Things to do in Liaoning

It's definitely worth a visit. The outdoor building, a large green building, is a distinctive and solemn structure combining Baroque and traditional Chinese brick architecture. Inside, it's an exhibition hall showcasing furniture from the Republican era.

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.

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.

I went during the National Day holiday this year, and there were definitely more activities and more people than when I went in winter. It wasn't as deserted as I expected. I'll definitely go when it's more crowded next time, it'll be so lively! Haha.

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.

We went to see Feiyun, and the panda enclosure was right inside the entrance. She was elegantly eating bamboo shoots. I wasn't interested in the rides, but we saw many children on an autumn outing. The whole zoo is uphill and downhill, so it was quite tiring to walk around.

The show was quite entertaining, but overall it was geared towards young children, making it more suitable for elementary school students and younger. Adults might find it a bit boring. The overall tour flow was quite good, as it's a one-way street and you can see everything, but the variety of animals wasn't that extensive, with many overlapping species. The animals in the Galaxy Pavilion and the Polar Pavilion were similar, just with different decor.

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!

The scenic area was fantastic! I explored two different routes. The shuttle bus service was excellent and very convenient; it's free after you buy your ticket. The tour guides were also very responsible, reminding me of weather changes and recommended tour times. Thumbs up! I would definitely recommend the shuttle bus service to other friends.
