william0818It was a nice afternoon, so I ate nearby and strolled to Ma Ji to buy some sesame cakes. I really missed their salty sesame sauce. It was a good time to come. There was no need to queue up, and the variety was complete. I even caught up with the meat fire cake, which I usually can't buy~ The price was as affordable as always, meat fire cake was 2 yuan, sesame cake was 1.5 yuan, salty sesame cake with meat or egg, and sweet sesame sauce was eaten directly as a snack. I have never bought sugar crispy cakes, I will buy a few to try next time

Northeast China is more than just skiing and iron pot stew! 👀 This travel treasure hunt uncovered four treasured cities with exploding historical heritage and affordable living. The experience was truly immersive, easily winning the WeChat Moments cultural competition! 🏆 No Guangchun sharing, book now! 👇 ------ 💰 [Budget Details] (Based on a 5-day, 4-night trip for 2 people, less than 1.5K per person!) • Travel: High-speed rail/Electric train are preferred, so look for discounts in advance 🎫. • Accommodation: Hostels/budget hotels cost approximately 150-300/night. Choose one near scenic spots for easy access 🛌. • Food: Snacks and special meals cost approximately 80-100/day. Eat as much as you want without breaking a sweat 🍜! Total budget ≈ 1200-1500 per person. Saving Tip: Avoid peak travel times during non-weekends for discounted accommodation and tickets. ------ 🗺️ [Detailed Introduction to 4 Cultural Treasure Cities] 1. Shenyang, Liaoning: The Imperial Past of "Straight Men" 🏯 • Must-See Attractions: ✅ Shenyang Imperial Palace (One of the only two remaining imperial palaces in China, featuring unique Manchu architectural style) ✅ Zhang's Mansion (Former residence of Zhang Xueliang, offering a glimpse into the turmoil of the Republic of China) ✅ September 18th Memorial Hall (Remembering History, a Patriotic Education Center) • Route: Day 1 Shenyang Imperial Palace → Zhang's Mansion → Day 2 September 18th Memorial Hall → Beiling Park • Cuisine: Ma's Shaomai, Laobian Dumplings, Sweet and Sour Pork • Culture: Shenyang is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, known as "the birthplace of one dynasty, the capital of two generations of emperors." This city has witnessed the historical transformation from the imperial dynasty to the Republic of China. My personal assessment: Shenyang is like a hardcore history lecturer, rich in history and incredibly authentic! The red walls and glazed tiles of the Forbidden City are a tranquil beauty in the sunlight, while the blue brick and stone carvings of the Marshal's Mansion tell stories of turbulent times. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes if your legs get sore from walking around the attractions! 2. Harbin, Heilongjiang: A European Love Letter from a "Mixed-Blood Beauty" 💃 • Must-See Attractions: ✅ St. Sophia Cathedral (Byzantine-style, a Harbin landmark) ✅ Central Street (lined with European-style buildings, blending the cultural characteristics of Russia and Northeast China) ✅ Harbin Ice and Snow World (famous for its ice sculptures in winter, but also unique in other seasons) • Route: Day 1: St. Sophia Cathedral → Central Street → Day 2: Laodaowai → Songhua River • Food: Russian restaurants (e.g., Russian cuisine), Harbin red sausage, sweet and sour pork • Culture: Harbin blends Eurasian culture with the cultures of northern China's ethnic minorities, and its unique cityscape is known as the "Moscow of the East." My Rating: Harbin is a romantic "mixed-blood goddess." The cobblestone pavement of Central Street resembles her necklace, and St. Sophia Cathedral is her dazzling crown. Visiting the Ice and Snow World in winter is even more stunning—just remember to wrap up like a bear! 3. Jilin · Ji'an: The Goguryeo Secrets of a "Border Scholar" 🏞️ • Must-See Attractions: ✅ Goguryeo Cultural Relics and Historic Site Tourist Area (a World Cultural Heritage site, including the Goguryeo Royal City, royal tombs, and aristocratic tombs) ✅ Yalu River Scenic Spot (North Korea is on the other side, offering unique scenery) • Route: Day 1 Goguryeo Cultural Relics and Historic Site Tourist Area → Day 2 Yalu River Sightseeing • Cuisine: Korean cuisine (such as cold noodles, rice cakes, and kimchi), Dandong strawberries • Culture: Ji'an is one of the oldest cities in Northeast China and is home to the ruins of the Goguryeo Dynasty's capital. My Review: Ji'an is like a low-key "scholar," brimming with knowledge (and history) yet remaining understated. Walking among the Goguryeo ruins, you can almost hear the sound of horse hooves from thousands of years ago. The North Korean scenery across the river adds a touch of mystery. 4. Liaoning · Liaoyang: The Millennium-Old Chant of the "Ancestor of the Northeast" 📜 • Must-See Attractions: ✅ Liaoyang White Pagoda (one of the tallest ancient pagodas in Northeast China, a symbol of Liaoyang) ✅ Han and Wei Dynasty Mural Tombs (witnesses of Liaoyang's rich history) • Route: Day 1 Liaoyang White Pagoda → Han and Wei Dynasty Mural Tombs → Day 2 Dongjing City Ruins • Food: Local snacks (search results suggest Liaoyang has a rich variety of delicious food, but it's not listed specifically) • Culture: Liaoyang is the oldest city in Northeast China, with a history of over 2,400 years. It was once Xiangping during the Qin and Han dynasties and Dongjing, one of the Five Capitals during the Liao and Jin dynasties. My Review: Liaoyang is a hidden "historical ancestor." The White Pagoda stands quietly, witnessing the vicissitudes of time. Free from the hustle and bustle of business, it's a perfect place to quietly savor the traces of time. ------ ⚠️ [Notes] 1. Transportation: Northeast China is a vast region, so plan your intercity travel plans in advance. Buses and subways are generally convenient within cities. 2. Weather: Northeast China has distinct seasons, with cold winters and cool summers. Check the weather forecast before traveling and prepare your clothes. 3. Reservations: Accommodation is limited during peak seasons (such as during the Ice and Snow Festival), so booking in advance is recommended. 4. Culture: Respect local history and culture, and maintain quiet in museums, memorial halls, and other places. ------ 💎 [Personal Summary] These four cities are truly the "cultural gems" of Northeast China! ✅ Rich in history ✅ Affordable prices ✅ Unique experiences~ Shenyang is known as the "royal representative," Harbin as the "mixed-blood goddess," Ji'an as the "low-key academic master," and Liaoyang as the "thousand-year-old ancestor." Next time you visit Northeast China, don't just focus on the natural scenery; these cities also have fascinating historical stories! 💖 🌟Follow me and I'll help you discover more hidden gems! #NortheastTravel #ExperienceWinterBeauty #IndustrialStylePhotoshoot #CityHumanitiesNotes #ExploreMuseums

Day 1: A Cultural Journey Through Time and Space 🏯Liaoyuan Museum Address: 3399 Renmin Street, Longshan District This museum houses precious artifacts from the Neolithic Age to the modern era. I particularly loved the exquisite Manchu costumes on display; the photos were incredibly photogenic! ⛰️Kuixing Tower Address: 16 Fuyu Road, Longshan District Constructed during the Qing Dynasty, this ancient tower offers panoramic views of the entire city from its summit. The sunset view is breathtaking. 🌆Liaoyuan Old Street Address: Xining Road, Longshan District This area is at its busiest at night!

Eat and you've arrived in Changchun! Our school had a campus group purchase at Mr. Yu's bakery last semester. I really thought it was just average after trying it, but it looks delicious on the online marketing. The walnut and date cakes at Zaozifang in the morning market are super fragrant and I recommend trying them. The pistachio egg tarts at Valley are also delicious! I hope you have fun eating and playing [silly smile][silly smile]
