2026 Fushun Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

Discovered a hidden family-friendly secret spot just 1.5 hours from Shenyang! Fushun Dalongwan is an undeveloped wild mountain area. The hike to the top takes only an hour, and the scenery along the way is amazing—perfect for hiking with kids and getting close to nature🌲 Dalongwan has four great photo spots, which you can visit in order: 1, 2, 3, and 4. Spots 1, 2, and 3 are close to each other, while spot 4 is farther away and also the most dangerous. Actually, you can see the entire Dalongwan from spot 3, so if you’re with kids, it’s best to skip spot 4. After descending, there’s a small creek with super cold water—perfect for kids to play in during summer. 🚗 Transportation ① Getting there: Driving from Shenyang is the most convenient. Just navigate to Fushun Dalongwan and follow the route. The mountain isn’t high, and with stops for photos, it takes about an hour to reach the top. The initial part of the trail is steep, but it gets easier afterward. ② Returning: If you’re not driving, you can hitch a ride on the roadside. Kind locals may give you a lift to town, where you can catch a bus from Xinbin to Shenyang North Station. The fare is 42 RMB per person. 📸 Family Photo Tips There are two trees along the way that are great for photos: one on the main path where you can stand and shoot, and another by the roadside where you can stand, squat, or pose cutely. At spot 1, you can use the frame composition or lean against a nearby tree for family photos. Spot 2 has a large rock where you can sit or stand for full-body shots. Spot 3 is a spacious platform, perfect for standing full-body or half-body photos with an amazing view. On the way to spot 4, there’s a big tree that looks great in photos. You can sit there; on cloudy days, use flash to brighten the subject, and on sunny days, any shot looks good. There’s also a branch perfect for swinging photos, which kids love. ⚠️ Notes There are almost no trash bins on the mountain except for one green bin at the trailhead. Please take your trash with you to protect the environment. Accommodation 🏨 Thirty-Three Summer Campus Homestay A vacation homestay converted from a rural primary school, featuring a 10,000-square-meter lawn, children’s playground, and outdoor pool—great for families with kids. 🏨 Mayfly Mountain Villa Resort Homestay A lakeside villa with a private pool, KTV, and barbecue area, ideal for multi-family trips. 🏨 Xiangwangdehe Homestay (Nantianmen Cultural Tourism Scenic Area Branch) A riverside homestay with views of green mountains and clear water right outside the window, offering activities like rafting and barbecues in a super healing environment. 🏨 Buwan Courtyard Homestay A private courtyard party house with a pool, barbecue grill, and KTV, hosting only one group per day for great privacy.

Conch City Grand Stage, there will be international performances every morning, and there will be a children's world float parade in the afternoon. There are many interactive gift shops on the side of the stage. If you are lucky, you can get a lot of beautiful gifts. The angry sea shark is the most exciting experience in the whole child world. It rides on a roller coaster and traverses like a sea dragon, and like an angry shark, it roars forward and stimulates.

The Shenyang Hot High Water World has built a unique tsunami wave pool that can pick up three meters of high waves. It rides inflatable black whales and rolls over huge tsunami waves to feel the coolness and surging of the sea.

Fushun, Liaoning 3-day 2-night travel guide (budget US$270) Fushun, once known as the "coal capital," is a seriously underrated treasure of a travel city. It’s the birthplace of the Qing dynasty, home to world cultural heritage sites, remarkable industrial relics, and the vibrant flavors of Manchu cuisine. With a budget of US$270, you can enjoy a highly cost-effective deep cultural tour here. This 3-day 2-night journey through Fushun’s Qing history and industrial memories is well-planned and perfectly paced. 💰 Budget overview (estimated) · Major transportation (round-trip high-speed train/train): about US$45–60 · Accommodation (2 nights): US$38–60 · Admission and experiences: US$38–53 · Meals: US$45–60 · Local transportation and miscellaneous: US$23–38 · Total: about US$190–270 (comfortably within budget) 🗓️ Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Fushun, explore the birthplace of the Qing dynasty · Transportation: Arrive at Fushun North Station or Fushun Station by high-speed train/train. Recommended to stay near South Station or Zhejiang Merchants Trade City, where commerce is concentrated and transportation is convenient. Comfortable hotels cost US$18–27 per night. · Afternoon: Visit Fushun City Museum (free) to quickly learn about the city’s "coal capital" origins and Manchu culture, setting the stage for the rest of your trip. · Evening: Take a stroll in Labor Park. The lakes and pavilions are very pleasant, making it a local leisure hub. From the top of Xuantu Pavilion, you can enjoy panoramic city views, especially beautiful at sunset. · Dinner: Head straight to Dao Street or West Third Street, the soul of Fushun’s cuisine. Must-try is Fushun spicy mix (a sweet and sour flavor without sesame paste, with fresh ingredients mixed to order). Pair it with a local Tianhu beer. Around US$3 per person for a perfect first meal. Day 2: Visit world heritage sites, dream back to Hetu Ala · Morning: Take a bus to Yongling Town (about 1.5 hours). First, visit Qing Yongling Mausoleum (admission US$7). This is the ancestral tomb of Nurhaci, the Qing dynasty’s founder, and the earliest, simplest, yet most sacred of the three outer tombs. Ancient pines tower, red walls and golden tiles create a quiet, deeply historical atmosphere. It’s listed as a world cultural heritage site. · Noon: Have authentic Manchu Eight Bowls in Yongling Town or on the way to Hetu Ala City. Recommended dishes include braised pork strips, steamed pork knuckle, and snow vegetable fried tofu, served with suzi leaf bread. Around US$9 per person to experience the highest Manchu hospitality. · Afternoon: Tour Hetu Ala City (admission US$8). This was the first capital established by Nurhaci’s Later Jin regime and the root of the Manchu people. Inside are ruins like the Khan’s Palace and the Banner Office, plus the Khan’s Well, said to never run dry despite thousands of troops drinking from it. The city sits on a terrace by the Suzi River, offering wide views and a grand atmosphere. · Evening: Return to the city and enjoy a banquet-style dinner with eight dishes and eight bowls near Wanghua District or North Station, or have a bowl of hot stretched noodles. Day 3: Solemn industrial relics, stunning open-pit mine · Morning: Visit the former Fushun War Criminal Management Site Exhibition Hall (free). This place once reformed the last emperor Puyi and over a thousand Japanese war criminals. The cold cells and historical photos offer a profound look at history and humanity, making it a unique cultural landmark in Fushun. · Late morning: Head to the West Open-pit Mine (viewing platform admission US$4). This mine pit is Asia’s largest man-made pit, 6.6 km long and 400 m deep. From the viewing platform, you can see the winding roads stacked in layers, with steam locomotives crawling like toys at the bottom. It’s a visually stunning testament to the "coal capital’s" glory. · Noon: Have a Manchu hot pot in the city (copper pot with charcoal fire, classic pairing of pickled cabbage, pork belly, and blood sausage), or pack spicy mix and cold noodles to take on the train. Around US$6 per person. · Afternoon: Buy some local specialties. Fushun amber (coal amber crafts) and vacuum-packed spicy mix seasoning are the most popular. Then head back according to your schedule. 🍜 Fushun must-try food list · Spicy mix: Fushun’s signature dish. Choose your own vegetables, meatballs, and wide noodles, boil them, then mix dry with a secret sweet and sour sauce without sesame paste. It’s a unique member of the spicy hot pot family, especially refreshing in summer. · Manchu Eight Bowls: Traditional Manchu banquet featuring braising, stewing, roasting, and frying. Classic dishes include snow vegetable fried tofu, year pig stew, and braised pork strips. · Copper hot pot: Authentic Northeast Manchu hot pot with a base of pickled cabbage and seafood, charcoal copper pot, layers of pork belly, blood sausage, and frozen tofu, simmering to rich flavor. · Wave leaf cake (suzi leaf bread): A sticky Manchu snack steamed with suzi leaves wrapping glutinous rice flour and red bean paste, with a fresh plant aroma. · Fushun grilled chicken rack: Crispy and fragrant, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, a perfect drink companion. 💡 Money-saving and tips · Accommodation: The best value is near South Station with convenient transportation. For a unique stay, check out riverside homestays in Xinfu District with views of the Hun River at night. · Transportation: There are tourist shuttle buses from Fushun city to Yongling Town and Hetu Ala City, or you can take a bus from Leifeng Passenger Station. The two sites are close enough for a day trip. Private car rental costs about US$53 per day; carpooling is cheaper. · Food tips: When ordering spicy mix, say "normal sweet and sour flavor"—this is the local standard. Most small shops can adjust the taste; ask for extra chili oil if you like it spicy. · Weather tips: Fushun is cold in winter and cool in summer. June to September is the peak travel season. Autumn visits to Yongling are especially photogenic with ancient pines shedding leaves. Fushun is a city with depth, where the royal aura of Hetu Ala meets the industrial elegy of the open-pit mine. We hope you rediscover this low-key treasure city through the memories of the "coal capital" and the flavors of the "Manchu homeland." Feel free to ask me anytime.

🌊 Photo spots In July, the place with the highest photo success rate in Fushun is surprisingly the largest open-pit mine in Asia, the West Open-pit Mine Observation Deck 🌪️. You must stand there and overlook it once. The layers of mining roads are like the annual rings of the earth. Wear a long black dress, let the wind blow your skirt, and you'll get industrial-style blockbusters. The ancient Liao Dynasty pagoda on Ga'ershan Mountain is another treasure photo spot 📸. Climb the mountain path to the summit; the ancient pagoda with green shade, and the backlight in the evening can gild your hair. Sarhū Scenic Area is free to enter. The Dahuofang Reservoir lake surface is like a piece of jade embedded in the mountains. When the light slants down at 4 PM, sitting on a bench by the lake and eating Malabian can create a Korean drama heroine vibe 🌿. If you want to capture Manchu charm, go to Hetu'ala City, the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. Rent a set of Manchu clothing, stand by the Khan King Well, and the 400-year-old city filter will automatically be applied 👘. Don't forget the European-style castle at Rego Bali Water World. Surf during the day and watch the light show at night. A casual photo of the castle at sunset will get high praise. 🍜 Food recommendations Coming to Fushun without eating Malabian is a wasted trip! It's completely different from Malatang—it's a sauced mix without soup. Potato slices, wide noodles, kelp, and meatballs are coated in a sweet, sour, and slightly spicy sauce that clings to your tongue, making you crave more 🥢. The old shops around Yucai Middle School are the most authentic. After 3 PM, expect to queue for at least 20 minutes. It's recommended to go during off-peak hours. Xinbin Lamb Soup is another soul-soothing dish. Lamb bones are simmered for four hours until the broth is milky white. Pair it with two baked flatbreads, and one bite will dispel all the summer heat 🍲. Grilled chicken frames from the night market are a snack ingrained in the DNA of Fushun locals. Grilled over charcoal for eight minutes, then sprayed with a spoonful of secret vinegar sauce just before serving. It's sweet, sour, and refreshing, and for 8 yuan, you'll be gnawing on a mouthful of flavor. To experience the grandeur of a Manchu banquet, look for "Eight Dishes and Eight Bowls," featuring four cold, four hot, four meat, and four vegetarian dishes. Ama Zun Rou, stewed chicken with red mushrooms, and sauerkraut and pork hotpot are lined up. Half a set is enough to fill three people. On a side note, Dongzhou Cold Noodles, Perilla Leaf Bobo, and Suantangzi are also hidden local menus. ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls The biggest pitfall when coming to Fushun in July isn't the attractions, it's the weather ☔. This week, high temperatures are combined with showers, reaching 31–33°C, with humidity so high you could wring water out of the air, making it feel like 35°C or more. The UV index is highest from 12 PM to 3 PM. Historical sites like Hetu'ala City, with its earthen walls, offer almost no shade. Your makeup will melt in 10 minutes. It's highly recommended to rush in when it opens at 8:30 AM and leave before 10 AM. Always carry a folding umbrella. Rain in Fushun can come out of nowhere, and localized strong convection can bring strong winds. The West Open-pit Mine Observation Deck is very windy, so don't use an umbrella. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are the correct choice 🕶️. Lei Feng Memorial Hall and the Former War Criminals Management Center require advance booking. Bring your ID card, and try not to carry large bags. After rain, the steps at mountain scenic spots can be slippery. Ecological scenic areas like Kuangzigou are currently closed. Before heading out, be sure to check the real-time operating status on Trip.com. Keep insect repellent glued to your bag; Fushun mosquitoes in July spare no one 🦟. Don't overindulge in iced drinks; in the dog days of summer, drinking more warm water is actually more comfortable. 🗺️ Itinerary planning A two-day, one-night pace is the most comfortable. On the first day, settle in Wanghua District or Shuncheng District. Head straight to Rego Bali Water World in the morning. Enjoy the wave pool, super horn slide, and evening electronic music party all at once. After dinner in the park, return to the hotel to rest 🌙. On the second day, wake up naturally. First, go to Ga'ershan Mountain to climb the ancient pagoda and capture the morning light. Arrive at the West Open-pit Mine Observation Deck before 10 AM to see the full view of the mine pit. For lunch, have Malabian with cold noodles in the city center. In the afternoon, take a taxi to Sarhū Scenic Area for a lakeside hike. It's free and great for photos. The light is best for photography around dusk. If you have more time, extend to a third day. You can take a high-speed train for an hour to Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County. Hetu'ala City and Qing Yongling Mausoleum can be combined into a Qing Dynasty pre-unification cultural route. In the evening, return to the city for an "Eight Dishes and Eight Bowls" dinner to conclude your trip perfectly 🎎. Families with children can swap the second day for Royal Ocean Park. Dolphin shows, underwater tunnels, and a beach water world are all available in one stop. The park is open until 9 PM, and after the light show, you can book nearby guesthouses on Trip.com. It's recommended to book all tickets on Trip.com one day in advance. A combined ticket for Rego and the water world can save you the cost of a Malabian meal 💰. In Fushun in July, be prepared for sun protection and rain. The charm and coolness of this city, where the Qing Dynasty rose and a century of coal mining thrived, will be firmly in your grasp.

Fushun Sarhu Scenic Area Sarhu Scenic Area is located in the eastern suburbs of Fushun City, about 15 km from the city center. The area was originally named Dahuofang Reservoir Scenic Area, centered around Dahuofang Reservoir. It covers more than 200 square kilometers, with over 100 square kilometers of water surface, making it the largest man-made lake scenic area in Liaoning Province. The scenic area combines lake and mountain landscapes with a high forest coverage rate, earning it the nickname "urban oxygen bar." It includes several sightseeing spots such as Bailong Mountain, Wanggao Mountain, Degu Bay, Lotus Island, Marshal Forest, and Tiebai Mountain. The core area, "Gaoshan Scenic Area," is the highlight. Wanggao Mountain centers around the reservoir’s water surface, surrounded by mountains and islands. The area also features large tracts of native white birch forest, with crisscrossing trails and misty surroundings, making it a popular spot for hiking and photography. There is also the Medicinal Herb Garden, which grows over 100 kinds of Chinese herbs. On the west side, Sanhui Temple is large in scale and has a serene environment. The Qiushui Changtian Tower within the scenic area is an excellent spot for climbing and enjoying the view. There are two tour routes: the easy half-day tour is suitable for families with children. Enter through the north gate, take the sightseeing bus to Qiushui Changtian Tower, then walk down the mountain passing through the birch forest and flower sea to return. The whole trip takes about 3 to 4 hours. The in-depth hiking tour covers about 7 to 11 km on gentle mountain paths and allows you to visit all the core attractions.

Wrapped in clouds, this mountain hides 100,000 glacier-era “fairy flowers” — a story of Tiannü Mountain in Fushun A friend wanted to find a quiet place with few people, beautiful scenery, and unique features. So we picked a sunny weekend and drove about two hours from Shenyang to this mountain locals call “Waila Zi.” Tiannü Mountain is located in Taiping Village, Maquanzi Township, Fushun County. It’s a national 4A-level tourist attraction. The main peak is 780 meters high—not too tall, easy to climb, but the views are impressive. The mountain isn’t large; it takes 2–3 hours to hike the whole trail, with low physical demands, suitable for both elderly and children. The highlight of the park is nearly 100,000 wild Tiannü magnolias. This flower is a relic from the Quaternary glacial period, blooming from mid-June to early July, covering the mountain in white. Although we visited outside the bloom season, the lush greenery and fresh air were already very healing. The core area has a negative oxygen ion concentration of 30,000 per cubic centimeter, and you can see a sea of clouds more than 150 days a year. ⛰️ Best route (easy and photogenic) The park is small with no shuttle buses, so it’s all on foot. We recommend this 1.8 km route, taking 1.5–2 hours: Main gate → boardwalk on the right → South Heavenly Gate → One Line Sky → Juxian Terrace → Tiannü Peak (summit) South Heavenly Gate is the first iconic checkpoint. The mountain narrows sharply here, with steep cliffs on both sides. Passing through leads to One Line Sky—a 35-meter-long gorge known as “Liaoning’s unique wonder.” The rock walls are very close; at the narrowest point, you must turn sideways to pass, creating a dramatic photo opportunity. Continue uphill to Juxian Terrace, rest briefly, then push on to Tiannü Peak. From the summit, you get a panoramic view of three counties with a very wide perspective. There’s a pavilion called Wuxiang Pavilion at the top to rest. Avoid the Fenglinggang direction; that route requires climbing over several peaks in reverse. 🍁 Scenic all year, autumn is the best In spring, pick wild vegetables and see azaleas. In summer, enjoy divine tea and magnolias. In autumn, harvest wild fruits and admire red maples. In winter, play in the snow and ice. Autumn is the highlight—from late September to mid-October, pentagonal and thirteen-lobed maples paint the mountain in red and purple gradients. The park also hosts a maple leaf music festival. The “Eighteen Bends” road, 7 km north, is a popular spot with colorful winding mountain roads. New drivers should be cautious—many curves and no parking allowed. 🎫 Practical information · Address: Taiping Village, Maquanzi Township, Fushun County, Fushun City · Tickets: Adult ticket about 50 yuan, online advance purchase discount (about 39.9 yuan); half price for seniors and children over 1.3 meters · Hours: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM (closes at 4:00 PM) · Transportation: Strongly recommend driving. Navigate to “Tiannü Mountain Forest Park.” About 2 hours from Shenyang; 1–1.5 hours from Fushun. You can add “Eighteen Panling” as a waypoint for beautiful scenery along the way. Parking fee is 10 yuan/day · Suggested duration: 2–3 hours · Tips: Wear non-slip sports shoes; bring your own water and snacks as there are almost no supplies on the mountain; bring non-slip gloves because the railings at One Line Sky are very cold; restrooms are scarce, so use them when you see one By the time we left Tiannü Mountain, it was afternoon. Sunlight filtered through the canopy, casting dappled shadows. The mountain isn’t high, the trail isn’t long, but the lush greenery, cool breeze, and peaceful quiet away from the noise made it hard to leave. If you want a place to reconnect with nature, set aside half a day for Tiannü Mountain—turn sideways to pass through the stone crevice at One Line Sky, feel the breeze at the peak, and leave the city’s heat and fatigue behind the mountain gate.

Hidden in Fushun, the “Liaodong Baizhangji” is a pristine secret spot that even the laziest can fully enjoy — a guide to Yulong Creek in Fushun A friend wanted a quiet place to escape, where they could play in the water, experience untouched nature, and not get tired. So we picked a sunny weekend, left Shenyang, and after about a two-hour drive, we arrived at this hidden mountain and water paradise in Qingyuan. Yulong Creek is located at the top of Nanchangling Ridge in Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun. A creek runs through the entire scenic area, flowing in the shape of a giant dragon. The water is clear and emerald green, which is how it got its name. Covering more than 3,000 acres, the area is a national key ecological protection zone with lush vegetation and a very high concentration of negative oxygen ions, earning it the nickname “natural oxygen bar.” The biggest feature of the scenic area is that you don’t have to climb up and down. The entrance is at the mountaintop, and you walk downhill all the way. To go back up, you can take the flying magic carpet. Going down the mountain, you can ride the dry slide or drift along the creek. Both elderly and children can easily enjoy the whole route. 🌊 Highlights Nanda Hu waterfall is the soul of the scenic area. Clear mountain water rushes down from a height, roaring like thousands of horses charging. Mist rises around the waterfall, often creating rainbows that stretch across the canyon. The misty surroundings make it an excellent summer retreat. The area features more than 20 classic natural attractions, including Yingke Peak, Fairy Waterfall, and the Chicken Blood Giant Rock. The canyon stretches about 8 km, with towering steep peaks on both sides, making you feel like you’re in a primeval secret land. 🎢 Activities The unique terrain offers a variety of experiences. The 2,600-meter high-altitude glass drift is the longest aerial drift in Northeast China. The rainbow slide is colorful and thrilling as you speed down. The glass suspension bridge has a large drop and spans the canyon. There are also jungle crossings and the flying magic carpet. 🍁 Scenic all year round In spring, azaleas bloom across the hills. Summer is perfect for cooling off and playing in the water. Autumn is the highlight — from late September to late October, the mountains are covered with the best maple foliage, with three- and thirteen-lobed maples decorating the valley in vibrant colors. Winter features a winter wonderland with snow play areas in the forest. 📍 Practical information The scenic area is located at the top of Nanchangling Ridge in Qingyuan Town, Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County. It’s close to Qingyuan County seat and near the Qingyuan exit of the Shenji Expressway, making it easy to reach. Driving is recommended; just navigate to “Yulong Creek Scenic Area.” There is parking at the entrance. Opening hours are approximately 8:30 AM–4:30 PM. Dining services are available inside. By the time we left Yulong Creek, it was afternoon. The lush greenery and cool breeze made it hard to leave. There were no crowds, only endless green and air packed with negative oxygen ions. If you want to find a place to reconnect with nature, be sure to set aside a day for Yulong Creek — stand for a while under Nanda Hu waterfall, feel the speed and thrill on the glass drift, and dip your feet in the creek, leaving the city’s heat and fatigue behind the mountain gate.

Just 2 hours from Shenyang, enter the most complete “plant gene bank” in Northeast China — a visit to Fushun’s Hemu National Forest Park A friend wanted to find a quiet place that offers hiking, water activities, and a pristine environment. So we picked a weekend, drove from Shenyang, took the Shenji Expressway for about 2 hours, and arrived at this green secret tucked in the Changbai Mountain foothills. Hemu National Forest Park is located in Yongling Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City. It is a national AAAA-level scenic area. The park covers 1,367.85 hectares, stretches 7.5 km long, and its highest peak, Shihuadingzi, stands at 1,019.2 meters. It is the most botanically diverse garden in Northeast China and is known as a “natural oxygen bar.” ⛰️ Two routes, two experiences The park is divided into Line 1 (leisure and water activities) and Line 2 (mountain climbing challenge). Line 1 “winding path to tranquility”: stroll along the wooden boardwalk by the stream, fully shaded with minimal elevation gain. It’s perfect for kids to play in the water during summer, with many walnut trees along the way. Line 2 “crossing the natural barrier”: a true mountain climbing route, about 3,088 meters long with a total ascent of 558 meters. Along the way, you’ll pass more than 20 natural attractions including Yixiantian, Baishilaizi, and Shenguixia Mountain. Recommended route: Hanwang Stone → Wild Boar Forest → Sacred Tree Cave → Winding Corridor → Golden Cicada Stone → Jade Rabbit Rock → Yixiantian → Pine Old Companion Buddha Valley. Yixiantian is the key spot. It’s not a built staircase but a real mountain rock crevice where you need to climb up holding iron railings. 🎫 Practical information · Address: Hemu Village, Yongling Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City · Tickets: On-site 50–60 CNY, online about 49.5 CNY, including sightseeing bus. Children under 1.2 m, seniors over 70, veterans, and people with disabilities are free; students and seniors aged 60–69 pay half price. Sightseeing bus round trip 20 CNY per person (free ticket holders must purchase separately). Last bus at 4:30 PM. · Opening hours: about 8:00 AM–5:00 PM · Transportation: Self-driving is highly recommended. Navigate to “Hemu National Forest Park Parking Lot.” From Shenyang, take the Shenji Expressway to Nanzamu Exit (or Jiahe Town/Muqi Town exit), then head southeast toward Xinbin. Parking fee is 10 CNY per visit. · Suggested duration: half a day to a full day. For completing Line 2 and reaching the summit, start early in the morning. · Tips: Bring your own water and food as none are sold inside; wear non-slip hiking shoes because the rocks at Yixiantian are slippery; bring climbing gloves for the iron railings at Yixiantian; restrooms inside the park are basic, so it’s best to use facilities at the entrance; snakes may be encountered in the mountains, so be mentally prepared if you’re afraid. Leaving Hemu in the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows. No crowds, no commercial noise, just endless greenery and air rich in negative ions. If you want to reconnect with nature, set aside a day for Hemu — squeeze through the rock crevice at Yixiantian, stroll slowly along the boardwalk by the stream, and leave the city’s heat and fatigue behind the mountain gate. Nearby attractions: The park is only 10 km from Hetu Ala City and about 10 km from the World Cultural Heritage Qing Yongling Tomb. If you have time, you can combine these into a Manchu culture + natural scenery itinerary.

Just 1 hour from Shenyang, visit the largest Lei Feng-themed memorial hall in China — the Fushun Lei Feng Memorial Hall Before coming to Fushun, a friend told me there was a place “worth a special trip.” So I chose a sunny weekend, drove from Shenyang, and took less than an hour along the Shenji Expressway to reach No. 61 East Section of Leifeng Road in Wanghua District. From afar, you can see the spacious park covering 99,900 square meters. This is the earliest built and largest Lei Feng-themed memorial hall in the country. Construction began in 1964, it opened in 1965, and has undergone four renovations and expansions. Entering the park, the first thing you see is the Lei Feng monument. Made entirely of granite, the main structure is 13.4 meters tall. The lower part of the monument is inlaid with white marble reliefs. Walking further leads to the memorial area. Lei Feng’s tomb is built from gray-white granite, surrounded by ancient pines and cypresses. In front of the tomb plaza stands a 5-meter-tall full-body statue of Lei Feng. Many people offer flowers and bow here. The whole area is quiet and solemn. Next to the memorial area is the core building — the Lei Feng deeds exhibition hall. The building covers 7,800 square meters, with 4,100 square meters of exhibition space. The hall houses 2,245 items, including photos, artifacts, and documents. The exhibition hall has two floors. The first floor mainly features scene recreations — combined scenes like “Lei Feng bidding farewell to his mother at home” and “The dedicated bulldozer operator,” paired with high-tech dynamic displays. The second floor showcases the origins and development of nationwide Lei Feng learning activities. The most impressive exhibit is a bulldozer driven by Lei Feng — the Stalin model 80 heavy bulldozer, 2.4 meters tall and weighing 13 tons, the crown jewel of the memorial hall. Lei Feng operated this bulldozer at Ansteel in 1958. In 1995, Ansteel donated it to the memorial hall, and it now rests quietly in the exhibition hall. The hall also displays precious artifacts such as the Selected Works of Mao Zedong that Lei Feng read, his only recorded speech, original diary manuscripts, and his old military uniform. The park is divided into six functional areas: exhibition area, memorial area, monument garden, sculpture area, youth education activity area, and comprehensive service area. The monument garden features inscribed stone tablets; the sculpture area has a group of Lei Feng-themed sculptures. Touring the entire park takes about 2–3 hours for an in-depth visit. Practical information: The memorial hall is free to enter. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM (last entry at 4:00 PM), closed on Mondays. No reservation is needed; entry is by ID card. Free guided tours are available daily at 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. For self-driving, navigate to “Fushun Lei Feng Memorial Hall,” which has free parking. Bus routes 15, 37, and 54 go directly to “Lei Feng Memorial Hall Station.” It is recommended to spend 2–3 hours here. There is a Lei Feng-themed post office inside where you can get a commemorative stamp. By the time I left the memorial hall, it was nearly noon, and sunlight was shining on the granite monument. This large memorial built for an ordinary soldier stands quietly in a corner of Fushun city. If you come to Fushun, be sure to visit — stand for a moment in front of the monument, take your time walking through the exhibition hall, and carry that quiet strength in your heart.
