Zhao Mausoleum
rowena17:“Five stars for tour guide Xiaohan! The Beiling and Qingzhaoling mausoleums are complex, but she organized them clearly and logically, covering architecture, historical figures, and folk customs, making it engaging and not boring. She was attentive throughout the tour, providing road condition updates and was very responsible. Hiring her for a guided tour in Shenyang is a reliable choice.”Shenyang Imperial Palace
Mandeley:“The Shenyang Imperial Palace is an amazingly beautiful and interesting place to visit! I was surprised that eventhough I went there during the National Holiday, it wasn't as crowded as I would expect.

Beiling Park
Anonymous user:“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.”Dongling Park
M38***06:“Dongling Park has fresh air and pleasant scenery. You can learn about the culture of the Qing Dynasty. It is a good place to learn about the history of the Qing Dynasty. The park is quiet and peaceful. The walking route is clear. My family came out to play on weekends. Learn about history, but the transportation is not very convenient. It is worth recommending.”9.Take a Day Trip to Qi Pan Shan

大盗阿飞:“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.”10.Relax at the Shenyang Expo Garden

Shenyang Botanical Garden
Anonymous user:“It's definitely worth a visit. Three of us rented an electric scooter and drove around for 3 hours for 200 yuan, seeing most of the sights. Highly recommended. Some of the chrysanthemums had already faded, but the calamus was still in full bloom.”
