A Slow Journey by the Shen River | Autumn Whispers at Hunhe Evening Ferry

If you're looking for a journey in Shenyang where you can "live by the water and follow the light," this guide to accommodations in Yuhong District and the scenic beauty of the Hunhe River is worth saving📜. Starting from the Hauser Ritz Hotel, take a leisurely stroll to Hunhe Evening Ferry Park, where you can witness the golden sunset and shimmering waves, letting the city's hustle and bustle quietly settle into poetic tranquility amidst the ripples and evening breeze. The Hauser Ritz Hotel is perfectly located at the gentle intersection of city and nature. A 600-meter walk takes you to Jilihujie Station on Metro Line 9, and after three stops to Caozhong Station, a 15-minute walk along the south bank of the Hunhe River leads you to the scenic beauty of Hunhe Evening Ferry. Driving offers even more freedom, with the hotel providing a free parking lot equipped with charging stations, allowing direct access from the underground garage to your room without getting wet. Before setting off, the front desk will hand you a hand-drawn "Hunhe River Roaming Map," marking the best viewing spots and autumn flora coordinates, with surprises hidden in the details✨. Stepping into the room feels like entering a tranquil corner of the city. The fully intelligent guest control system is a thoughtful touch hidden in the details. With a simple voice command, the electric curtains slowly open, letting morning light or evening hues flood the room, falling onto the soft latex mattress that feels like a cloud☁️. The bathroom features separate wet and dry areas, a smart toilet, and a high-pressure shower to relieve travel fatigue. The citrus-scented toiletries blend with the osmanthus fragrance wafting in from outside, creating a natural healing ambiance. The most delightful part is the breakfast, which lasts until 11 a.m. Freshly cooked chicken soup noodles steaming with warmth, crispy Shenyang chicken racks, paired with freshly brewed coffee and fresh fruits, kickstart a day full of energy, preparing you for a leisurely walk along the Hunhe River. In the afternoon, follow the breeze to Hunhe Evening Ferry Park, one of the most enchanting autumn scenes in Shenyang. As one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of Hunhe," it embodies the romance of coexistence between the city and the river. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, the green willows on both sides occasionally shed yellow leaves, adorning the path with golden spots. Reaching the waterside platform, you can watch the Hunhe River flow gently, carrying fallen leaves and twilight towards the distance. For capturing the ultimate scenery, the "Evening Ferry Pavilion" is the perfect spot. After 4 p.m., the setting sun tilts westward, painting the sky in intertwined hues of orange, red, and gold. Sunlight scatters on the river, transforming into countless golden sparkles. As boats pass by, they carve shimmering arcs on the water, creating effortlessly atmospheric autumn photos🌇. The riverside reed marshes sway in the wind, their white plumes light as fluff, complementing the distant cross-river bridge to form a flowing ink painting. As dusk deepens, take a moment to pause at the "Riverside Book Bar" within the park. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows lies the night view of the Hunhe River, while inside, under the warm yellow lights, you can pick up an essay, order a cup of hot cocoa, and listen to the sound of water gently lapping against the shore. Time seems to slow down. On weekends, you might even encounter street performers singing folk songs, their gentle melodies blending with the evening breeze and water sounds, evoking a sense of contentment. On the way back to the hotel, the streetlights gradually light up, illuminating the path home. The Wanda Plaza below the hotel sparkles with lights, where you can grab a freshly roasted sweet potato to warm your hands and heart. Back in your room, upload the day's scenic photos to your computer, and sort them on the cozy sofa. The complimentary bottled water and tea bags in the mini-fridge are thoughtful companions for the late night. Anchored by the hotel and guided by the river, this journey in Shenyang is free from crowded tourist spots, offering only sunsets, evening breezes, and slow moments. When the city's neon lights and the Hunhe River's starlight intertwine, you'll understand that the best travel is a gentle reconciliation between your soul and the scenery.
