Shenyang's Stunning October Northeast Autumn Travel Guide to Avoid the Crowds

— October is the best season to visit Northeast China✨
The weather is absolutely perfect!! The morning air is cool and fresh with morning dew, the autumn sunshine☀️ is bright and gentle, paired with Shenyang’s iconic blue sky and white clouds, every snap is a masterpiece📸 Summer days start too early (3 AM already bright!), and winter is so cold it makes your nose run, so October is just right~

🔥Key point‼️
Be sure to avoid the National Day peak period!! This year during the October 1st holiday, Shenyang Imperial Palace was so crowded it made me question life... I recommend visiting after October 8th or at the end of the month to avoid the rush.
👉Here’s a three-and-a-half-day walking itinerary in Shenyang to share with you~

🌟Must-visit spots:
✔️ Shenyang Imperial Palace (171 Zhongjie Road, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM)
A smaller version of the Ming and Qing palaces, with red walls and golden tiles perfect for photos!
✔️ September 18th Memorial Hall (46 Wanghua South Street, 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM)
A patriotic education base, remember to keep a respectful silence
✔️ Liaoning Provincial Museum (Zhihui 3rd Street, Hunnan District, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
A huge exhibition hall, recommend reserving half a day
✔️ Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang (Shaoshuai Mansion Lane, Chaoyang Street, Shenhe District)
Tells the story of the Young Marshal and Zhang Xueliang
✔️ Zhongjie Pedestrian Street
Northeast China’s first commercial street, perfect for shopping and food

🍜Must-eat list:
1️⃣ Xita Korean Street
Xita Cold Noodles (31 Shifu Avenue), about 50 RMB per person
Personally tested, cold noodles are legendary! But be sure to go early, queues can be over an hour at mealtimes
2️⃣ Spicy Mixed Noodles
Recommend "Xiaobo Spicy Mixed Noodles," a sweet, sour, and spicy specialty from Fushun
3️⃣ Grilled Chicken Rack
Look for "Lao Siji" (chain), 5 RMB each, super fragrant
⚠️Warning: If two girls are dining together, definitely don’t order the iron pot stew!! It’s enough for four people, we ended up tearfully packing leftovers...

Finally, wishing everyone can experience Shenyang’s most beautiful October🌤
