Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good. Frequently used information can be saved here for easy sending.

The place isn't very large, and the interiors are mostly furnished as they were, giving it a strong historical feel. An hour is enough to see everything if there are few people. A unique feature is the front courtyard, a traditional Chinese courtyard house, contrasting with the Western-style building in the back, allowing you to see two different residential styles simultaneously. However, during the National Day holiday, it was incredibly crowded. There were queues to enter any room, and the queue for the Grand Green Building was a two-hour wait. Due to time constraints, I didn't queue and only saw the exterior.

A World Heritage Site, the Shenyang Imperial Palace before the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it has a completely different feel from the Forbidden City in Beijing. It's not large; you can see it completely in 2-3 hours. Don't compare it to the Forbidden City in Beijing in terms of size.

There were so many people and tourists that I didn't have time to take in many things. It's like a low-end version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many of the artifacts on display were discarded from the Forbidden City. Some rooms were off-limits, so people crowded around the entrances to take photos. There was no lighting inside, so the photos didn't look great. The architecture is still quite distinctive.

Overall, it's pretty good. Once you get there, you can rent a car. I didn't know how to drive at first, but with my years of driving experience, I learned quickly. This saves energy. You can download an app, locate yourself, and check out the attractions and waiting times. Boys might like the Dinosaur Extinction attraction, as well as some thrilling rides. Some attractions require separate fees, such as the Ice and Snow World and the Petting Zoo!

We took our kids back to China for summer vacation and had our first experience at a Northeastern Chinese bathhouse. We absolutely loved all the facilities and services. Children under 1.4 meters tall get in for free, making it incredibly good value for money. If we have the chance, we'll definitely bring our family and friends to experience this top-tier bathhouse in China!

Liaoning Provincial Museum, the first museum established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, is a national first-class museum with a collection of nearly 120,000 items. It is a highly representative historical and cultural landmark of Shenyang. Detailed address: No. 157, Zhihui Third Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. No reservation is required; simply present your ID card for direct entry. It is a 150-meter walk from Exit D of the Provincial Museum Station on Metro Line 2. Vehicles can enter and park through the South Gate, while visitors enter and exit through the West Gate.

Zhongjie Street is quite long with many side streets, lined with shops and restaurants, and bustling with pedestrians. It seems well worth a visit and is a landmark pedestrian street in Shenyang. It's convenient to get anywhere from Zhongjie Street, but during my few days in Shenyang, I only spent a relatively short time shopping there. I mainly explored other areas outside of Zhongjie Street. It was a bit of a regret that I treated Zhongjie Street primarily as a transportation hub. Next time I visit Shenyang, I'll definitely explore it more. If I hadn't been in a rush, I could have spent more time there. I mainly visited the Forbidden City, Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence, and the Dadong Food Market on Zhongjie Street.

The scenic spot has a beautiful environment and a rich historical atmosphere. Tour guide Li Chengshuo provided detailed and patient explanations, demonstrating extensive historical knowledge. He diligently answered every question my child had. A huge thumbs up!
