There really isn't much to see in Shenyang - being an industrial city, I find that the only redeeming place to visit is the Shenyang Imperial Palace, which was where the actual imperial palace and capital was in the Qing Dynasty until it moved to Beijing.
There are, however, several parks, and we visited one called 棋盘山, literally translating to "chessboard hill".
Within this park was another "park" that features several buildings that were apparently used as filming sites for dramas and movies.
And a large lake that is the center of the park itself.
Autumnal colors had completely set in by then, lining the roads with bursts of oranges, yellows, and reds with specks of green.
There was another hill that you could climb in the park, but we opted out due to the effort required, and there was only one handrail on one side that was covered with ladybirds.
On the way back to the city, we stopped by the Scitech Outlets. The area was experiencing a water shortage and none of the toilets could be flushed. And most of the prices of international brands seemed to be even more expensive than retail.
Dinner was, once again, at 新洪记.
