Chengdu 📍 A paradise for meat lovers, "Xita Laotaitai"
🔻
During the October holiday, you should have a barbecue in Chengdu to match the cool weather. I've eaten here a few times on Qingjiang West Road before. The meat is very good and the dishes are very fresh. Most of the dishes are not bad. I didn't expect Qunguang to open Xita Laotaitai. It's much closer to my unit and home. It's more convenient to eat my favorite barbecue in the future.
🔻
Speaking of Xita Laotaitai in Shenyang, it is known as the "city's queue king" and "barbecue shop ceiling". Even if you haven't eaten at her house, you've heard of her legend.
🔻
The store has unlimited three kinds of side dishes, ✅ lettuce ✅ mashed potatoes ✅ vegetable salad. Everyone can try the mashed potatoes, the taste is really great, and the kids love it.
🔻
The meat is as good as its name. We three girls ordered a double meal. The portion was quite large when the dishes were served. Each type of meat was very red and shiny and tempting. There were little brothers or sisters helping to barbecue at each table. The barbecue was just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Take a bite, it's tender and juicy. The pork belly is even better! Every bite can feel the deliciousness of the meat in the mouth‼️
Must order ✔️
✅ Laotaitai lean beef
✅ Laotaitai fat beef
✅ Snowflake ribs
🔻
The taste of the ingredients is really good! It's especially fragrant after being roasted in the mud stove. I love the way of eating pork belly wrapped in lettuce.
🔻
The dipping sauce is not traditional chili sauce, but Xita special sesame sauce! It's fragrant and appetizing. It's really great to eat with barbecue! Friends who come to the store must try it.

West Pagoda Temple and Coffee Market.
During the Ming Dynasty, Shenyang was called Shenyang Zhongwei City. It was actually a city with a low level, a military garrison type, and a defensive type. There are towers in all four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest. Not only are there four towers, but there are also four Buddhist temples under the tower. The West Tower is Yanshou Temple, Tibetan Buddhism, representing the cooperation between the Manchu and Mongolian ethnic groups.
The square inner city and the round outer city. Then outside the outer city, four such towers were set up in four directions, and the layout was called the Mandala layout.
The sun at noon is still very strong, a ginkgo tree leaves have turned yellow, and the sun is shining brightly. At this point, there are not many pilgrims, circling around the pagoda, and the coffee shop at the entrance is floating with the aroma of beans. Temple coffee has become fashionable for a while, and the changes of the times are so strange!

Shenyang is so ahead of the curve... Courtyard-style barbecue...
As a foodie paradise in Shenyang's Xita district, I discovered a new barbecue restaurant with a Korean-style courtyard. The courtyard is quaint and charming, with a small bridge over a flowing stream. It's so relaxing! The quality of the ingredients, the presentation of the dishes, and the enthusiastic service are all top-notch!
As soon as you walk in, you feel like you've been transported to Korea! Each private room has its own name, and the authentic Korean flavor is immediately apparent!
The thinly sliced beef is generous in portion and sizzles on the grill! The enticing aroma is irresistible! Don't overcook it! You want to keep the beef tender and juicy!
Dongdaemun marinated beef steak! The texture of the meat is clear, and you can imagine how fresh the meat is. It's definitely a taste of childhood!
The pineapple fruit steak is really delicious! The rich meaty flavor is definitely worth experiencing. Go for it!
In addition to barbecue, there's also eel! Charcoal-grilled, crispy and golden! Topped with a secret eel sauce, you can't get enough!
The waitress is really nice! She provides service with a smile throughout, helps with the barbecue, and the dishes are really good!
The Korean-style courtyard is very relaxing as soon as you enter. Every corner has its own little touch. Find a buddy to eat meat with you!

Qingdao-Shenyang Five days and four nights of furious eating in Shenyang🤓
This year the Northeast is too popular, I have always longed for the Northeast and Northeastern cuisine, so I just went straight for it!
There are so many delicious and fun things, but unfortunately, my stomach is only so big, I can't eat it all, I absolutely can't eat it all. The neighborhood downstairs is full of delicacies, and the food market in Xita has even more. Each could be a post on its own!👌
It's a pity that although I thought Shenyang wouldn't be as bustling as Harbin, the place was still incredibly crowded. Couldn't get a chance for a bathhouse, our time was not ample enough, and in the end, we didn't experience it😭
Northeast, just go! Once you go, you won't make a peep!❤️

BB Drifting Notes | A Southerner's Solo Adventure in Shenyang
For babies who like leisurely travel, come and take a look 👀 The itinerary isn't very special forces-like, basically one activity per day and then I head home to slack off, binge-watch dramas, and order takeout
✈️Transport: Shenyang Taoxian Airport
☁️Weather: It's a different kind of cold from the south, you might not feel cold, but actually, you're already numb from the freeze!
🧥Clothes: The wind is strong, but it's a dry cold here, so as long as you wrap yourself up like a bear, you won't feel cold! Make sure to stick on warm patches and wear earmuffs and gloves 🧤
⚠️⚠️⚠️Don't be stubborn, the weather will equally punish everyone who is stubborn! I, who never deigned to wear long johns, obediently put them on here
DAY1: Xita
Xita is really crowded, you have to queue for over an hour for the more famous internet-famous stores, I was really too hungry so I went straight to the barbecue restaurant I wanted to eat at, it's still recommended to go early, Wei Jia probably stops taking numbers just before 17:00, don't run for nothing (just for reference on the day I went)
📍Wei Jia Barbecue Eel Beef Steak
It was worth the 160-minute wait, really delicious, deserving of its annual ranking ⭐️
🔸Nourishing Charcoal-Grilled Eel
The freshly killed eel 🐟 is really lively
When grilling, its head was swinging towards me, kind of cute
Tender and crispy, paired with a special sauce, it's especially delicious
🔸Secret Plum Pork
Very tender, sweet, one bite and it's all juicy
🔸Seafood Pancake
Especially delicious! The seafood inside is super generous!
Chewy squid 🦑 and shrimp 🍤, eat a whole one and you're full
🔸Jinro
I really can't get used to the taste of soju 😕 a bit bitter
DAY2: Xiao Nan Church - Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum
Xiao Nan Catholic Church ⛪️
🚇Line 1 Huaiyuanmen Station - Exit B
After getting off the subway, it's about a 10-minute walk
🎫: Free
🧥: It's recommended to wear black and grey, European-style clothes for better photos
Makes you feel like you're in Hogwarts in minutes 🔮
Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum 🏮
Not far from the church, about a 1km walk
🎫: 50/person
⏰: 09:00-16:30 (entry stops at 15:45)
The palace isn't very big, you can finish walking and taking photos in 1-2 hours
If you want to rent clothes for photos, it's suggested to rent them outside, there are many shops along the road outside the palace for photo shoot rentals, since I was alone I didn't rent clothes for photos~
However, there are a few exhibitions inside that are really worth visiting, and don't miss the cultural and creative center, the products inside are particularly exquisite, I bought two fridge magnets myself, interested babies can also buy a 'pass permit' for stamp collecting!

【Liaoning Shenyang City～Xita Korean Style Street】
Xita Street is a traditional gathering place for the Korean ethnic group, with Korean-style buildings lining both sides of the street. There are various clothing stores where you can buy clothes full of Korean style, but the prices are generally high and bargaining is not accepted. In addition to shopping, you can also taste a variety of authentic Korean dishes, and the famous Xita Cold Noodle Restaurant is located here.
There are many KTVs and bars on Xita Street. Every night, the colorful Xita area turns into "Xita City", which is a famous "city that never sleeps" in Shenyang, known as the "Little Seoul in the North".
If you are a girl traveling alone, be sure to pay attention to safety when strolling around Xita at night.

Check-in at the 22nd stop in Shenyang, 'Xita Yanshou Temple'
Check-in at the 22nd stop in Shenyang, 'Xita Yanshou Temple'
One of the four pagoda temples outside the Shengjing City built by Emperor Taiji.
Xita, also known as Xita Yanshou Temple, is located on Xita Street in Heping District, Shenyang. Xita was built in the fifth year of Chongde (1640) and was completed in the second year of Shunzhi.
Due to excessive damage, Xita was demolished in 1968. During the demolition of Xita, an underground palace was discovered, and a batch of precious cultural relics including Buddha statues were unearthed. In 1998, in order to restore one of the 'Eight Sceneries of Shengjing', Xita and Yanshou Temple, the Shenyang Construction Committee raised a special fund of 30 million yuan to rebuild Xita in its original form on the original site. After more than three months of intense construction, it was completed on November 13. The rebuilt Xita is 26.33 meters high and the base covers an area of 256 square meters. Yanshou Temple covers a total area of 4,000 square meters, and the Shanmen, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Baodian, and East and West Peidian cover more than 800 square meters. The hall is carved with beams and painted with rafters, which are simple and spectacular.
Because the tower is white, it is also called the White Tower. To the west of the old city of Shenyang, it is commonly known as Xita. The name of Xita Street comes from this. In 1998, the Shenyang Municipal Government once rebuilt the Xita Yanshou Temple.
