Shenyang

Shenyang, is the capital of Liaoning Province and a megacity at sub-provincial level, as well as a National Central City and a core city in Northeast China.

The city leaves an impression on people of having a tough spirit having overcome a turbulent past. Cocooned by layers of reinforced concrete, every column in the Mukden Palace seems to be whispering royal secrets; each tile and brick in Marshal Zhang's Mansion has a hidden story of the Republic of China within it; the ‘9.18’ Historical Museum keeps reminding us of the pain and humiliation... Shengjing (former name of Shenyang) still lives on in the city’s memories today. Moreover, the bustling neon lights on Central Street, the tallest skyscraper in Northeast China, and the boisterous Liu Laogen Grand Stage add modernity to this historical city.
