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.

Shenyang Imperial Palace
Palace name in Chinese: 沈阳故宫. Many people call this place "Shenyang Gugong". It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Everything is interesting here: low buildings, street walls with dragons, flowers and trees in parks, even manholes in the palace! The territory is not as big as in Beijing, but there is also a red wall that protected this palace. Many buildings have survived from the 17th century. You can take a guide, usually girls in very beautiful ancient Chinese clothes. Inside the museum there are a large number of exhibits, these are things that belonged to the emperor.

Punch the Shenyang Imperial Palace | The Shenyang Imperial Palace, built in 1625, is one of the two remaining palace complexes in China. It has been more than 400 years old and was the palace of Nurhachi and Emperor Taiji in the early Qing Dynasty. After moving to Beijing, the palace was called the Public Palace and Liudu Palace.

Speaking of the Forbidden City, there is actually another one in addition to Beijing in China. This is the Shenyang Imperial Palace in Shenyang, also known as the Shengjing Palace. The history of the Forbidden City in Shenyang is much shorter than that of the Forbidden City in Beijing. It is only 400 years ago. In fact, it was only a short period of time in the early Qing Dynasty. When the Qing Dynasty moved into Beijing, the Shenyang Imperial Palace was only used as the “Public Palace” where Liudu Palace exists. The area of the Forbidden City in Shenyang is much smaller than that of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The craftsmanship of the ancient buildings is still remarkable, and it is well preserved. It was also included in the UNESCO World Heritage sites List in 2004.
The snow of Shengjing is soft and quiet.
Come back to Shenyang, time back, through the Qing Dynasty. Wearing a special gig costume, it has a strong ancient flavor. Stepping into the Forbidden City in Shenyang, the red walls, green tiles and white snow add color to Shengjing.
Compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Forbidden City is full of rich Manchu ethnic styles, combined with the local characteristics of Northeast China, which is unmatched by the Forbidden City in Beijing.

I've finally arrived at the other side of the 'Anywhere Door' - Shenyang Imperial Palace.
Shenyang Imperial Palace, also known as the Mukden Palace, was the residence of Emperors Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, and Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty before they entered the Shanhai Pass. Afterward, Emperors Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang used it as their temporary palace during their eastern tours to worship ancestors.
The Shenyang Imperial Palace has distinct Manchu characteristics. It is not only an architectural marvel but also a treasure trove of history, culture, and art. Here, one can feel the splendor and glory of ancient emperors and the profound historical heritage.
Walking inside the palace, it feels as if time has reversed, traversing the long river of history, strolling among the palaces, feeling the echoes of every brick and tile, the reincarnation of every grass and tree.

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!❤️

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

☁️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

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

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!

Shenyang Imperial Palace - A must-visit on your Shenyang trip
🏔 Attraction Introduction
A visit to Shenyang wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Shenyang Imperial Palace. While it may not be as grand and magnificent as the Forbidden City in Beijing, it has its own unique charm as the ancestral land of the Qing Dynasty's Shengjing region.
📝 Tips for Visiting
The Shenyang Imperial Palace has been getting better and better. It mainly consists of two parts: the palace complex and the Dazheng Hall area. Many of the halls have been protectively restored, with carved beams and painted rafters, and brilliant colors that showcase the royal grandeur.
Here, you can experience the atmosphere of life, work, and entertainment of the Qing Dynasty's royal family in its early days. Imagine how the ancients lived here, explore the lifestyle and interests of the imperial concubines of the early Qing Dynasty, and as you walk through the corridors and pathways, surrounded by many visitors dressed in ancient costumes, you feel as if you have truly returned to the past and merged into the life of the Qing people.
The Dazheng Hall is even more solemn and respectful, perhaps because it was the political center. The ten King's Pavilions on both sides represent the Manchu Eight Banners, each with its own story. How could Nurhaci, standing in the very center, not be stirred and spirited?
🚗 Transportation Information
Transportation to the Shenyang Imperial Palace is very convenient. You can get there by bus or by taking Subway Line 1. There are also many dedicated tour groups that you can join with a guide, which is both worry-free and convenient.
📌 Price and Other TIPS

Xiamen Little Potato's Brave Weekend Adventure in Shenyang (Sleep-in Edition)
Day1️✈️
Flight at 6:25 PM on Friday, landing around 10 PM
Shenyang airport is quite far from the city center, about half an hour by taxi
Ordered BBQ takeout in advance through a ride-hailing app
So it arrived just as we did
Stayed at Shenyang Conrad Hotel, the view from the 88th floor is amazing
The takeout was from 'Ruyue Erzhi' nearby, the QQ chicken rack was stunning! 😋
Day2️ Shenyang Imperial Palace + Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence + Shenyang Xiaonan Catholic Church + Zhong Street
Woke up and had breakfast at the hotel
Took a taxi to Shenyang Imperial Palace~ You can find a freelance tour guide at the entrance, about 20 yuan per person. Joined a group tour for an explanation (which is quite necessary, otherwise you'd just be skimming through)
Ten minutes' walk from there is Zhang Xueliang's Mansion
Visited in the same way
Xiaonan Church is nearby ⛪ can't enter, just took photos at the door
Zhong Street: casually strolled and bought Shengjing pastries as souvenirs
Since we had a late breakfast, lunch was also late
Old Siji main store for chicken rack: boiled chicken rack mixed with hot and sour sauce
Xiaoliang Spicy Mix: a bit disappointing
Legend Chicken Rack: sweet ones are better than salty ones
A barbecue meal: delicious grilled chicken rack, spicy stir-fried assorted shellfish is a must
Dinner was clay oven-roasted meat
Chose 'Korean Style Grilled Beef and Cold Noodles Shop' near the hotel
Super delicious!!!
Day3️ Early Market + Bathhouse
If you can get up for the early market, go for it
I really wanted to go, but just couldn't wake up haha
Who would have thought that the Shenyang Imperial Palace would have so many treasures
❗️ The Shenyang Imperial Palace, also known as the Shengjing Imperial Palace, is one of the two existing major palace complexes in China, the other needs no introduction.
❗️ It was originally built by Nurhaci, and Huang Taiji upgraded and transformed it into the Shenyang Imperial Palace we see today. From here, they set out to delineate the map of China🗺️.
❗️ Emperors Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang each stayed here temporarily during their eleven ancestral worship ceremonies in Shengjing.
Therefore, the scale and historical significance of the Shenyang Imperial Palace are extraordinary, and it truly deserves the title of the real dragon's🐉 throne.
Unexpectedly, there are so many exquisite royal treasures on display in the Shenyang Imperial Palace, with fine craftsmanship and well-preserved, really no less significant than the Forbidden City - this trip was truly a jackpot.
Shenyang Imperial Palace, the red walls of the Imperial Palace
I love Shenyang❤️
Shenyang Imperial Palace Visitor's Guide👀Detailed Explanation🔍Shenyang Imperial Palace is really worth a visit! I really like Shenyang, especially the friends in Shenyang, they are really very inclusive, and I love this land even more because of the people here!
⏰ Time: Be sure to check the opening hours of the Imperial Palace, it closes at 15:45 in the afternoon, be sure to go early❗️
🎫 Tickets: No need to make an appointment in advance, but you can buy tickets in advance, 50💰 half price 25💰 The Imperial Palace is beautiful when it snows. If you can't make an appointment with the Beijing Imperial Palace, I highly recommend going to see the Shenyang Imperial Palace, the same grandeur, no need to make an appointment!
🐝 Route: Finally, a map🗺️ is provided for reference. Personally, I feel that it is very large, at least 1-2 hours. If you find an explanation and look in detail, it is estimated to start at 3 hours, but it is worth it✅ I was in a hurry and wanted to rush to see Zhang Xueliang, so I didn't make an appointment for an explanation, which is a bit of a loss.
📷 Photography: wow, it's very suitable for taking pictures in summer! There is a street of cheongsam rental + makeup at the entrance, and there are emperors and concubines everywhere inside, which is very photogenic! But it always feels a bit cold in winter
🌟 Highlights: I recommend playing with stamps, there are stamp books; you can buy a luggage tag, this word also has a special emphasis, it is very commemorative; there are many exhibitions, take the time to see them all, but you need to queue up to enter and exit; you need to climb to the highest building, people with bad legs and feet need to pay attention‼️
The palace wall under the setting sun is really too beautiful🌇
I'm not going to Harbin, nor to Beijing, I came to Shenyang!
The Palace Museum in Shenyang also exists.
The Palace Museum in Beijing is now one of the most popular tourist spots in the country, often hard to get a ticket. It is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is also a Palace Museum in Shenyang, which was the imperial palace before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. Together with the Palace Museum in Beijing, they are the two major palace architectural complexes in China. In 2004, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage as an extension project of the cultural heritage of the Ming and Qing Imperial Palaces.
The Palace Museum in Shenyang is by no means a miniature version of the Palace Museum in Beijing. The main hall with double eaves and pointed roofs is extremely rare in the country. Moreover, if you want to take pictures of red walls and snow scenes, the density of people in the Palace Museum in Shenyang is much smaller than that in the Palace Museum in Beijing, and there is more often snow.
Tour route:
According to the layout of the building and the order of construction, it can be divided into three parts: East Road, Middle Road, West Road
East Road: The Great Political Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion are the places where the emperor held grand ceremonies and the Eight Banners ministers worked. They were built by Nurhachi, the Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, after he moved his capital to Shenyang in 1625. They are the earliest buildings. The symbolic building in the middle is the Great Political Hall. The two in the front are the Left Wing King Pavilion and the Right Wing King Pavilion, followed by the Eight Banners King Pavilion.
Middle Road: Daqing Gate, Chongzheng Hall, Phoenix Tower, Five Palaces on the Platform (Zhonggong Qingning Palace, East Side Guanju Palace, Yanqing Palace, West Side Linzhi Palace, Yongfu Palace), are the places where the emperor carried out political activities and the concubines lived. They were built during the period of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty and belong to the second phase of construction.
West Road: Theater, Jiayin Hall, Palace Gate, Wenshu Pavilion, Yangxi Pavilion, Stele Pavilion and Nine Halls, are the places where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty read books and watched operas when they toured Shengjing, and stored the 'Four Books'. The buildings were built in the 46th year of Qianlong (1781) and belong to the last group of buildings. The coffee shop and exit of the scenic area are set up in this area.
Opening hours:
April 10-October 10, 8:30-17:30
October 11-April 9, 9:00-16:30.
Note: Closed on Monday mornings (except for statutory holidays and July and August), open at 13:00

The fridge magnets from Shenyang Imperial Palace are incredibly beautiful!!!!
As the New Year is approaching, the festive atmosphere in Shengjing Square City is full. The dragon lanterns and 'Purple Qi Comes from the East' lanterns across the Imperial Palace are being set up, and are expected to be completed by February 2nd. The cultural and creative wooden fridge magnets are super auspicious and wealthy, and there are other rotating fridge magnets. Sisters, hurry up. Many of them are unique cultural and creative products from Shenyang Imperial Palace, and the Dazheng Hall and Shi Wang Ting are full of Manchu cultural style. There are quite a few cultural and creative products based on this~
