Things to do in Zhangwu

I brought my two Border Collies. Before coming, I hesitated about whether to take the long way, but after the visit, I felt it was totally worth it. The staff and other visitors were very friendly. I've already recommended it to others on Xiaohongshu!

As the National Day holiday drew to a close, I stepped through the vermilion gates of the Shenyang Imperial Palace. The red walls and yellow tiles shone brightly in the autumn sunlight. Unlike the grandeur of the Forbidden City in Beijing, this place exuded a rich Northeast Manchu flavor. Upon entering the eastern section, the Dazheng Hall immediately caught my eye. This octagonal, double-eaved pavilion-style building resembled a giant tent. Two majestic dragon-carved pillars stood solemnly at the main entrance. The eight corners symbolized the Eight Banners, signifying "unity of the eight directions," forming a spacious tent-like courtyard with the ten princely pavilions arranged in a V-shape on either side. Standing there, one could almost see the grand scene of Nurhaci discussing politics with the leaders of the Eight Banners. Continuing along the central axis, the Chongzheng Hall, golden and gleaming, stood in the center, commonly known as the "Golden Throne Hall." Its roof was covered with yellow glazed tiles with green trim, and the beams were shaped like three-dimensional dragons leaping forward. The interior was entirely open, without a ceiling. It was here in 1636 that Huang Taiji declared the change of the dynasty's name to the Qing Dynasty. Inside the hall, the gilded cloud and dragon screen and the openwork golden dragon throne are arranged according to the layout during Emperor Qianlong's eastern tour, giving visitors a sense of traveling through time. Ascending the Phoenix Tower, once the tallest building in Shengjing (Mukden), one sees a plaque inscribed with Emperor Qianlong's calligraphy, "Purple Qi Comes from the East," hanging high above. From the railing, the entire Forbidden City unfolds before one's eyes. During the National Day holiday, the Forbidden City was bustling with activity. The museum not only opened half an hour earlier and closed half an hour later but also offered nighttime tours. Folk music performances on the platform in front of the Dazheng Hall and tourists in ancient costumes strolling among the red walls gave this 400-year-old building a unique vitality during the holiday.

I'd heard so much about the Shenyang Imperial Palace, and finally got to see it! The layout and signage were very clear, and many of the artifacts were extremely valuable, making it well worth a visit. However, because some areas are quite small, guided tours can be very noisy without Bluetooth headsets, which can negatively impact the overall experience.

There were so many people and tourists that I didn't have time to take in many things. It's like a low-end version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many of the artifacts on display were discarded from the Forbidden City. Some rooms were off-limits, so people crowded around the entrances to take photos. There was no lighting inside, so the photos didn't look great. The architecture is still quite distinctive.

Daqinggou is located in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province. It's a famous tourist attraction in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province. Many tourists visit Daqinggou every day. It's truly beautiful. I'd love to come back again.

It's a bit far from downtown Changchun, about an hour's drive away. The automatic parking system at the entrance was a first for me, and it was free! There were even volunteers to show you how to use it – so thoughtful! The place is incredibly large; walking is impossible. A bus ride around it takes over 40 minutes. The most beautiful area is near the dam, not far from the entrance!

Overall, it's pretty good. Once you get there, you can rent a car. I didn't know how to drive at first, but with my years of driving experience, I learned quickly. This saves energy. You can download an app, locate yourself, and check out the attractions and waiting times. Boys might like the Dinosaur Extinction attraction, as well as some thrilling rides. Some attractions require separate fees, such as the Ice and Snow World and the Petting Zoo!

I have to give a thumbs up to my hometown. It should be best to go there in September, which is neither too cold nor too hot. I once dreamed of traveling around the world with a sword, visiting different places, and appreciating different scenery and culture. [Scenery] The environment is very good, the service is also very thoughtful, and there will be professional guidance🐂🍺 [Scenery]

I regretfully missed the snow cake monkey show during the day, but a quiet stroll through the park still had its own charm. I wandered around leisurely, getting up close to the animals and encountering several rare creatures. The autumn breeze in Northeast China was so refreshing; it instantly relieved all work stress, a brief moment of healing.

The scenic area was fantastic! I explored two different routes. The shuttle bus service was excellent and very convenient; it's free after you buy your ticket. The tour guides were also very responsible, reminding me of weather changes and recommended tour times. Thumbs up! I would definitely recommend the shuttle bus service to other friends.
