INTRODUCTION
Liaoning is located in the southern part of Northeast China, covering an area of approximately 148,600 square kilometers, with a permanent population of about 42.59 million (2023). As the only coastal province in Northeast China, Liaoning has a coastline of over 2,100 kilometers and is known as the cradle of New China's industry, earning the title 'Eldest Son of the Republic.' The Liao River Basin is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, where the Hongshan Culture (about 5,000 years ago) unearthed the jade dragon known as 'China's First Dragon.' Historically, Liaoning was the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, and the Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of only two surviving royal palaces in China. Industrial heritage, Manchu culture, coastal scenery, and Korean ethnic customs blend here, creating a unique regional charm. Dalian is the most romantic coastal city in Northeast China, Shenyang is an ancient capital where heavy industry and history coexist, and Dandong faces North Korea across the Yalu River. Liaoning has six World Heritage sites: Shenyang Imperial Palace, Yongling Tomb, Fuling Tomb, Zhaoling Tomb, Wunü Mountain City in Benxi, and the Great Wall at Jiumenkou in Suizhong. Liaoning is also an important old industrial base in China, home to well-known enterprises such as Ansteel and Dalian Shipyard.
I. Historical Sites and Manchu Culture Liaoning is the core area of Manchu culture. Shenyang Imperial Palace (about 2 km from city center, April-October 8:30-17:30, ticket 50 yuan) was the palace of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, blending Han, Manchu, and Mongolian architectural styles, with the Grand Administration Hall and Ten Kings Pavilion as iconic structures. Zhaoling Tomb (Beiling Park, ticket 6 yuan, Zhaoling separate ticket 50 yuan) is the mausoleum of Huang Taiji, and Fuling Tomb (Dongling Park, ticket 30 yuan) is the mausoleum of Nurhaci, both World Heritage sites. Wunü Mountain City in Benxi (about 70 km from Benxi city center, ticket 80 yuan) was the early capital of Goguryeo, with steep terrain overlooking Huanlong Lake.
II. Coastal Scenery and Dalian Dalian is the pearl of Liaoning tourism. Xinghai Square (free) is the largest city square in Asia, offering a distant view of Xinghai Bay Bridge. Laohutan Ocean Park (ticket 220 yuan, including Polar Region Museum, Coral Hall, etc.) is a top choice for family trips. Jinshitan National Tourist Resort (about 50 km from Dalian city center, core scenic area ticket 160 yuan) features a 300-million-year-old rocky coastline with geological wonders like Dinosaur Exploring the Sea and Cracked Stone. Lushun Military Port (about 45 km from Dalian city center, ticket 20 yuan) is a witness to modern history, and Baiyushan Tower (ticket 40 yuan) offers a panoramic view of Lushun.

V. Culinary Culture Liaoning cuisine belongs to the Northeast cuisine system but features more seafood.
