Things to do in Dengta

Liaoning Provincial Museum, the first museum established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, is a national first-class museum with a collection of nearly 120,000 items. It is a highly representative historical and cultural landmark of Shenyang. Detailed address: No. 157, Zhihui Third Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. No reservation is required; simply present your ID card for direct entry. It is a 150-meter walk from Exit D of the Provincial Museum Station on Metro Line 2. Vehicles can enter and park through the South Gate, while visitors enter and exit through the West Gate.

It's definitely worth a visit to see what the Marshal's Mansion used to look like; it was quite luxurious. However, the experience is less enjoyable if it's crowded, as the interior is basically just a rushed, shoulder-to-shoulder tour.

The weather wasn't too cold after arriving in Shenyang. I stayed near Zhongjie, which is very close to Gugong, Shenyang's most famous attraction. I decided to check it out. It felt quite small, not very big, and the environment was alright. Overall, it was okay.

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.

Liaoning's science and technology museum is considered quite impressive. Located near the new municipal government building, it not only features various scientific exhibits but also showcases local specialties, such as aircraft carriers and fighter jets. Besides experiencing scientific experiments, visitors can also sit inside some models.

The child loves trains and is a train enthusiast. He comes here to see all sorts of locomotives and learn about trains. When using the navigation, please pay attention to avoid turning a corner and ending up directly on the railway track.

Zhongjie Street is quite long with many side streets, lined with shops and restaurants, and bustling with pedestrians. It seems well worth a visit and is a landmark pedestrian street in Shenyang. It's convenient to get anywhere from Zhongjie Street, but during my few days in Shenyang, I only spent a relatively short time shopping there. I mainly explored other areas outside of Zhongjie Street. It was a bit of a regret that I treated Zhongjie Street primarily as a transportation hub. Next time I visit Shenyang, I'll definitely explore it more. If I hadn't been in a rush, I could have spent more time there. I mainly visited the Forbidden City, Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence, and the Dadong Food Market on Zhongjie Street.

As a BMW owner, driven by my love for BMW, I paid my own way to visit the Tiexi factory in Shenyang. The guide was smart and professional, but she kept threatening us BMW owners who had paid for the tour with excuses like "this can't be taken" and "that can't be taken," which could lead to the cancellation of our tour. Honestly, there's nothing particularly advanced about the production line that's kept secret. After-sales service is handled by the 4S dealerships now; complaints are useless, and it's all about negotiating with the dealerships. It's a typical factory managed by Chinese.

The scenic area isn't very large, but it has a rather delicate feel. The boat tour takes about 15 minutes. There are many photo spots, making it suitable for those who like to take pictures. I watched about four performances, including interactive ones and fire-breathing shows.

Last year around this time, I also visited Liu Laogen in Shenyang. I doubt many people would spend 688 yuan to see it two years in a row like me. Last year, I laughed so hard I almost fell over; it left a very deep impression. Even though I've seen it several times over the years, especially since Li Baoguo was just starting out back then, and Errenzhuan was much more colorful. This time, however, I was a little disappointed. The show was basically the same as last year's, the jokes and punchlines were the same, even the selling points and costumes were identical. I laughed, but the same feeling of being doubled over was gone. Being an actor isn't easy, and constantly coming up with something new is even harder. But since they've chosen this path, there's no way around it; actors need to be observant and innovative. I wonder if I'll be pleasantly surprised next time I see it.
