Things to do in Shenyang

Visiting Zhang Xueliang's former residence and the Shenyang Financial Museum together was a fantastic experience. The architectural details of the Grand Green Building are particularly exquisite, with the brick and stone textures conveying a profound sense of history. The lifelike wax figures in the Financial Museum are incredibly realistic, making you feel as if you've instantly traveled back to a bank lobby during the Republic of China era, with even the abacuses on the counters arranged meticulously. This immersive setting is much more interesting than simply looking at artifacts, and it's also great for taking photos ✨. Although it was quite tiring to walk around, being able to feel the prosperity and vicissitudes of that era is definitely worth the ticket price 👍.

The visit to the Forbidden City was successfully completed. It was great and very meaningful. It helped me understand the past history, which is well preserved. Overall, it was a very good experience. It's definitely worth a visit.

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.

Overall, it's pretty good. Once you get there, you can rent a car. I didn't know how to drive at first, but with my years of driving experience, I learned quickly. This saves energy. You can download an app, locate yourself, and check out the attractions and waiting times. Boys might like the Dinosaur Extinction attraction, as well as some thrilling rides. Some attractions require separate fees, such as the Ice and Snow World and the Petting Zoo!

We took our kids back to China for summer vacation and had our first experience at a Northeastern Chinese bathhouse. We absolutely loved all the facilities and services. Children under 1.4 meters tall get in for free, making it incredibly good value for money. If we have the chance, we'll definitely bring our family and friends to experience this top-tier bathhouse in China!

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.

Last year around this time, I also visited Liu Laogen in Shenyang. I doubt many people would spend 688 yuan to see it two years in a row like me. Last year, I laughed so hard I almost fell over; it left a very deep impression. Even though I've seen it several times over the years, especially since Li Baoguo was just starting out back then, and Errenzhuan was much more colorful. This time, however, I was a little disappointed. The show was basically the same as last year's, the jokes and punchlines were the same, even the selling points and costumes were identical. I laughed, but the same feeling of being doubled over was gone. Being an actor isn't easy, and constantly coming up with something new is even harder. But since they've chosen this path, there's no way around it; actors need to be observant and innovative. I wonder if I'll be pleasantly surprised next time I see it.

The attraction itself is so-so, not much to see or see, and not many buildings; it's just a large park. Our tour guide, Mr. Li, led the group and provided excellent and comprehensive explanations. Without his explanations, we wouldn't have understood anything. He talked a lot about the history, the origins of the buildings, and so on.
