Northern China Attractions

Welcome to Northern China
Top 5 Attractions

NO.1
Beiling Park (Beiling Gongyuan)
A pleasant oasis in the north of the city and the largest park in Shenyang. Rent boats and go out on the lake in summer or ice skate or go sledding in the winter. The wooded areas are a great place to escape the summer heat.

NO.2
Shenyang Benxi Water Cave National Park
About 45 minutes southeast of Shenyang, this vast cave has been developed into an impressive tourist attraction. Take a boat through the illuminated caverns with a guide and marvel at rock formations that are millions of years old. It can get chilly in the cave so dress warm.

NO.3
Confucius Temple (Kong Miao)
Dedicated to the life of China's great scholar and philosopher, this is Tianjin's oldest attraction. Dating from at least the early 15th century, a lovely goldfish pond leads you into an area of impressively ornate pagodas.

NO.4
Five Loves Wholesale Market (Wu Ai Shichang)
This huge market, open from the early hours of the morning, mostly trades in clothes but there is a lot more for sale among the thousands of stalls. Very much a local market, it’s interesting to observe the vigorous bargaining techniques.

NO.5
Food Street (Shi Pin Jie)
A three storey block housing more than one hundred restaurants, most offering food from all over China. Make sure to try the local specialty, shao mai, at least once and sample some of the more exotic delicacies available here.
