The ultimate family travel experience in Shenyang at the Howard Johnson Hotel is off the charts!

Traveling with kids in Shenyang, choosing the right hotel is really important! This time, staying at the Howard Johnson Hotel was full of surprises from details to facilities, perfectly meeting all the needs of a family trip—comfortable and convenient, happiness level maxed out✨ A must-praise is the buffet breakfast on the 4th floor, truly the joy source for the whole foodie family! The variety is dazzling, full of Northeast China flavors. The freshly made fried dough sticks are crispy outside and tender inside, the freshly ground soy milk is rich and fragrant, and the authentic tofu pudding with soul-soaked sauce is super satisfying with every bite. Besides that, the hot dishes area offers a full range of meat and vegetarian options, seafood, barbecue, and seasonal vegetables bombard your taste buds one after another. Made-to-order fried eggs and noodles are absolutely delicious. The kids’ favorite dessert area combines beauty and taste, with exquisite small cakes, soft puddings, fresh cut fruits, various yogurts, and drinks—nutritious and delicious. The whole family sits together enjoying breakfast in the morning sunshine, starting the day full of energy~ The facilities on the 24th floor hit all the pain points for family travel, with full practicality💯. Kids change clothes frequently while traveling, and the 24-hour laundry room is a lifesaver! The washer-dryer combo is easy to operate, and clothes come out soft and fluffy after drying. No more carrying piles of dirty clothes, completely freeing your hands. The gym next door is fully equipped, spacious, and bright. Parents can work out early in the morning, and I can relax and digest after meals while exercising, all while overlooking the beautiful cityscape of Shenyang—comfortable and stress-relieving. The hotel’s location is excellent and super convenient for travel, close to popular attractions like the Palace Museum and Zhang’s Marshal Mansion. Walking or taking a taxi is very easy, and you can quickly rest after sightseeing. The rooms are clean and tidy, well laid out, warm, and comfortable—enough space for the whole family to relax and unwind. After a day’s itinerary, curling up on the soft bed chatting instantly melts away fatigue. This Shenyang trip doubled the happiness thanks to this hotel, with excellent cost performance. Both the facilities and service are impeccable. I sincerely recommend it to families planning to visit Shenyang with kids. It’s definitely the top choice for family travel hotels—book with confidence, no risk👍

Dreaming of exploring Beijing’s imperial past? 🚀 This trip had me wandering through the Palace Museum, uncovering antique clocks, and soaking up serene vibes at The Round City. The contrast of golden Buddha statues against deep red walls absolutely wowed me — and don’t sleep on the museum’s Western-style exhibition halls! Top Spots to Visit in Beijing: 1. The Palace Museum (No. 4, Jingshanqian Street, Dongcheng District): Open Tuesday-Sunday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM (Apr-Oct), 8:30 AM–4:30 PM (Nov-Mar). Entry: 60 CNY. Art lovers, don’t miss the intricate sculptures here — the stone Buddha and accompanying figures are photo gold with dramatic red and gold temple backgrounds. 2. Hall of Clocks and Watches: Inside the Palace Museum, open similar hours (verify before visiting as times change seasonally). Step into dazzling exhibition halls, blending classic Chinese and Western architectural styles. My tip: Go early, as crowds build up fast and snapping close-up shots is easier before noon. 3. The Round City (Jingshan Qianjie): Open daily, 6:00 AM–9:00 PM. This tranquil escape is ideal for a post-museum unwind. You’ll find less crowds here and a calming garden vibe — perfect for recharging between sights! Insider tips: - Book entry tickets online via WeChat to skip the lines (seriously, the queues get wild). - Water bottles allowed, but toss liquids before security checks. - Transport hack: Metro Line 1 gets you really close — hop off at Tian’anmen East station. - For snacks, local vendors outside the museum sell tasty jianbing (savory crepes). - Carve out at least half a day for the Palace Museum — there’s more to see than you think! #hellochristmas #ForbiddenCity #travel #BeijingCulture #ForbiddenCity #TravelTips #ChineseArchitecture
