Liaoning | Shenyang. I really want to go.

This city surprised me… It's a treasure just a 3-hour high-speed train ride from Beijing, and it feels like Beijing in some ways... It's prosperous yet down-to-earth… Transportation is convenient… the infrastructure is excellent… the city is clean… Even in the scorching summer heat, it doesn't feel too hot, and September is even more comfortable… Hotels are everywhere, making it easy to find one that suits you. Recommendations: Mukden Palace -- Shenyang's Imperial Palace isn't big. Tickets are 50 yuan per person. Try to go early, otherwise, it gets crowded, and you won't be able to take any good photos… Zhongjie Street -- A place to eat, shop, and explore… two words… crowded… similar to Beijing's Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus -- Gothic architecture, worth checking out. Try to avoid midday for better lighting and photos. Goethe Bookstore -- An interesting and unique building. If you have time, it's worth a visit. Hun River -- Worth experiencing. Strolling along the river or finding a quiet spot to watch the sunset is a wonderful experience. Laobeishi -- A small but complete night market with phoenix performances in the evening, many stalls, and a great atmosphere. White Pagoda Park -- A park outside the city center where you can experience the local life of Shenyang residents. A place where square dancing and strolling elders gather. The small temple is also a pleasant surprise and offers good photo opportunities… In short, Shenyang is a city worth visiting.
