Sihailongwan Maar Lake

With a unique geological base and outstanding ecological value, the attraction leverages the scarce geological resource of the Maar Lake crater. Through smart observation towers and volcanic ash display boards, the scenic area visually showcases geological features such as the pore structure of the volcanic rocks and the circular crater. Furthermore, a unique vegetation awareness garden and wildlife observation points are built around volcanic-specific plants (such as volcanic poplar and Korean pine) and rare animals (such as the Chinese merganser and the roe deer), forming a dual value system of "geological science popularization + ecological protection," combining scientific research and education with natural appreciation. The attraction offers diverse experiences and a strong sense of immersion. The scenic area comprehensively plans four experience zones: natural ecology, online celebrity check-in spots, cultural immersion, and wellness and leisure. Each zone's business formats complement each other and are organically linked. The natural ecology zone enhances a sense of closeness to nature with seasonal scenery (Lotus Guanlan Pond) and childlike interactions (Cute Pet Park, Wildman Tribe). The online celebrity check-in zone caters to visitors' social sharing needs through scenario-based designs such as the "Sky Realm" crystal boat and ancient travel photography. The cultural immersion zone conveys regional culture through "Forest Adventure" wild man interactions and "Er's Traces" cultural and creative products ("Er Bao Ya" derivatives and geological-themed commemorative coins). The wellness and leisure zone offers slow-paced leisure options through formats such as fireside tea brewing, yoga retreats, leisurely fishing, and ancient tree meditation. These zones fully meet the needs of different guest groups and create an immersive experience that is "visible, playful, enjoyable, and memorable." Operational details are standardized, prioritizing ecological protection. The attraction emphasizes a balance between ecological protection and operational safety in its business design. For example, Liuli Fishing has environmentally friendly fish feeding stations, while Xianyun Fishing Area requires the use of barbless hooks and plant-based bait and advocates catch-and-release. Furthermore, through standardized operational management such as 24-hour vending machines, the scenic area ensures a convenient visitors experience while minimizing the impact on the original ecological environment of Maar Lake, achieving a coordinated advancement of ecological protection and cultural tourism development.

Shenyang Imperial Palace

The Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of the two fully preserved palace complexes in China. It served as the imperial palace of the Later Jin before the dynasty entered the pass, and after the Qing dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, it was converted into the Shengjing Temporary Palace (also known as the Fengtian Temporary Palace). The palace houses a large collection of court artifacts left over from the former imperial palace, and precious treasures of the Qing court's old collection can be viewed in the various exhibition halls. The entire palace complex is divided into three routes based on architectural layout and construction sequence: the east route features the Dazheng Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion built during Nurhaci's reign; the central route comprises the inner palace complex expanded during Emperor Taizong of Qing's reign, including the Daqing Gate, Chongzheng Hall, Fenghuang Tower, as well as the Qingning Palace, Guansui Palace, Yanqing Palace, and Yongfu Palace; the west route includes the Wensu Pavilion and other structures added during the Qianlong period. The Daqing Gate is the main gate of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, commonly known as the Wu Gate. It is a five-bay flush gable roof building, with the roof fully covered in glazed tiles and trimmed with green edges. The wall decorations feature protruding sea water and cloud dragon patterns along with various auspicious beasts, exquisitely crafted. The Chongzheng Hall, commonly known as the "Golden Throne Hall," is where Hong Taiji handled daily government affairs and received envoys. Inside the hall are displayed cultural relics such as a gold-lacquered cloud dragon screen, an openwork golden dragon throne, and gilt bronze luduan incense burners. Above the throne hangs a plaque inscribed with "Zhengda Guangming," written personally by Emperor Qianlong, modeled after the plaque written by Emperor Shunzhi in the Palace of Heavenly Purity in Beijing. The Dazheng Hall, commonly known as the "Octagonal Hall," was also called the "Great Hall" or "Dugong Hall" before the Qing entered the pass. It is an important palace built by Nurhaci and the main building on the east route. Before the Qing entered the pass, important ceremonies such as the emperor's enthronement, New Year's Day congratulations, and the Wanshou Festival banquets were held here. In ordinary times, it was used to convene meetings of the Deliberative Council of Princes and Ministers or to promulgate important edicts. Inside the hall are displayed cultural relics such as a golden dragon throne, a gold-lacquered screen, and cloisonné elephant-backed vases, as well as calligraphy left by Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang during their eastern tours to Shengjing. The Phoenix Tower is located north of the Chongzheng Hall, standing atop the elevated terrace of the inner court. The three-story tower features a hip-and-gable roof with surrounding corridors, covered in yellow glazed tiles with green trim along the edges. "Phoenix Tower at Dawn" and "Viewing the Pagoda from Phoenix Tower" are counted among the Eight Scenes of Shengjing. The tower houses a plaque inscribed with "Purple Mist from the East" in the imperial handwriting of Emperor Qianlong. The Wensu Pavilion was built during the Qianlong era specifically to store the "Complete Library of the Four Treasuries" and serves as the main structure of the western route; the "Complete Collection of Illustrations and Writings from Ancient and Modern Times" was also stored within the pavilion. Its architectural paintings do not use the dragon-and-phoenix motifs commonly found in palaces; instead, they feature themes harmonious with the function of a library, such as "white horse presenting books," with a fresh and elegant color palette that forms a striking contrast with the red-and-gold-dominated exterior decorations of other palaces. This was also the place where Emperor Qianlong read during his eastern inspection tours.
