Shenyang Walking Diary | Who understands the joy of touching history in the morning and lying down to watch the skyline in the evening!

If you come to Shenyang and don't experience both its "historical depth" and "modern relaxation," it's like you haven't truly visited! This time, I spent the morning immersed in history at Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence, and in the evening, I retreated to the Hunnun Houseritz Hotel to embrace the city's night view. This two-day itinerary maximized both types of enjoyment – feel free to copy this guide directly!

First, let's visit Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence! The red walls and gray tiles of the courtyard hide details full of stories. The wooden staircase in the Small Green Building and the European chandeliers in the Grand Green Building make every step feel like stepping back into the Republic of China era. Be sure to follow a guide to hear about the "Young Marshal's" legendary past. Those yellowed letters and old photos instantly bring the words from history textbooks to life. If you get tired, stop by the cultural and creative shop in the courtyard. Refrigerator magnets and notebooks printed with "Northeast style" make meaningful souvenirs, and taking photos to post online can make it seem like you're on a Republic of China film set.

In the evening, head straight to the Hunnun Houseritz Hotel, which instantly elevates the comfort of your trip to the max! The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in the room are absolutely stunning, capturing the shimmering Hun River and the distant high-rise night view. In the evening, watch the sunset paint the sky orange and pink – every photo you take will have an amazing ambiance. After a tiring day, take a hot bath, order some late-night snacks from the hotel, and snuggle up in the soft bed scrolling on your phone – you won't want to go out at all! Plus, the hotel is super close to the subway station, making it convenient to go shopping and eating in Zhongjie and Taiyuan Street. Lazy travelers, go for it!

One day traversing history, one day relaxing in the clouds – this kind of Shenyang itinerary is truly satisfying! Next time you visit, don't agonize over where to go; just follow this guide, and you'll experience both the city's heritage and comfortable relaxation.
