豆米搜啦Taking the kids to the Liaoning Provincial Science and Technology Museum was an immersive scientific feast! In the interactive exhibits, children operated light and shadow experiments and built mechanical structures, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. The aerospace, physics, and life science sections were richly illustrated with engaging explanations, making abstract knowledge intuitive. The entire experience was a fun and educational one, satisfying their thirst for exploration and planting the seeds of scientific thinking – a truly meaningful family time that's worth visiting again and again!

午后时光～5 out of 10! The Liaoning Provincial Museum is Shenyang's hidden cultural treasure; a whole day isn't enough! As the first museum in New China, the Liaoning Provincial Museum truly embodies the spirit of "understated yet rich in content"! Free admission and directly accessible by Metro Line 2 (Exit D, just a 150-meter walk), it's incredibly convenient, requiring no navigation. The architecture is magnificent and grand, with a clear exhibition layout. The 22 exhibition halls cover 17 categories of collections, including prehistoric culture, Liao Dynasty artifacts, and calligraphy and painting masterpieces, with over 115,000 artifacts to explore—a paradise for history buffs! The must-see exhibits are truly breathtaking! The white jade pig-dragon from the Hongshan Culture is exquisite; its rounded shape is both ancient and mysterious, a marvel of 5,000-year-old carving techniques. Zhang Xu's "Four Poems in Ancient Style" features unrestrained cursive script; even the ink smudges are clearly visible under magnification, exuding the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty. There's also the Murong Xianbei's gold hairpin shaped like a flowering tree and the Yongzheng kiln-fired red-glazed pomegranate-shaped vase—both aesthetically pleasing and historically significant. For a deeper understanding, I recommend renting a VR audio guide for 50 yuan. It not only provides detailed explanations but also comes with a postcard, making it far more rewarding than wandering around aimlessly. Don't miss the volunteer guides either, as they are packed with information! The exhibition hall is vast, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Allow at least 3-4 hours for a leisurely visit. There's a restaurant on the first floor for a light meal, and the "Hairpin Flower" series of souvenirs in the cultural and creative area are very attractive—perfect for gifts or personal enjoyment. The only minor drawback is that some of the museum's most prized artifacts (such as the "Auspicious Cranes" painting) may be temporarily closed for conservation purposes; check the official website for announcements before you go. Whether you're introducing history to your children or experiencing cultural heritage with friends, the Liaoning Provincial Museum is worth visiting multiple times! Every artifact here tells a story spanning thousands of years. After a visit, you'll be deeply moved by the profoundness of Chinese culture. Don't miss it when you're in Shenyang!

136***18A family of three came here, it was really good, the reception girl was very enthusiastic, the explanation was very professional, and she was also very friendly to the children. She answered all the questions seriously, which was a big thumbs up👍. There are many robot production lines in the factory, which is spectacular. My child likes cars, and coming here is really an eye-opener, which makes the child have a deeper understanding of BMW cars. 👍👍👍👍👍The coffee and sandwiches at the work lunch are very good

AndrewTsuiLocated in the Zhongjie Tourist Area, along with Shenyang Imperial Palace and Liu Laogen Grand Stage, Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence is just a few hundred meters from the Imperial Palace, so there's no need to take a taxi. If you only visit the residence and skip the Financial Museum and the Enamel Exhibition, the entrance fee is very cheap, only around ten yuan. I didn't visit the other two smaller attractions due to time constraints. Along the way, there are unofficial guides offering explanations; this is optional. I had done my research beforehand, so I didn't need anyone to tell me anything—I could explain everything myself. The residence is divided into the old house and the new house, with the main attraction being the new house. Popular items include some of Zhang Xueliang's personal belongings from his later years, donated by his family, including a Mickey Mouse hat—all original and very valuable. The entire visit should take about two hours, so allow plenty of time.

M28***52It's definitely worth a visit; the exhibits are very rich. The underground bank and the heavy iron gates are all historical sites worth exploring. The banknotes from various countries are also beautiful, and it's a great way to broaden your knowledge and expand your horizons.

Anonymous userVisiting the Governor's Palace allows you to learn about history, see China's development, and appreciate their efforts. It's quite impressive. There are very few visitors here, but those under 70 years old need to buy a ticket.

jizhuoyingThe tour guide was incredibly experienced, with over 20 years of experience. He could effortlessly recount various historical accounts, both official and unofficial, and his interaction with the audience was excellent. However, his speaking speed was too fast, which made it a bit tiring for me, a Chinese speaker.

_We***40With its renowned reputation, it's a must-see when visiting Shenyang. Here are a few details to share. Without spoiling anything, the Liu Laogen Grand Stage is now labeled a "Green Errenzhuan" (two-person opera) production, which doesn't affect the quality of the performances. However, locals also recommend the Nanfeng Grand Theater, claiming it's more grounded in Errenzhuan (though I didn't go). Liu Laogen is more expensive, as you'll usually see some of the people you see on TV. When it comes to ticket purchases, Liu Laogen's process is somewhat of a hybrid of online and offline, unlike the usual practice. You can buy tickets in advance through the official ticket app, but the offline ticket booth doesn't open until 10 a.m. on the morning of the show to select and collect your seats. This means if you don't select your seat early and wait until showtime to redeem your ticket, you'll only be assigned the last seat in that section. You can also buy tickets offline early, and you can choose your ideal seat, but there's a chance that a large number of people who buy tickets online in advance will sell out early (this situation shouldn't be very likely). Buying tickets through mainstream platforms like Ctrip doesn't require or require offline seat selection; the system automatically assigns tickets, but you still have to go to the ticket window to redeem them. I feel like the seats you're assigned are generally in the middle row, not the closest seats (because I bought my ticket as soon as it became available at 12 a.m., and still ended up in the middle row). As for other details, the theater has a snack and souvenir shop with reasonable prices. You can also scan the QR code at your seat to buy, and a staff member will bring it to your scanned location. If you arrive early, there's a warm-up performance at the theater entrance.

E14***18I was the only visitor this time, and the guide was incredibly attentive! She explained everything very thoroughly, highlighting key artifacts and emphasizing their importance. The two-hour tour lasted a full two hours, and she even answered all my questions. The Shenyang Museum has many worthwhile artifacts to see, and this tour was truly well worth listening to!

行走的奶酪君When you come to Zhongjie, you just don't want to leave. You can't stop shopping. Food, entertainment, culture, history, everything can be explored for a whole day. The scenery is beautiful and there is no lack of fun.
