a great way to get involved

Has anyone been to Shenyang? I could use some advice!

Hey every one, I am thinking about spending upcoming holidays in Shenyang, but since I never been there I was wondering if somebody could recommend me some good places to visit, some exiting things to do and last, but not least a cheap and decent hotel, for less than 150 a night.Can anyone help me ?!?

P.S

I would also help me if any of you feel like sharing your travel experiences with me.

Thanks in advanced.

- Fernando

Hi fernando, I can say that Shenyang is a lovely city and that the temples and parks there are definately worth a look.

I ask myself what you actually want to know. Train is the best choice of transport. The fastest train can take just over 2 hours and if you are planning on staying more than a day, I know a great little hotel totally modelled around the Tang dynasty. Its a good quality 3 star hotel for around 250rmb a night and central to everything in Shenyang. If you need help in booking anything, I suggest you contact my colleague (simon) on this website. He has a group called cheap tickets. He could possibly find you the best deals!

Thanks you both, Richards, for you kind comments. I am leaving to Shenyang this 31sth and I was hoping to stay there for about two or four days. I have -obviously- never been there and I was wondering if some one could recommend some good places to visit -besides the most obvious places- and more importantly some good places to eat!

Thanks, I have already contacted Simon! By the way, where is this Tang dynasty hotel? I have to admit that 250 is a little over my budget, but I would not mind sleeping there for at least one night. do they have an webpage?
