Chang'an Temple is located at No. 6, Chang'an Temple Lane, Chaoyang Street, Shenhe District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. It is on the north side of the famous commercial street "Zhongjie" in Shenyang.

Transportation to the scenic spot: Fangcheng Pedestrian Street has tight parking lots, public transportation or cycling, and direct subway access. 👍 Must-visit attractions: According to legend, when Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was on an expedition to Goryeo (the ancient name of Korea), he was stationed in Shenyang and ordered the "door god" Yuchi Jingde to supervise the construction of this temple, which was named Chang'an Temple, meaning "long-term peace and stability." There is a folk rumor that "Chang'an Temple came first, and Shenyang City came later", which shows how long its history is. The wooden components of the temple buildings, such as beams, columns, rafters, lintels, purlins, rafters, flying rafters and brackets, are all painted with oil and gilded, making them magnificent. Although the mythical beast totem on the roof has been rebuilt, one can still feel the rich history and culture of Shenyang from brick to tile. 🎟Ticket related: Opening hours 8-15 o'clock, free and no reservation required, incense is voluntary, compared with the paid incense in the Marshal's Mansion 💗Other tips: There is a Dharma Assembly on April 8th and free vegetarian meals.

Beiling Park (also known as Qing Zhaoling Mausoleum) is located in Huanggu District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China. It is the mausoleum of Huang Taiji, the second founding monarch of the Qing Dynasty, and his queen Xiao Duanwen. It is also one of the relatively complete ancient imperial mausoleum complexes in China. As the largest and best-preserved of the "Three Tombs Outside the Great Wall" (the other two are Fuling and Yongling), Beiling Park integrates historical and cultural heritage with urban leisure functions. It is now a World Cultural Heritage (expanded project of the Ming and Qing Royal Tombs) and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
The Zhaoling Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty was built in 1643 (the eighth year of Chongde) and was completed in the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651). It was expanded many times during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods. It is a model of the integration of the Qing Dynasty royal mausoleum regulations and Manchu and Han cultures. The mausoleum complex includes the Zhenghong Gate, the stele pavilion, the Longen Hall, the Fangcheng, the Crescent City and the Baoding (underground palace), etc. It has a rigorous layout and exquisite carvings, showing the grandeur of the early Qing Dynasty mausoleum architecture. There are towering ancient pines in the park, with more than 2,000 existing ancient pines, which are over 300 years old, forming a unique "ancient pine group" landscape. The south side is a modern park area with lakes, flowers, and tree-lined trails. The scenery varies with the seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, green shade in summer, golden ginkgo trees in autumn, and quiet snow scenes in winter.

Magicslope is located at the western foot of Maoshan Mountain in Qingshuitai Town, Shenbei New District, Shenyang City, adjacent to National Highway 102 to the west. The magicslope is a slope about 80 meters long and 15 meters wide, running higher in the west and lower in the east. The magic of the slope lies in that when a car is driven to the bottom of the slope and the engine is turned off and parked, you will find that the car automatically slides up the slope; the feeling will be more obvious when riding a bicycle, because you don't need to pedal uphill, the bike will slide quickly to the top of the slope, but you have to pedal hard when going downhill. There are many different opinions on the reasons for the formation of the strange slope, and there is no accurate scientific conclusion yet. Now a scenic spot with more than 20 scenic spots has been formed here with the strange slope as its center.

| Actually, I like this park very much. You can have a picnic, climb a hill, and take a hike. This hill is called Shenyang No. 1 Peak. It’s actually not very high. I’ve been here before and it was pretty good. I don’t know when it caught fire, but it was all burned. There is no grass growing on the burned area, and the soil is loose, all covered in ash! |
