After leaving our luggage at the accommodation, we took the subway line 2️⃣ directly to the museum! The museum is definitely worth visiting, with more than a dozen exhibition halls where you can collect stamps at designated spots at the entrance! Since we arrived in the afternoon, we didn't finish all the exhibition halls, just picked a few we were interested in, and spent the last hour trying to collect stamps🏃. If you want to finish all the exhibition halls, be sure to go early!
In the evening, we went to the nearby Wanda Plaza for a simple dinner, ending the first day🔚

Qingdao-Shenyang Five days and four nights of furious eating in Shenyang🤓
This year the Northeast is too popular, I have always longed for the Northeast and Northeastern cuisine, so I just went straight for it!
There are so many delicious and fun things, but unfortunately, my stomach is only so big, I can't eat it all, I absolutely can't eat it all. The neighborhood downstairs is full of delicacies, and the food market in Xita has even more. Each could be a post on its own!👌
It's a pity that although I thought Shenyang wouldn't be as bustling as Harbin, the place was still incredibly crowded. Couldn't get a chance for a bathhouse, our time was not ample enough, and in the end, we didn't experience it😭
Northeast, just go! Once you go, you won't make a peep!❤️

BB Drifting Notes | A Southerner's Solo Adventure in Shenyang
For babies who like leisurely travel, come and take a look 👀 The itinerary isn't very special forces-like, basically one activity per day and then I head home to slack off, binge-watch dramas, and order takeout
✈️Transport: Shenyang Taoxian Airport
☁️Weather: It's a different kind of cold from the south, you might not feel cold, but actually, you're already numb from the freeze!
🧥Clothes: The wind is strong, but it's a dry cold here, so as long as you wrap yourself up like a bear, you won't feel cold! Make sure to stick on warm patches and wear earmuffs and gloves 🧤
⚠️⚠️⚠️Don't be stubborn, the weather will equally punish everyone who is stubborn! I, who never deigned to wear long johns, obediently put them on here
DAY1: Xita
Xita is really crowded, you have to queue for over an hour for the more famous internet-famous stores, I was really too hungry so I went straight to the barbecue restaurant I wanted to eat at, it's still recommended to go early, Wei Jia probably stops taking numbers just before 17:00, don't run for nothing (just for reference on the day I went)
📍Wei Jia Barbecue Eel Beef Steak
It was worth the 160-minute wait, really delicious, deserving of its annual ranking ⭐️
🔸Nourishing Charcoal-Grilled Eel
The freshly killed eel 🐟 is really lively
When grilling, its head was swinging towards me, kind of cute
Tender and crispy, paired with a special sauce, it's especially delicious
🔸Secret Plum Pork
Very tender, sweet, one bite and it's all juicy
🔸Seafood Pancake
Especially delicious! The seafood inside is super generous!
Chewy squid 🦑 and shrimp 🍤, eat a whole one and you're full
🔸Jinro
I really can't get used to the taste of soju 😕 a bit bitter
DAY2: Xiao Nan Church - Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum
Xiao Nan Catholic Church ⛪️
🚇Line 1 Huaiyuanmen Station - Exit B
After getting off the subway, it's about a 10-minute walk
🎫: Free
🧥: It's recommended to wear black and grey, European-style clothes for better photos
Makes you feel like you're in Hogwarts in minutes 🔮
Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum 🏮
Not far from the church, about a 1km walk
🎫: 50/person
⏰: 09:00-16:30 (entry stops at 15:45)
The palace isn't very big, you can finish walking and taking photos in 1-2 hours
If you want to rent clothes for photos, it's suggested to rent them outside, there are many shops along the road outside the palace for photo shoot rentals, since I was alone I didn't rent clothes for photos~
However, there are a few exhibitions inside that are really worth visiting, and don't miss the cultural and creative center, the products inside are particularly exquisite, I bought two fridge magnets myself, interested babies can also buy a 'pass permit' for stamp collecting!

【Liaoning Shenyang City～Xita Korean Style Street】
Xita Street is a traditional gathering place for the Korean ethnic group, with Korean-style buildings lining both sides of the street. There are various clothing stores where you can buy clothes full of Korean style, but the prices are generally high and bargaining is not accepted. In addition to shopping, you can also taste a variety of authentic Korean dishes, and the famous Xita Cold Noodle Restaurant is located here.
There are many KTVs and bars on Xita Street. Every night, the colorful Xita area turns into "Xita City", which is a famous "city that never sleeps" in Shenyang, known as the "Little Seoul in the North".
If you are a girl traveling alone, be sure to pay attention to safety when strolling around Xita at night.

Check-in at the 22nd stop in Shenyang, 'Xita Yanshou Temple'
Check-in at the 22nd stop in Shenyang, 'Xita Yanshou Temple'
One of the four pagoda temples outside the Shengjing City built by Emperor Taiji.
Xita, also known as Xita Yanshou Temple, is located on Xita Street in Heping District, Shenyang. Xita was built in the fifth year of Chongde (1640) and was completed in the second year of Shunzhi.
Due to excessive damage, Xita was demolished in 1968. During the demolition of Xita, an underground palace was discovered, and a batch of precious cultural relics including Buddha statues were unearthed. In 1998, in order to restore one of the 'Eight Sceneries of Shengjing', Xita and Yanshou Temple, the Shenyang Construction Committee raised a special fund of 30 million yuan to rebuild Xita in its original form on the original site. After more than three months of intense construction, it was completed on November 13. The rebuilt Xita is 26.33 meters high and the base covers an area of 256 square meters. Yanshou Temple covers a total area of 4,000 square meters, and the Shanmen, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Baodian, and East and West Peidian cover more than 800 square meters. The hall is carved with beams and painted with rafters, which are simple and spectacular.
Because the tower is white, it is also called the White Tower. To the west of the old city of Shenyang, it is commonly known as Xita. The name of Xita Street comes from this. In 1998, the Shenyang Municipal Government once rebuilt the Xita Yanshou Temple.

Tofu brain➕soy milk➕two tea eggs, seven yuan feels okay
The cold noodles roasted early in the morning are also very fragrant

Two yuan for tickets, five yuan for incense, and ten yuan for a sign
Don't pay attention to the fortune telling at the door, sincerity is the spirit

I really like the city atmosphere here
The snacks bought in Xita want to be sent by express, and there will be old men to help guide the way to find the courier
Passing by the scenic spots on the bus, there are aunts to help take pictures
The staff in the milk tea shop are all beautiful and speak softly
The Didi driver is also super sociable and chatty
Shenyang is great, I will come again next time
