[2025 Shenyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Wanliutang Park (Updated May)

🌿 Shenyang Wanliutang Park | Spring Travel Photography Guide to a Green and Poetic Land 🌸 Must-Visit Hotel During the Dragon Boat Festival - Shenyang Center Hotel (Shenyang Middle Street Palace Museum Joy City Branch) Must-Visit Attraction in Shenyang - Shenyang Wanliutang Park 📍 Destination: Wanliutang Park Spring in Shenyang is the season when the willow catkins of Wanliutang gently sway and the crabapple blossoms are in full bloom. This park, one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Shengjing" in the Qing Dynasty, was once known for "escaping the summer heat in the willow pond," but now it has become a top destination for spring Citywalks due to its lush greenery and blooming flowers. Stroll along the tree-lined waterfront, pass through the secluded paths with weeping willows forming curtains, and you can easily capture poetic masterpieces like those from a green fairy tale. 📸 Limited-Time Spring Photography Tips 1️⃣ Overlooking the Spiral Staircase The first photo spot is hidden on the top floor of the park's spiral staircase! The photographer shoots from the 3rd floor, using a magnified lens to capture the interweaving of the green spiral staircase and crabapple flowers. From a bird's-eye view, it feels like falling into Monet's garden [citation: user provided]. 2️⃣ Crabapple Foreground + Staircase Composition The staircase corner on the 2nd floor is an excellent framing spot! Use the pink and white crabapples as the foreground and the extending green staircase as the background. Let the person naturally lean or walk, and the fresh spring feeling will overflow the screen [citation: user provided]. 3️⃣ Tree-Lined Waterfront Reflection The water surface of Wanliutang is like a mirror, reflecting the weeping willows and blue sky. Choose a deserted bank, shoot from a low angle, and let the skirt dance with the willow branches to get an oil painting texture in minutes. 4️⃣ Forest-Style Secret of the Mulberry Forest Deep in the park lies a mulberry forest. The new leaves are tender green in spring, and the scattered mulberries on the ground add a wild touch to the picture. It is recommended to wear a light-colored long dress and shoot against the light to create a mottled forest atmosphere. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: Shenyang Center Hotel If you want to deeply experience the blend of ancient and modern Shengjing, you may want to stay at Shenyang Center Hotel (Palace Museum Middle Street Subway Station Branch).

🏠: Wanliutang Park 📍: Wanliutang, Xiannongtan Road, Wanlian Subdistrict, Shenhe District 🚇: 15-minute walk from Quanyuan Station (Line 10, Exit A) I rode my bike all the way to Wanliutang Park, enjoying the breeze. Spring is a great time to stroll in a park like this. The air is fresh, and the sky is blue. This popular little tower is perfect for taking photos. Standing on top of it feels amazing. The sunlight makes the river sparkle. It's truly beautiful. This park is especially suitable for taking children to get close to nature. I recommend riding a bike in the park. It's very large and perfect for cycling. Immersing yourself in nature is the best way to relax.

With a history of over 70 years, Wanliutang Park is named after the many willow trees in the park. It was first known as a summer resort and is the only park in the city with an artificial rockery. The park is mainly blue and green, and the circular spiral staircase viewing platform has become a popular check-in spot. The water area has been expanded, the river is cleaner, and many citizens come here to fish. You can often see citizens relaxing and exercising, climbing mountains, or doing morning exercises by the river. In late autumn, the scenery is even more beautiful, with ginkgo leaves covering the golden avenue.
