General presentation
Shenyang
Former Manchu capital, which became a major industrial metropolis, with Qing Palace, Mausoleum and early 20th century neighborhoods.
Mukden Palace, Zhang Zuolin's former residence and Zhaoling Mausoleum give the most eloquent landmarks of Shenyang. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.
