Things to do in Ji'an

The Ji'an Museum isn't large, but as a museum themed around Goguryeo civilization, its collection of artifacts with strong ethnic characteristics is still a pleasant surprise.

This scenic spot is really a very suitable place for the whole family to travel. Especially for bringing children out to play, there is also a children's play area, a natural scenery check-in spot 👍There are also performances and bonfire parties in the evening! A must-visit scenic spot when you come to Ji'an.

There were so many people and tourists that I didn't have time to take in many things. It's like a low-end version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many of the artifacts on display were discarded from the Forbidden City. Some rooms were off-limits, so people crowded around the entrances to take photos. There was no lighting inside, so the photos didn't look great. The architecture is still quite distinctive.

Liaoning Provincial Museum, the first museum established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, is a national first-class museum with a collection of nearly 120,000 items. It is a highly representative historical and cultural landmark of Shenyang. Detailed address: No. 157, Zhihui Third Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. No reservation is required; simply present your ID card for direct entry. It is a 150-meter walk from Exit D of the Provincial Museum Station on Metro Line 2. Vehicles can enter and park through the South Gate, while visitors enter and exit through the West Gate.

I rode a shared bike along Zhongjie Street in Shenyang to get to the Shenyang Imperial Palace. The street was really lively, but apparently, you can't park bikes along the way; you have to go around to a farther area to park. It seems that the city center commercial street isn't suitable for shared bikes. The next morning, I walked back to Zhongjie Street. There weren't many people on the street that morning. I saw Liu Laogen Grand Stage, but when I turned into the Imperial Palace, there was already a long queue waiting for it to open.

Qipanshan is a famous mountain in Shenyang City. It has a wildlife park, a film and television city, a World Horticultural Exposition Garden, many villa areas, and an outlet town. The scenery is beautiful, but it is quite far to get into the scenic area. During holidays, it is often impossible to drive in or out.

The overall environment was quite nice, but the glass on the cable car was a bit scratched, with significant human-caused wear and tear, which greatly affected taking photos. I suggest putting up a sign to prevent people from scribbling on the glass.

The museum has 7 exhibition halls, with more than 800 photos, more than 300 objects, nearly 100 documents and archives, 19 groups of large and small scenes, 4 sculptures, more than 20 oil paintings and Chinese paintings, 14 computer touch screens, and 2 large-screen TV recorders. It has adopted modern scientific technology, equipped with zone broadcasting, central air conditioning, film and television lecture hall, electronic reading room, multimedia computer system and international Internet facilities. It is the world's most comprehensive museum reflecting the history of the "September 18th" Incident. It is now a national patriotism education base, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a national first-class museum, and a base for exchanges with Taiwan in Liaoning Province.

The three-day, two-night stay was very fulfilling. The resort hotel facilities were quite good, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and quite spacious. Even though Changbai Mountain was closed due to weather, there were still plenty of fun things to do in the resort area. The breakfast was plentiful, cleaning was prompt, and the service was excellent. 👍 A great place to play in the snow in winter and escape the heat in summer.

The joy of the off-season is having a dedicated guide. For Shenbo, the guide mainly focused on the second floor. Xiao Sun explained things very carefully and comprehensively, and was able to answer some questions. He had a lot of relevant knowledge, and there was enough time.
