Shenyang: A Cost-effective Travel Destination

Hey guys, today I want to talk about the most cost-effective provincial capital in China - Shenyang! Here, you can choose from 40 dishes for just 10 yuan, and stay for two nights for just 80 yuan. Prices are super low. Beautiful scenery and historical sites are everywhere, and it's even more laid-back than Chengdu. The city is full of life. As the capital of Liaoning Province, Shenyang was known as "Fengtian" and "Shengjing" in ancient times. It is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty and has a unique bathing culture. It is also known as the city of ice cream. When you think of Shenyang, you think of the strong northeastern accent, relaxing bath time, crispy chicken racks, and hot iron pot stewed goose... Stay here for three days, and you'll be sure to catch the northeastern accent. The people here are warm and straightforward, and they can make you laugh without even trying, making you forget all your worries. If you have the chance, you must come to Shenyang and experience its unique charm.
