❤️ Shenyang Laobei Market, opened in 1921, has a unique Manchu, Mongolian, Xibe, Tibetan, Han and other multi-folk, multi-ethnic culture and prosperous merchants and goods, and is well-known in China. It was once known as one of the "Top Ten Markets in China" along with Beijing Tianqiao, Tianjin Quanyechang, Nanjing Confucius Temple, and Shanghai Chenghuang Temple. 💜 The upgraded and renovated Laobei Market has added a variety of facilities and food, while retaining some historical sites and cultural displays. The lanterns on the square are varied and magnificent, joyful and peaceful. 🧡 The only regret is that due to time constraints, you can only visit during the day. It is truly magnificent when the lanterns are on at night. In addition to watching the lights at night, there are performances. "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens" is the most attractive. The blue and gold phoenixes travel between ancient buildings and modern skyscrapers. The "Luanfeng and Ming" scene has become a signature program of Laobei Market.

Laobeishi is located in the heart of Shenyang. It is home to the ancient Huang Temple and Xibo Family Temple (Taiping Temple), as well as the Republic of China-style commercial street Wenfengyuan and the Ming and Qing-style antique street Wenshengyuan. The local area has launched intangible cultural heritage projects such as traditional Liaoning cuisine cooking skills, Fengtian chess, Beishi wrestling, and Huang Temple Temple Fair. The development of diverse cultures in Laobeishi presents a picture of the life of Shenyang's indigenous people and is a cultural landmark created by the local area, "Laobeishi's Most/Drunk Shenyang".

​Huang Temple is a royal temple from the early Qing Dynasty, located in the old north market of Shenyang, and is free to visit.
