Where to Go on Weekends|Guide to Visiting the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum
📷When it comes to the Imperial Palace, many people will think of Beijing first, but in fact, besides Beijing, there is also an Imperial Palace in the northeast of our country - the Shenyang Imperial Palace.
🎉The Shenyang Imperial Palace, also known as the Shengjing Imperial Palace, was built in 1625 and is one of the two most complete royal palace complexes in China, the other being the well-known Beijing Imperial Palace.
🌸The Shenyang Imperial Palace was originally the royal garden used by Emperor Nurhaci and Emperor Huang Taiji in the early Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, it became a 'secondary palace'. The current Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum is an ancient palace art museum built on the basis of its palace, and was upgraded to a national first-class museum in 2017, with a collection of over 100,000 cultural relics.
🌺The total area of the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum is about 63,000 square meters, including more than 100 buildings such as palaces, pavilions, platforms, towers, lofts, and dining halls, and more than 500 rooms.

Recently, some places have been maintained and repaired. During the May Day period, the queue is very long. You can only look outside the room. There are too few toilets. There are fewer places to rest. The directions of the tour are not clear because there are too many people to visit for an hour.
There were a lot of people on May Day. We went there at 8 or 9 o'clock. When we finished shopping, we couldn't count people. It was almost 😭 But the Forbidden City scenery is very good. It’s also very good to take pictures and wear those beautiful clothes.
Shenyang Forbidden City, this royal palace complex that witnessed the vicissitudes and changes of history, with its unique charm and deep cultural heritage, I was very impressed. Stepping into the Shenyang Forbidden City, immediately surrounded by its solemn and elegant atmosphere. The scarlet walls, golden glazed tiles, and exquisite carvings and paintings all show the superb standards of ancient architectural art. Walking between the palaces, it seems to hear the echo of history and feel the glory and glory of the past. The layout of the Shenyang Forbidden City is rigorous and orderly, the palace is scattered, and each building has its own story. The majesty of the Grand Palace and the solemnity of the Chongzheng Palace make people awe. The nuanced decorations and furnishings give us a glimpse into the luxury and exquisiteness of royal life. Here, history is no longer a boring text in books, but a real existence that can be touched and felt personally. The exhibitions in the scenic area are also very rich and wonderful. Through the display of various cultural relics and materials, I have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the history of the Qing Dynasty. From the rise of Nurhachi, to the glory of Kangqian, to the decline of the dynasty, all this is vividly presented in the Shenyang Forbidden City. The process of visiting is like a journey through time and space, which immerses me in the long river of history. In addition, the tour guide service is thoughtful and the explanation is detailed, which provides great convenience for our tour. The management of the scenic spot is also very standardized, and the environment is clean and comfortable, so that tourists can fully enjoy the fun of travel. In short, this trip to Shenyang is very satisfied!
Although the scale of Shenyang Forbidden City is not as good as that of Beijing, the tour experience is super good, and you can see exquisite cultural relics up close. Trip.com's private explanation is also superb. Wang Yanju's tour guide's explanation was very exciting. The original 4-hour explanation of Wang Guide was 5 hours. It was detailed and rich, and the service was very good. It is highly recommended for this private explanation service. The time is also free. You can decide the start time according to your itinerary.
On the surface, because of the existence of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Shenyang Forbidden City is a bit inferior, but if you look at it with God and listen carefully, you can actually understand the history of the gold that is different from Beijing. In addition to the majesty of the imperial family, the Forbidden City in Shenyang can actually appreciate the constitutionalism and life habits of ethnic minorities. Every detail of the building is well maintained, and the living area of the concubines is more warm.
