridden Hollywood Dream, Flying Dinosaur, and Decepticon… I'll save the Giant Swing for next time 🤣. Due to the Halloween activities and it being Saturday, it was quite crowded; most of the rides had a 30-50 minute wait. I felt the Halloween activities were even more fun than the attractions themselves, with lots of interactive NPCs along the main street. The interactivity was better than Universal Studios Osaka and Hokuroku, offering not only scary NPCs but also funny, cute, and beautifully posed figures that could playfully interact with visitors. I spent from 3 pm to almost 9 pm there, and Fantawild's fun exceeded my expectations. It seems I'll definitely come back during Halloween or some other pre-holiday event.
The amusement park is truly a fun place! From thrilling roller coasters to relaxing carousels, it offers something for everyone. The staff are friendly and welcoming, always smiling. The park is spotless, with every corner well-maintained. The dining options are plentiful and reasonably priced. Overall, it's a great place for a family outing and highly recommended!

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.
Teacher Liu was very dedicated and responsible, and her lectures were engaging, informative, and not boring at all, with strong potential for further exploration! The three hours were packed with valuable information, without any unnecessary fluff! It's just a pity I didn't see any of my favorite paintings; I hope I'll have the opportunity to visit the Liaoning Provincial Museum again in the future.

I watched a large show, which was interesting. The attractions in it were closed at night, and some of them required separate fees. The service staff were good, with a good attitude and humor.
The night show is more interesting. Tickets are checked in at 16:30 and there will be NPC interactions at the entrance. The Shanhaijing Wonderful Night Show starts at 19:30, and there will be singing and interactive activities at the front to warm up the audience. If you want a good seat, enter early to get a seat. Remember to bring a raincoat because there will be a rain spray session. Umbrellas are sold on site for 35, which is too expensive.

The night show is a Journey to the West theme park activity, which is very interesting. The actors performed very seriously and professionally. The lighting effects are good. The little animals who persisted in their posts are particularly cute. I recommend everyone to play
During this year's National Day holiday, my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting the Changchun Zoo. Our overall experience was very satisfying. The zoo boasts beautiful scenery, shaded by green trees, and a clean, tidy environment, creating a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere. The zoo boasts a rich variety of animals, and the exhibits are well-designed, each taking into account the animals' habits, allowing visitors to observe and learn about each species up close. The staff were friendly and provided a wealth of useful information and assistance. The admission price was reasonable and well worth the money. The children's play area was particularly noteworthy, and the whole family had a wonderful holiday. Overall, the Changchun Zoo is a highly recommended destination for families and groups of friends.

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❤

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.
Benxi Water Cave is the only AAAAA-rated scenic area in the area. The cave boasts the longest known tourist-friendly underground river, accessible by boat. A leisurely boat trip offers stunning views of the various unique stalactite formations – a natural gift to Benxi. The park also includes a museum and a petrified wood museum, providing opportunities to learn while enjoying the scenery. However, the service attitude and skills of the park staff could be improved.

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。
