The story of Shenyang began at the end of last year in the early winter, going to the ski resort, watching the lights in the snow, and experiencing the most indispensable barbecue and bath in the winter in Northeast China. For a long time, winter is the life of Shenyang season, this April trip, just know, Shenyang in the spring, wonderful.

Go to the heavy Shenyang Palace, reflect on the change of dynasties, the passage of time. Go to the young marshal Zhang Xueliang's home, a close to his legendary life. Go to the "influencer" cafe and clock out with a room full of Shiba inu. Go to the Kanto Film City, do a stray through the Republic of China woman.

What's more, I was amazed at the cute little tuanko in the panda house, the wild ducks lounging in the lake, the lazy alpacas stretching their necks, and the occasional look up to the trees full of flowers, which is very different from the Shenyang I saw in winter. All this vitality and warmth, spring flowers, grass and nightingales, is the appearance of Shenyang in spring.

Wander around Shenyang | This palace is just as beautiful
When we talk about the Forbidden City, we always think of the Forbidden City in Beijing. In fact, in Shenyang, there is also a palace, the same long history, to witness the changes of the Qing Dynasty.


In the tenth year of Emperor Taizu's mandate, Nurhachi designated Shenyang as the capital and began to build the Shenyang Palace Museum. Later, Huangtaiji changed the name of the city to Shengjing and proclaimed himself emperor there. After the Qing Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, Shengjing Palace became the "secondary capital palace", and later many Qing emperors came here to admire the relics of the former emperor.

The Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of the only two remaining royal palace complexes in China, and the only one outside the Customs. Its architectural art, historical value can be seen. Roaming around the Shenyang Imperial Palace, I also found many interesting architectural designs, such as chimneys, which undertook the smoke exhaust work of the entire palace. Dazheng Hall of octagonal heavy eaves pavilion design, is also unique. The stones everywhere in the Forbidden City have their own shapes and tempers.

Here, I learned a lot of interesting historical facts. For example, the palace of the harem always uses a step higher, in order to prevent invasion and facilitate resistance. It's also a very thoughtful and practical design. It is also the first time to know that Shaqima is actually one of the characteristics of Manchu food, sweet and crisp spread to the present, but few people know its history. The sundial, a time-keeping instrument combined with science and ingenuity of our ancestors, can also be seen in the Shenyang Imperial Palace.

Compared to the daily crowds in Beijing's Forbidden City, the Shenyang Forbidden City is noticeably quieter, but also more peaceful to stroll. Its grand architectural design, seemingly out of place with the slightly dilapidated exterior walls, is also evidence of the rolling traffic of history.

Zhang's Shuai Palace | a glimpse into the history of half of the people


The famous Zhang Xueliang is a big man who has been "familiar with" in history books since childhood. On December 12, 1912, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a "military remonstration" to Chiang Kai-shek in Xi 'an, which promoted the establishment of the anti-Japanese national united front. This is also known as the "Xi 'an Incident" and has gone down in history.

This trip to Shenyang, only to know their own ill-informed. Originally, Zhang Xueliang was born in Liaoning Province, and he also had a shallow relationship with the northeast in his life. In Shenyang, there is a grand marshal's office, which is the official residence and private home of Zhang Xueliang and his father Zhang Zuolin.

Many important moments in history have taken place here, such as the legendary coin toss decision to kill Yang Yuting, which took place in the Tiger Hall of the Shuai Palace. When his father was alive, Yang Yuting took credit for his pride, misjudgment, etc., resulting in Zhang Xueliang wanting to get rid of him, hesitancy, decided to toss a coin, and the result was to kill even six times.

The authenticity of the story remains to be verified, but it can also be seen that the young commander's mansion witnessed the growth of Zhang Xueliang and became an important witness in the course of history.

Built in the three years of the Republic of China, with a total area of 36,000 square meters, in today's eyes to look at, is also a real mansion. What's more, the buildings include different types such as Chinese tradition, Chinese and Western combination, Romanesque, Japanese, etc., and are also valuable in terms of architectural artistic achievements.

The big Qinglou, the small Qinglou, the Guandi Temple, the fourth Miss Zhao Building, etc., are all the buildings in the Zhang Shuai Mansion must visit, although the architectural style has its own characteristics, but it has maintained good lighting, ventilation and other functions, which shows the exquisite architecture.

One of my favorite buildings is the Zhao Sixiao Jie Building, which is separate from the Shuai Mansion.

Most of the people who know Zhang Xueliang have heard of his love with Miss Zhao four. Zhang Xueliang life has three marriages, his wife in Feng-to is his father Zhang Zuolin set, life together, and Zhao Yidi, known as Miss Zhao four, gave Zhang Xueliang half a life of warmth.

The fourth Miss Zhao building is where Zhao Yidi lived from 1928 to 1930.

Kanto Studios | Warm spring flowers, through the Hui people's country

The Imperial Palace of Shenyang in the Qing Dynasty, half of the history of the people's country, are the long history of Shenyang this city. And Shenyang also has a place with a certain era, although it is artificially built in the later period, it is still like a traveler, which is the Guanto Film and Television City.


This is for the shooting of the TV series "Kanto big Mr." built, and later became the location of the film and television works such as "Young Marshal" "The first knife under the sky", it is said that this year there is a big production determined to shoot here, may go to stroll can come across the crew.

"Mr. Guan Dong Da" tells the story of Zhao Chunan, a folk artist in the early years of the Republic of China, and the female boss, the Lord Baile, treasure hunting, treasure protection, and the Japanese invasion forces and warlord traitors. Therefore, in the film and television city, there are police stations, stations, newspapers, restaurants, a glance at the life of the entire period of the Republic of China.

The architecture of Film City is quite distinctive, 177 buildings are modeled after the style of Kanto region in the early 20th century, and the style of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China is strong. Walking around here, it really feels like time travel.

City Gate, Quanjude, Baihualin Restaurant, Baylor House, Mukden Police Station... It's all back to the way it was. It's full of history. Girls who like travel photography should not miss here, it is also a good place to take vintage portraits. Bright sun, bright clothes, vintage houses, cable cars with retro filters...

I love this wall. The advertising of the Republic of China is too interesting. The poster figures of vintage celebrities can also be automatically brought into that era.

Shenyang Forest Zoo | Spring blossom to see pandas
As a half history fan and a keen retro fan, I have seen Shenyang for a long time with a sense of age filter, but I have not forgotten to feel the natural atmosphere of the city in spring.


Entering April, as soon as the flowers open, the breath of spring will be rich. A must do in spring, of course, visit the park! What garden? The zoo!

The Forest Zoo in Shenyang, located in the Qipanshan International Tourism Development Zone, is famous for its cute giant pandas. As soon as they entered the garden, they ran to them, and sure enough, these simple little ones either slept soundly in the warm sunshine, blocking the sun's rays with their arms, or walked slowly and leisurely along the bamboo fence side to inspect their territory. See fat fat soft dumplings, like rua!


In addition to the outdoor part, the indoor part of the panda house is also well equipped. Spacious and bright activity venue for the little cute to live and play. There are specimens and posters in the museum, explaining the evolution of giant pandas and introducing the habits of giant pandas. It can also play a popular science role for the children who come to visit for the first time.

Not far from the panda house is Tiger Mountain, just encountered the staff feeding raw meat, the tigers jumped up to grab food with the roar, let people be shocked, worthy of the momentum of the king of the beast.

There are many rare animals in the zoo, such as Siberian tigers, zebras, sika deer and ostriches. The park is also very intimate, the park where each animal is designed to suit their habitat, such as Tiger Mountain, Bear Gap, Wolf Valley, Lion Ridge, Asian animal grassland, African animal grassland, waterfowl lake and so on.

Visit the zoo can take a tour bus, in the spring breeze blowing, some slightly cool, very comfortable. If you want to visit more freely, you can walk the whole way, but the park area is relatively large, you should be prepared for it. If the time is not rushed, it is also very happy as a leisurely spring outing.

Beiling Park | Huangtaiji's resting place, Shenyang people's amusement park
Presumably many people know that Shenyang used to be known as Shengjing, a name that sounds prosperous and lively, and this name is taken by Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. Here he proclaimed himself emperor, and here he was buried.

The mausoleums of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty and Empress Xiaoduanwen Bolzijite, Zhaoling Mausoleums, were built in the northern part of Shenyang City and later turned into a park, hence the name of Beiling Park.

The mausoleum building follows the principle of "front and back", and the theme building is built on the central axis, which is also modeled after the Ming Dynasty mausoleum and has the characteristics of the Manchu mausoleum.

Qing Zhaoling Mausoleum, Long En Gate, Long En Hall, ancient pine group, are worth a visit to Beiling Park, especially the more than 2,000 ancient pine trees, swaying tall and upright, very spectacular.

Today's Beiling Park, in addition to historical significance, is Shenyang people's favorite amusement place. After all, accompanied by the lake, the weeping willows, the spring flowers, the beautiful natural scenery is the most attractive.

As far back as the emperor's mausoleum, but now because of the natural scenery so that Shenyang residents, as a good place to enjoy a leisurely life, shed a lot of seriousness, become close to the people.

Early in the morning, uncles and aunts came together to play tai chi and square dance, so lively. I met an old man playing diabolo, full of ritual wearing a flannel coat, shaking diabolo with great vigor.

As a curious baby, of course you have to try it. Did not expect this diabolo look simple at first glance, their own hand to try, only to know the need for great strength and skills, a few times defeated. Shame shame.

Shenyang Bird island | overlooking the wetland, the spring day is full of life

About 40 minutes drive from downtown Shenyang, you will come to the Bird Island, which is the only natural ecological bird watching center in Shenyang. It is an island in the Hunhe river system, and the historical bird Island was named "Longtan Fishing" because of its shape just like a giant dragon lying in the river, and became one of the famous "eight scenic spots of Huishan".

The island scenery is beautiful, jungles, shrubs, wetlands give people different landscape feelings. Tall trees such as pine and Mongolian birch, shrubs such as honeysuckle and mountain plum, and aquatic creatures such as lotus and water chestnut coexist harmoniously here, forming the beautiful ecology of Bird Island.

In spring all things come to life and a hundred flowers bloom. Birds are also more energetic, white cranes, ducks, finches, geese, swans... Everything is full of life. Go to lover's Bridge walk, go to Swan Lake view, go to the Mandarin duck spring to see mandarin ducks in pairs, are a beautiful experience, the birds in spring like to be in pairs, this is a season of love, ah, it is true.

There are other things to do on Bird Island besides watching birds. Go to the tall tree sincerely pray, go to the carousel to find the girl's heart, go to the bumper car with a small partner to make a group. Or do nothing, slow down and enjoy this beautiful spring time, the wind is beautiful, the water is calm, the wind is calm, just right.

Changbai Island Park | free rua alpaca place ah

A variety of zoos to go to many, can be free of rare. On this trip to Shenyang, Changbai Island Park, the largest ecological island in north China, is also a free animal viewing place.

So along the way, I saw many children feeding vegetables and carrots to animals. In addition, the island has also set up some hiking trails and hydrophilic areas, so that visitors to Changbai Island have more leisure.

Flowers bloom on the river, and wild ducks splash in the water. "Spring river water warm duck prophet" poem, as expected, can best show the vitality of spring.
