Shenyang Imperial Palace Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Always Worth The while
We have been here so many times now and every season has its own charakter. Displaying colors differently, a lot people on a holidays and just some when its getting colder or early in the morning. Friendly stuff and basically done within 3 hours. Dont feel shy to ask for a photo with the visitors wearing a costume. Be nice and ask and they are more then willing to take part. And smile.
We are back in september:-)
Shenyang Palace Museum, another mysterious place as well as Beijing
If you know the Beijing Palace Museum(the Forbidden City), you must should know the Shenyang Palace Museum . Located in Shenyang, capital of Liaoning Province, China, the Shenyang Palace Museum is a cluster of Qing Dynasty palaces with a history of nearly 400 years. It is 24 kilometers away from Shenyang Airport, 6 kilometers away from Shenyang Railway Station and 5 kilometers away from Shenyang North Railway Station. No matter what kind of transportation you take, you can easily and quickly reach this mysterious place.
Why is the Shenyang Palace Museum also called the Palace Museum? It is not a branch of the Beijing Palace Museum , but a precious treasure left after the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing in 1644.
Here, you can also see the royal court, you can also see the red walls, each house reflects the Chinese architectural aesthetics.
Come on! See the beautiful and fantastic city.

A piece of Beijing in Northeast China!
Coming here really feels like you teleported away from Shenyang city all the way to Beijing! I really felt like I’m in Beijing at the time, but definitely worth the visit. The Imperial palace was the former palace of the Later Jin dynasty and the early Qing dynasty. It was built in 1625, and the first three Qing emperors lived there from 1625 to 1644. In 2004, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as an extension of the Imperial Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, or Forbidden City, in Beijing. And this is why you’ll really feel like you’ve teleported to Beijing.
Stunning Shenyang Imperial Palace MUST SEE
🤩 I was blown away by this gorgeous ancient palace built by the Qing dynasty. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen in China, I feel it’s the nicest and most authentically preserved palaces I’ve seen yet and is on par with the Forbidden City in Beijing.
📝Starting building in 1625 and occupies a space of 6 hectares with 114 buildings. Everywhere you look you are surrounded by dragons and the way the afternoon light plays in the shadows is stunning. Would highly recommend going just after lunch and catching the golden hour here as the ceramic yellows and greens shine. The wooden beams haven’t been replaced and feel close to their original form. We spent several hours wandering around, any of the extra rooms have been converted to small museums showcasing some artifacts from the era. There is the room where the last emperor of is an he Qing dynasty in China was born which is neat.
🎫 To get in, you purchase tickets through WeChat for 50rmb each. Surrounding the palace is a huge outer ring wall made of dark grey brick and there are many shops and delicious places to eat close by. It’s been hard hit by Covid as you can tell there used to be more visitors but it’s well worth the visit as it’s quiet!
❤️ Would go back in a heartbeat to see this stunning palace and could spend hours wandering it’s glorious buildings.

The sisters have arrived in Europe, just like Dalian!! (With guide)
Dalian in winter is really too beautiful! Although I didn't see heavy snow
but the sunset by the sea is really beautiful!! The scenery is not inferior to foreign countries!
·
Day 1️⃣
Zhongshan Square—Russian Style Street—Nanshan Road—Donggang—Oriental Water City
If you have enough time in the morning, you can also go to Songyun Temple
Day 2️⃣
Cross-sea Bridge—Zoo—Silver Beach—Fujiazhuang Park
The zoo can be visited or not, because I want to see pandas, so I arranged it. In summer, the zoo can be replaced with Haida cable car, at the Lotus Mountain viewing platform, the sea view is very beautiful
Day 3️⃣
Sea Rhyme—201 Tram-Fisherman's Wharf—Lingjiao Bay
Sea Rhyme and Bangchui Island are next to each other, you need physical strength to play~ We chose Sea Rhyme, took a taxi to the south gate, took a sightseeing car to the Rising Sun Square-check in at the Morning Beach
Then exit the north gate to reach the Sea Rhyme bus station and take the tram, there are three stations🆓
Day 4️⃣
Tower Bay—Black Reef Park—Xinghai Square

Dalian is very beautiful! Come again when it's warmer!!
You don't have to go to the Seine, the Xinghai Square in Dalian after the snow is so beautiful!
This is really not abroad! But Dalian~
This place is right next to the Dalian Swimming Hall at Xinghai Square
After the snow, it's really beautiful to cry!
The riverside is the European-style building with a roof covered with white snow
There are also mist and some seagulls in the morning!
No matter how you take pictures, they are all good
And compared to the Silver Beach, there really aren't many people~
-
📷tips:
1️⃣The photos were taken by the river next to the Dalian Swimming Hall bus stop~ It's really great to take pictures of the European-style buildings of Xinghai Square here! And there is also a large grass slope next to it, the snow is also very good to shoot~
2️⃣Remember to go in the morning~ The mist will rise on the river surface in the morning and the photos will be more beautiful! You can bring some dry food with you~ Because I saw some seagulls this time! (But there are more seagulls on the beach of Xinghai Square)

❤️Watch the sunrise at Dalian Natural History Museum (6:30-8:00)
The romantic day starts with watching a sunrise🌅. Before the sunrise, go to the beach next to the Dalian Natural History Museum, where you can take pictures of the sunrise slowly rising over the cross-sea bridge (unfortunately, the luck was too bad that day, and I didn't see it in the end😭), and take a set of beautiful reef shots.
.
🧡Binhai West Road + Lotus Mountain (9:00-12:30)
Binhai West Road walking route, feel the romance of half mountain and half sea. Climb to the top of Lotus Mountain to overlook Dalian 360° (unfortunately, the fog was too heavy that day, and again😭)

Dalian winter one-day citywalk, originally wanted to start from the romantic sunrise🌅, and end when the night lights up🔚. Although there is regret that I can't see the sunrise, it doesn't prevent it from being a romantic and beautiful day.

Escape the Chinese summer heat
There is nothing cultural or historic about Xinghai Square, however, it is still one of my favoruite places in all of China. It makes you feel the excitement of being by the sea and playing on rides just like a child. I live in Shanghai and still love to spend a summer holiday in Dalian and in Xinghai square, the perfect summer holiday desitnation in China.
Whilst the rest of China is super hot, Dalian feels like an oasis. The cool sea breeze and less humid climate. Xinghai square is a great place to enjoy the fun of Dalian.
The square itself is just a very large area of grass which makes walking and parking to the seafront more difficult. However, it is beautifully maintained and adds to the charm.
Next to the square are lots of fun rides, some good restaurants and a large concrete monument/ structure which looks like something from a skate park.
The square gets very busy in the summer but never enough to need to queue for things. There is a small area of beach which can get dirty with things from people’s barbeques. However, there is a great view of the bridge and out to sea.
One of our favourite (but childish) things to do is to rent a small electric car and drive it around. You cant go very far but it all adds to the childish fun of this place.
In our time in Dalian we found ourself going back here again and again

Until I went to Yantai❗️I fell in love with this romantic and niche city. |
Until I went to Yantai❗️I fell in love with this romantic and niche city ||| Recently went to Qingdao, Weihai, and Yantai.
Before, I didn't know much about the city of Yantai.
After going there, this seaside 🏖️town brought me too many surprises!
Share a 3-day travel guide and photo spots with everyone, yyds!
Everyone, hurry up and get on your horses 🌈
🚗[Transportation]
We are self-driving, about 80 yuan per day, it's very convenient to go anywhere, parking in Yantai is not expensive, and there are many free parking lots by the seaside, which is totally acceptable.
⏰[Itinerary arrangement]
Day 1: Whale watching 🐳 at the beach - Jinshatan Seaside Park - Yantai Mountain - Fisherman's Wharf
Day 2: Binhai Middle Road - Yantai University - Suo Chengli - Pink Beach
Day 3: Yangma Island
📸[Great place for taking photos]
🎈Seaside Park (free)
The stranded whale that many people have been asking about is right here! Navigation 🧭 City Exhibition Center, free parking! If you want fewer people for taking photos, go in the morning!
🎈Yantai Mountain Park (free)
Yantai Mountain Park offers a panoramic view of the sea and the cityscape of Yantai, and you can also go down to the beach.
🎈Fisherman's Wharf (free)
The Fisherman's Wharf has very beautiful European-style buildings, known as Little Prague. Especially during sunset, it's a great place for taking photos! There are also some cafes on the wharf where you can sit and relax.
🎈Binhai Middle Road (free)
The coastline of Binhai Middle Road is super beautiful. I almost go there to stroll every day. There are also many beautiful road signs along the way. Taking pictures of the sidewalks together, the street style atmosphere is full!
🎈Pink Shell Beach (Free)
Here are many pink shells, don't miss them if you like them!
🎈Yongma Island (free)
Yangma Island is a place I really like in Yantai, known as the "Little Maldives"! Drive or rent an electric bike to circle the island clockwise, the sea, the pier, the sunset, you won't be disappointed! (✒️A detailed introduction to Yangma Island will be provided in the next article)
🏠[Accommodation]
It is recommended to live near Yantai University, which is close to Binhai Middle Road and has a wide variety of food options. You can also take a walk by the seaside at night and enjoy the sea breeze, which is extremely comfortable.
🍜[Food]
Yantai and Weihai are both close to Korea, so there are more Korean-style restaurants. We usually eat near the university campus and look for popular restaurants, which is never wrong.
🌈Yantai, this seaside town, is clean, comfortable, and has beautiful scenery with few people.
Until now, thinking back still makes me miss the days over there so much 🥰, they were too beautiful!
Dalian’s Fisherman Pier
Dalian is one of my favorite cities in China.
This city is very walkable and has so much to offer.
Fisherman pier is one of the most popular locations in Dalian. Enjoy a nice little stroll and above all, the view. If you’ve ever been to Lunemberg in Nova-Scotia 🇨🇦, this place has the same vibe.
Have fun!
