Just got back from Fushun, and I'm gonna spill some hard truths

🌿 Fushun June Rampage Guide: Manchurian Homeland's Industrial Punk & Scenic Thrills 🌿

Fushun, Liaoning's eastside "mixology master"! On one hand stands Hetu Ala Ancient City, birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, while the other boasts the hardcore industrial vibes of West Open-Pit Mine, with Honghe Valley's raging waterfalls sandwiched in between. June brings cool mountain breezes and streets perfumed with the sweet-sour-spicy aroma of mala ban—perfect for playing history buff by day and night market foodie after dark!

🚶♀️【2-Day Mischief Itinerary】

Day1: Qing Dynasty Time Travel + Canyon Splash Package
🌞 Morning
Hetu Ala City (≈¥60, 8:00-17:00)
Charge into Nurhaci's "startup headquarters"—touch the 400-year-old Han King Well, and strike a pose on the Dragon Throne at Han Palace Yamen for instant "Daqi'er" social media fame! Manchu dance performances start at 10:30 sharp—the shaman's water-god bells will give you goosebumps!

🍜 Noon
Old City Lamb Spine Hotpot
Channel Manchu ancestors by gnawing bones with gusto! The fall-off-the-bone meat demands you slurp every bit of marrow through a straw. Side dishes like pickled cabbage with vermicelli are outright divine.

🌊 Afternoon
Honghe Valley Rafting (≈¥150, 12:30-15:00)
12.8km of nonstop screams! Local uncles' water gun skills rival the Eight Banners cavalry—keep phones in waterproof cases. The "Buddha's Palm" cliff mid-route looks giant-slapped. You'll be drenched but deliriously happy!

🌙 Evening
Xinhua Pedestrian Street
Follow the hypnotic charcoal aroma to skewer stalls! Must-try: "Fat Wang's Fried Skewers" chicken frames and crispy sweet-spicy potato chips. Bargain hard for coal-amber trinkets at roadside stalls!

Day2: Industrial Punk + Forest Oxygen Feast
🏭 Morning
West Open-Pit Mine Viewpoint (Free)
Stand at Asia's largest mining pit edge—this "earth's scar" reveals conveyor belts crawling like steel centipedes. Pure industrial aesthetic shock!

🌲 Noon
Sankuaishi National Forest Park (≈¥50)
Breathe air bursting with negative ions! Hunt for the "Three Sacred Stones" along streams, stomp under waterfall sprays, and swing on wild kiwi vines. Summit warriors get rewarded with U-shaped valley views!

🍢 Evening
Donghua Street Night Market
Mala ban steals the show! Customize with potato slices, fish balls, and wide noodles tossed at lightning speed with that magical sweet-spicy sauce. Pair with ice-cold "Big White Pear" soda—Northeast nightlife perfected!

🌟【Must-Punch List】
Lei Feng Memorial (Free, 9:00-16:00): See the 22-year-old hero's leather jacket and motorcycle—off-the-charts youthful passion!
Crescent Island Eco-Park (Free): Night light shows turn Hun River into shattered starlight ✨
Reggae Land Water Park (≈¥180): Vertical slides simulate "building-jump entries," while hot springs prune your fingers like pickled plums.

🏨【Sleep Recs】
Fushun Friendship Hotel: Downtown retro charm, rooms spacious enough for square dancing, 5-min walk to night markets.
Kuangzigou Forest Cabins: Wake to rainbow bridges outside your window—fall asleep to babbling brooks like a woodland sprite!

🚌【Transport Hacks】
Bus #1/#2 connects Lei Feng Memorial & West Mine. To Honghe Valley, carpool (≈¥50/person)
⚠️ Bloody Warning: Never wear light pants rafting! Muddy disembarkations = instant ombre jeans 😭

🍜【Food Nukes】
Mala ban: Sauce-cloaked potatoes create mouthfireworks 🎆
Lamb spine hotpot: Marrow like liquid butter—suck every last bit!
Perilla leaf mochi: Sticky-sweet bean paste wrapped in fragrant leaves
Dahuofang Reservoir fish feast: Fathead fish tofu soup so fresh it'll lift your scalp!
Grilled cold noodle-rolled stinky tofu: Night market dark cuisine—disgustingly addictive 🤤

💰【2-Day Budget】
Day1: Lamb 60 + Rafting 150 + Skewers 30 = ¥240
Day2: Park 50 + Mala ban 20 + Fish 80 = ¥150
400 yuan buys millennia of cultural feasting—prices so kind you'll wanna bulk-buy mala sauce!

💡【Pro Tips】
Come for: June rafting > AC, Manchu paper-cutting DIY (just ¥10!)
Skip if: You hate hiking—Sankuaishi's stairs are brutal, but summit views heal all.

In Fushun, you'll touch Nurhaci's throne by morning, get slapped by canyon waves by afternoon, and gnaw chicken frames at night markets—nowhere else delivers this magical realism! Like & save this guide—next time let's eat mala ban while watching sunset over mining pits! 🔥
