Qianshan (Qian Mountains) National Park

Choose C for travel, and this time the journey has brought us to Anshan, Liaoning. Anshan is known as the 'Steel City' and also the 'Jade City', with a long history and beautiful scenery. The first stop is Mengtai Park in Anshan. Mengtai Park, located in the center of Lishan District, Anshan City, Liaoning Province, is the only park in the country named after a model worker. It is the largest park in Lishan District of Anshan City, integrating leisure, entertainment, and sightseeing, and is also a base for patriotic education in Anshan. The second stop is the Steel Art Museum with its unique architectural style of red bricks and steel, which fits the powerful feel of Anshan. The architecture of the 80s and the indoor spiral staircase are especially photogenic. The third stop is the Little White House, opposite the Anshan Museum, a white European-style palace that is particularly photogenic from any angle. The fourth stop is the Anshan Museum, which records the historical development of Anshan and traditional folk crafts, especially the embroidery and folk exhibitions that are not to be missed. The fifth stop is Victory Square, the central landmark square of Anshan City, leading to various attractions. There are many pigeons in the square, surrounded by commercial buildings, with history and modern architecture intertwined. The sixth stop is Martyrs' Mountain Park, the highest point in the city park, where the stairs are not high but offer a panoramic view of the entire Anshan building complex, which is particularly spectacular.
