兴业爱📸:“The Liaoning Provincial Museum, located in Shenyang City, is one of the earliest and most comprehensive museums in my country. Its exhibits are frequently changed, and I particularly enjoy its collections from different periods. You can learn a lot from them, especially when taking children. The exhibits are richer than what you can learn from books, and they are more intuitive and easier to understand. The current nationwide museum craze is a result of the improvement in the cultural and knowledge levels of the general public!”2.Delve into the World of the Last Emperor at the '9.18' Historical Museum

Upon entering the garden, I was captivated by the various light displays. Lights and shadows weaved through the trees and flowers, creating a fairytale-like experience. The lighting arrangements are very creative, with different themes in different areas. Some are dreamlike, while others exude a sense of technology.
I highly recommend the Misty Forest and the Galaxy Tunnel. The lighting, combined with the music and the mist, creates stunning photos. Every snap was a masterpiece, and my social media posts were flooded with likes.
The cool evening weather made the tour very comfortable. The park signs are clearly marked, so I didn't have to worry about getting lost. The staff were also very friendly and proactively offered directions and recommended the best viewing spots.
