   - Inexpensive, reliable, fast, & efficient train service
   Public Transportation Systems
   
   
   We arrived by train. The trains we saw at the station seemed relatively new, and the station looked good. We found the service to be friendly, reliable (leaving and arriving exactly on schedule), efficient and fast. It can be a challenge to buy tickets if you can’t speak Chinese. See more..

   - Amazingly beautiful ancient walled city
   Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Architectural Buildings

5. 3.5 West Fort Site (11 reviews)
   - Windy
   Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Ancient Ruins
   
   
   In truth I was here in April, at the beginning of spring. It was warm but very windy. Place a little boring. Entertained only wooden sculpture of the defenders. I do not think that the fortress was defended by such giants. It is also extremely funny angry faces of Japanese invaders in the panorama of the museum. Though in that way portrayed all enemies in all the museums of the world :)) See more..
   
6. 3.5 Haizhou Opencast (8 reviews)
   - Huge open cut mine
   Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Mines
   
   
   This is the grand canyon of China, except man-made. It's a huge open cut mine. Not exactly picturesque, but really interesting - something different! See more..
   
7. 3.5 Hai Tangshan Scenic Area (6 reviews)
   - Mongolian Foothills to wander in
   Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Mountains
   
   
   Tibetan style temple and Mongolian stone markers. Reasonable amount of rough and stepped paths with excellent view points. This hilly area is being developed into a bigger temple-dominated complex. Currently, some paths are under construction and blocked, and its easy to get lost - but never for long. Probably better for a family walk than any serious exercise at the moment. Oxen and donkeys are still being used in farming around this area, so if you are driving, the small roads are rewarding to explore as well. See more..
   
8. 3.5 Jinzhou Museum (5 reviews)
   - Less than spectacular
   Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Speciality Museums
   
   
   Museum grounds are quite nice but the museum itself is very dark and exhibits are quite sparse. Except for the age of the items, it’s quite boring. Saving grace is the bell performance which is quite nice and well done. Not a must see for sure. I could easily have skipped it. See more..

10. 3.5 Qingquan Temple of Dalian (4 reviews)
    - Beautiful temple with six palaces
    Tuesday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Religious Sites
    
    
    Qingquan Temple is located in Weiba mountain range village of Xintai, of Pulandian, and 70 kilometres north of Dalian. The beautiful, ornate buildings are very well kept, and show very little physical wear. Considering its somewhat remote location, it must have been a spiritual place used by more people of a more ancient time. My before visiting research found little information on the temple, other than it was one of the best two temples to visit in the greater Dalian area. The temple has three pavilions, six palaces, and houses a semblance of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The Weiba Mountain City was established about 1,900 years ago during the Eastern Han Dynasty. I was not able to determine the approximate age of the temple, but to looks much less old than the village and its ancient relics. See more..
    
11. 3.5 Zhangdao Island (4 reviews)
    - Does not have ferries during the day.
    Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Islands
    
    
    I got there before noon after a nearly 70 RMB taxi from Donggangbei train station and was told the ferry doesn't go to the island until 6:00 p.m. The train station, the ferry, it's all out in the middle of nowhere! See more..

    - Ancient City
    Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites
    
    
    Times must have been hard back in the day, but not for those who lived at the Ancient City. Revolved a lot around prayer and concubine care, it would seem. See more..
    
13. 3.5 Hongluo Mountain (3 reviews)
    - Good hike up mountain. The women who come to pray for fertility too are interesting, but the hike is a good challenge.

    Without the constant overwhelming smog of Beijing surrounding one at all levels the day would have been better, but the price for a tour made by a native made it a nice day. See more..
    
14. 3.5 Guanyin Cave Scenic Area (3 reviews)
    - Scenic and Picturesque
    Tuesday: 5:00 AM - 5:30 PM Caverns & Caves
    
    
    Need to walk about 1500 m route through the long krast cave. One way in through to outlet and be prepared foe a long walk. Many picturesque land forms of stalatite and stalemite as we walked through the long and narrow cave. These stalatites and stalamite stand up beautifully with the colourful lighting. Crowded with several tour groups and just have to patiently follow the pace in the narrow path. Wet and could be slippery. Going out of the cave needs climbing a long and steep stair cases.

    - Nothing to see
    Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Religious Sites
    
    
    we took a boat to get there because the tide was hide. We walked 10 min and we got the peak. Just a few of new temples and expensive shops with nothing original. Really, not worth it. See more..

20. 3.5 Anbo Ski Area (2 reviews)
    - Quick break from the city - All good
    Tuesday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Ski & Snowboard Areas
    
    
    Three groups of families travelled to the Anbo ski area for an overnight trip. Car parking seemed large enough, staff service was efficient and warm. Food available at the ski area was surprisingly better than we expected - local cuisine but just right for the coldest season of the year. Staff behind the rental gear hire counter were great. Great smiles and advice as visitors descended on them full of vigour and hype. One of our members had a private instructor and her teacher was great acknowledging her and her mother even well after her lesson. Staff behind the private lessons counter were helpful too letting me charge my phone at their desk as the wall sockets weren't working. for skiing and snowball fights if you're into them ...snow was hard not powdery making it interesting and hilarious for us beginners on skiis. If you're after powdery snow shop around. The hotel we stayed at Sunny Hot Spring Hotel was a convenient distance from the ski area and had a ski and hotel package. The rooms were a little dark (could've been the weather and the smog too), but enough for a bed and breakfast deal. Beds were ok, Staff were friendly. We were locked out of our rooms a couple of times because of a faulty room card and the. Staff tried to respond quickly each time. Breakfast was a full on Chinese style breakfast - quite interesting for our overseas visitors...the local eateries proved a surprise with goose on the menu and lots of vegetables which were cooked well. Also on Saturdays there is a mile long market selling all sorts of things from food (donkey, beef, pork, sheep,etc) to traditional medicines and local clothing. For photos of the local lifestyle its a good drop in. See more..
    
21. 3.5 Benxi Geological Park (2 reviews)
    - Interesting for some
    Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Parks • Geologic Formations
    
    
    I believe that its full name is the Benxi Geological Museum. If you are interested in geology and fossils then it is a great place. If you are not interested then after about 20 minutes you will probably become bored. It is located in the Benxi National Park. See more..

25. 3.5 Liaoyang Tokyo Mausoleum (2 reviews)
    - Dongjin Mausoleum - Not open without special arrangement.
    Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Historic Sites
    
    
    Tokyo is a wrong translation. It should be Dongjing, which means eastern capital. To look round have to contact the Cultural Bureau and arrange for someone to come to unlock. Unless you can speak Chinese that is probably impossible. If you can speak Chinese it’s difficult because most people in the nearby office are not inclined to make effort to arrange it. (The local party official tried.) It looks interesting from the outside, but we did not manage to get in as the Cultural Bureau would not come at short notice. See more..

28. 3.5 Lvshun Birds Park (2 reviews)
    - Cool under the trees
    Tuesday: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas
    
    
    We went to visit the Bird Park and were quite impressed by the layout and the proximity of the birds. The waterfall has many water and ground birds and you can feed these after buying a bag of food for a few rmb. This made photo oppoertunites very good for my husband as he could get up close while I fed various ducks, peilcan, egrets and peacocks. The waterfall makes for a steady climb and is pleasently cool under the many trees. The bird show of 3 times a day is entertaining and viewed by many. It is included in the park fee. The souvenir shop is a bit pricy but entrance to the Birds Park was only 40yuan. The small restuarnant next to the entrance is worth a visit. See more..

    营口镜湖公园，就是一普通的公园，没啥趣味性，里面也没啥景观，都是树，啥都看不出来，有个不大不小的湖，边上有很多钓鱼的，总体印象不好，没啥意思，和大城市的公园比起来差远了。公园是免费的，对于当地老百姓来说，吃完饭没事去溜达溜达还是不错的。 See more..

    - Small trader shops for women's clothing, shoes and accessories
    Speciality & Gift Shops
    4 level market. Ground floor is jewelry, hair accessories, hats, gloves, bags, suitcases, nail salons, make up, phone cases, etc. First floor is children's wear, shoes, PJ's and underwear. Second and third floors have more underwear, more boutique-style clothing, some dressmakers, and dance wear. Friendly vibe and some small price negotiation is acceptable, but generally, prices are what locals are prepared to pay. See more..

    - Getting there is most of the attraction
    Tuesday: 5:00 AM - 5:30 PM Bodies of Water
    
    
    Not easy to find - the route off G1 with the huge signs is currently blocked off. Seems like the road hasn't caught up with the highway signage. We got there via HeiShan City, North on G102 then east on 211 (look for small brown signs), through JiangTun and look for small brown sign on the left (north) and look out for the rock with the red characters. The drive through farmland after the corn harvest was full of interesting sights. Donkey carts, ox carts, corn processing compounds, barrels of corn cobs and mountains of stripped corn cobs and leaves. The park itself was a peaceful place with lotus pond (no flowers in October) and a series of reservoirs for fishing and boating.Off season it was very quiet with no ticket office visible and no shop or restaurant open. From the rough paths around the fishing dams, we could see the corn harvesters with their ox carts. A number of fisherman with their cars parked nearby. Could probably bring fishing gear and someone might come by and sell you a fishing ticket. And suitable for kids to ride bikes around after a longish car trip. See more..
    
36. 3.0 Suzi River Rafting (1 review)
    - River rafting smelly
    Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing
    
    
    We went there to experience river rafting, when we pass the road it was awesome jungle. We were biking going there about 2hours,a little bit harder when we almost reach area for registration. Safety was implemented before doing the rafting, it was great experience because the water was 26' c and it was in the middle of the jungle, but when the last rafting section and we passed the houses and it was terrible smells, i vomited, i smells the poo of the people from there bathrooms, anyway they don't care so much about lavatory cleanliness which is number one for me. If I can choose I rather stop in station 5, because it smells good but we'll I cannot choose though because it is in the middle of the jungle. Try it but cover your nose. Tips. Do not but the ticket to thier office very expensive, but the River rafting ticket in the agencies there it is cheaper. Bus ticket also for long distance travel. See more..

39. 3.0 Liaobin Ancient City (1 review)
    - Old-looking pagoda with neighboring temple
    Historic Sites
    
    
    Were driving around the Shenyang countryside when we decided to check this out after finding it marked as Liaobin Ancient City on TripAdvisor. Turned out to be a fairly old-looking (which is the exception in China) pagoda standing in the middle of nowhere. "Next door" is an active temple inhabited by at least a couple dozen monks - judging by the clothing drying in the sun. The monks were all in the prayer hall chanting away and the shrines were closed up. The temple looked newly renovated and very cheerful. Nice place if you happen to be in the area, though not exactly worth the drive from town. See more..

43. 3.0 Shuangtai Estuary Nature Reserve (1 review)
    - Currently a nature reserve in title only
    Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas
    Development of tourism this side of the Estuary is scant. Roads are pretty rough and not well marked. The map markers for the National Nature Reserve may refer to possible gated areas. The area furtherest south is a breakwater amid the marshes but the number of trucks using the narrow dirt road make it impossible to park or walk or bike, and the amount of trash at the marsh edge takes some of the pleasure out of watching for sea birds.

    If you enjoy stuff from the neolitic era, go for it, but if not, I don't think it's worth a visit. There is no museum next to it, nor anything else interesting, so it's not worth going if you aren't a big fan of such things. I went there just because my partner comes from this area...
