Shenyang Imperial Palace

8.5

4.7/5

37.4k reviews

The Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of the two fully preserved palace complexes in China. It served as the imperial palace of the Later Jin before the dynasty entered the pass, and after the Qing dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, it was converted into the Shengjing Temporary Palace (also known as the Fengtian Temporary Palace). The palace houses a large collection of court artifacts left over from the former imperial palace, and precious treasures of the Qing court's old collection can be viewed in the various exhibition halls. The entire palace complex is divided into three routes based on architectural layout and construction sequence: the east route features the Dazheng Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion built during Nurhaci's reign; the central route comprises the inner palace complex expanded during Emperor Taizong of Qing's reign, including the Daqing Gate, Chongzheng Hall, Fenghuang Tower, as well as the Qingning Palace, Guansui Palace, Yanqing Palace, and Yongfu Palace; the west route includes the Wensu Pavilion and other structures added during the Qianlong period. The Daqing Gate is the main gate of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, commonly known as the Wu Gate. It is a five-bay flush gable roof building, with the roof fully covered in glazed tiles and trimmed with green edges. The wall decorations feature protruding sea water and cloud dragon patterns along with various auspicious beasts, exquisitely crafted. The Chongzheng Hall, commonly known as the "Golden Throne Hall," is where Hong Taiji handled daily government affairs and received envoys. Inside the hall are displayed cultural relics such as a gold-lacquered cloud dragon screen, an openwork golden dragon throne, and gilt bronze luduan incense burners. Above the throne hangs a plaque inscribed with "Zhengda Guangming," written personally by Emperor Qianlong, modeled after the plaque written by Emperor Shunzhi in the Palace of Heavenly Purity in Beijing. The Dazheng Hall, commonly known as the "Octagonal Hall," was also called the "Great Hall" or "Dugong Hall" before the Qing entered the pass. It is an important palace built by Nurhaci and the main building on the east route. Before the Qing entered the pass, important ceremonies such as the emperor's enthronement, New Year's Day congratulations, and the Wanshou Festival banquets were held here. In ordinary times, it was used to convene meetings of the Deliberative Council of Princes and Ministers or to promulgate important edicts. Inside the hall are displayed cultural relics such as a golden dragon throne, a gold-lacquered screen, and cloisonné elephant-backed vases, as well as calligraphy left by Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang during their eastern tours to Shengjing. The Phoenix Tower is located north of the Chongzheng Hall, standing atop the elevated terrace of the inner court. The three-story tower features a hip-and-gable roof with surrounding corridors, covered in yellow glazed tiles with green trim along the edges. "Phoenix Tower at Dawn" and "Viewing the Pagoda from Phoenix Tower" are counted among the Eight Scenes of Shengjing. The tower houses a plaque inscribed with "Purple Mist from the East" in the imperial handwriting of Emperor Qianlong. The Wensu Pavilion was built during the Qianlong era specifically to store the "Complete Library of the Four Treasuries" and serves as the main structure of the western route; the "Complete Collection of Illustrations and Writings from Ancient and Modern Times" was also stored within the pavilion. Its architectural paintings do not use the dragon-and-phoenix motifs commonly found in palaces; instead, they feature themes harmonious with the function of a library, such as "white horse presenting books," with a fresh and elegant color palette that forms a striking contrast with the red-and-gold-dominated exterior decorations of other palaces. This was also the place where Emperor Qianlong read during his eastern inspection tours.

Dalian Laohutan Ocean Park is located on the southern coast of Dalian, nestled between mountains and sea with a winding shoreline. This marine-themed park primarily showcases ocean animals and performances while offering coastal scenery. Its five venues each have highlights: the polar zone houses beluga whales, polar bears and penguins in simulated polar environments, with beluga and dolphin shows as main attractions; the happy theater features humorous sea lion and walrus performances that delight both adults and children; the marine mammal pavilion, shaped like a pirate ship, hosts playful seals and sea lions; while the coral aquarium displays colorful reef creatures and dreamlike jellyfish to recreate an underwater world. If you want to visit the bird forest to see birds, you can take the cross-sea aerial cableway to overlook the scenery of tiger beach bay and the southern coast from above, then arrive at this large semi-natural artificial birdcage. Blue peacocks, red-crowned cranes, egrets, parrots, and other birds freely engage in activities among the trees. Strolling through it feels like walking into a valley bird park, where you can occasionally come face-to-face with the birds up close. The park also features sea sightseeing boats, a 4D theater, a root carving art museum, and amusement facilities like the family-friendly Jurassic happy island. The tiger sculpture group is also a popular photo spot. When tired, you can relax on the beach, feel the sea breeze and watch seagulls circling overhead. A small reminder: animal shows at each venue have limited time slots. Check the daily schedule upon entry to plan your visit order and avoid missing desired performances.

Dalian Sunasia Ocean World is located in Xinghai Park, next to Xinghai Square. It is one of China's early-built immersive ocean-themed parks, featuring a signature underwater tunnel over 100 m long. The venue consists of five main areas: Ocean World, Polar World, Coral World, Galaxy Star Sea and the Amazing Tower, along with three major shows: the romantic mermaid fairy tale water show "Romance at Dolphin Bay," the dual beluga underwater performance "Legend of the Beluga," and the hilarious human-animal interaction show "Sea Lion Splash." All venues are within walking distance, making it ideal for a half-day or full-day leisurely visit. Featured viewing products include: the Antarctic penguin breeding base - Antarctic penguin island. The attraction keeps track of the latest trends in theme parks and the needs of travelers' consumption experiences in real time, continuously updating and improving its software and hardware. It integrates cultural and creative living, ocean-themed dining, specialty hotels, and entertainment and leisure experiences into a marine-themed "Dalian's urban living room," operating 365 days a year. The ocean world is the park's long-standing main venue. From the shark cave and discovery story corridor all the way to Havana avenue, the entire route is designed as an adventure journey "from land to the seabed and back to land." The underwater tunnel where sharks, rays and schools of fish swim overhead is a highlight for most visitors. The dolphin bay love story performed in the venue is a romantic mermaid fairy tale water show featuring dolphins, beluga whales and mermaids sharing the stage. The beluga legend in the polar world is a fully underwater performance by two trainers and beluga whales, while the sea lion fun show entertains the audience with the sea lions' hilarious interactions. All three shows have fixed time slots, so it's recommended to note down the schedule upon entry and plan the venue visit accordingly. The polar world gathers polar animals such as beluga whales, arctic wolves, arctic foxes, and spotted seals. Among them, the antarctic penguin island is a penguin breeding base, where gentoo penguins and king penguins gather in groups. From late summer to early fall each year, they enter the breeding season, offering a chance to witness penguin courtship, egg incubation, and even chicks hatching. Galactic Star Sea transforms the entire venue into the spaceship "Shengya," executing the "Galactic Star Sea Project." Beyond polar bears, sea lions and otters, visitors can also encounter land animals like capybaras and raccoons, with most allowing interactive feeding. The penguin tunnel is a popular photo spot, making it ideal for family trips. The coral world has been revamped with a tech-inspired theme, featuring hundreds of coral reef ecosystems paired with LED screens, touchscreen guides and holograms. The "Amazing Tower" showcases Dalian's coastal culture through murals by Chinese contemporary artist Wen Na, interspersed with interactive tech experiences. If time is limited, prioritize the performance-packed ocean world and the highly interactive Galactic Star Sea. Coral world is an immersive aquarium underwater garden that combines coolness and wisdom, perfectly pairing high technology with ancient marine life. It features over 100 coral reefs, fish and other biomes from around the world, six core sightseeing areas, high-tech LED screens, touch-guided tour systems, holographic imaging and other digital multimedia technologies, taking travelers on a "fun" journey to explore a different kind of scientific ocean. The Holy High Tower begins with a mural, serving as an artistic and entertaining "Holy High Tower," and it also has a very cool English name: HOLY HIGH. It empowers tourism through art, featuring trendy artist Wen Na, who creates cultural theme products for the attraction based on mountain and sea culture. By utilizing existing vacant architectural spaces and rationally adjusting the layout, it perfectly presents Dalian's distinctive "mountain and sea culture" through mural art. This allows travelers to appreciate contemporary Chinese painting art while enjoying fresh and exciting technological experiences. Guided by the working spirit of "innovation, pragmatism, service, and loyalty," with "serving society" as its corporate mission and "market-oriented, rule-of-law, and internationalized" as its business philosophy, Dalian Sunasia Ocean World adheres to the principle of "providing travelers with high-quality tourism products and services." It continuously focuses on venue facility upgrades, new business format planning and construction, and innovative tourism project design, gradually evolving from a traditional aquarium to a comprehensive marine cultural tourism industry chain. This builds a diversified, all-day Sunasia industry matrix, driving the transformation and development of attractions across Dalian and contributing to creating a new chapter of high-quality economic and social development for the city.

Upon arrival, head straight to the palace. Half a day is more than enough time to stroll around and take photos. I recommend the route: East Road → Central Road → West Road. The ginkgo corner on the West Road with its red walls is perfect for photos. 📷 Early November is a great time to visit as there aren't many people, allowing for a leisurely and comfortable walk.

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.

I came here because of its reputation, and the environment is indeed very nice. It's quite close to the beach and has parking. There are many European-style buildings inside, some are restaurants, some are creative shops, some are photography studios, and there are also banks, theaters, art galleries, etc. If you just want to see the scenery, a stroll around would take one or two hours, depending heavily on the weather; good sunshine makes for great photos. The creative shops are also worth browsing. It's a very relaxing place, but I didn't have time to visit anything else. Judging from the overall design, the night view should be amazing. If you want to take a small boat, just let them know in advance, otherwise the driver won't point out the camera location, and the photos won't be good.

Tiger Beach Ocean Park, nestled between mountains and the sea, is a long-established marine attraction in Dalian. The beluga whale and dolphin shows in the Polar Aquarium are spectacular, and the penguins and polar bears are adorable. The sea lion interactions in the Happy Theater are fun, and the jellyfish and fish in the Coral Aquarium are great for photos. The park has five aquariums in total, and the walking distance between them is quite long, so exploring them can be tiring. The scenery is beautiful, offering stunning views of both marine animals and the sea, making it a great place to bring children. It's recommended to check show times in advance and visit during off-peak hours for a better experience.

My brother and I found a milk tea shop and watched the figures of our family. When the lights came on in the evening, the whole family sat on the steps and watched the night view of the bridge. The child leaned on the old man's arms, feeling so warm that he didn't want to leave.
