No need to go abroad, Shenyang is already next level.

I thought taking my child to explore "Inception" would mean me holding her hand as we walked, but it turned out she was the one pulling me forward the whole time. Those crisscrossing staircases, flipped spaces, and flickering lights weren’t art installations in her eyes—they were a "magic castle" perfect for hide-and-seek. She would squat under a slanted wall for me to take a photo of her "twisting the world"; then stand by the floating steps pretending to "walk into the sky," her laughter louder than the background music in the venue. When she finally pulled out her phone to look through the photos, eight out of ten showed her making fierce faces, and the other two were shots she directed me to take of "pretty corners." A child’s happiness truly shines in the shadows of running and jumping.
In the evening, I dragged my tired little one to Haoze Hotel in Sujiatun. As soon as we opened the door, she pounced on the 2.4-meter big bed—lying flat with arms and legs spread like a little starfish, shouting, "Mom, look, I’m lying on a cloud!" Reaching out to touch it, I realized the magic: the latex mattress was soft but didn’t sag, pressing down slowly bounced back, and even the pillows had the same bouncy texture. No wonder she rolled around and refused to get up. What surprised me most was the dry-wet separated bathroom. After washing her and packing, the countertop stayed dry and clean, no need to wipe water stains for ages like usual. This thoughtful detail quietly eased the little hassles of traveling with kids.
Before bed, she wrapped herself in a small blanket and nestled in the middle of the big bed, half-asleep saying, "The stairs turned today, and the bed is super big. Can we go to the ‘magic house’ again tomorrow?" It turns out the happiness of traveling with kids is simple: chasing fantasy and laughter by day, and falling asleep peacefully on a soft bed by night, with dreams as sweet as can be.
