Taiyuan Street is the commercial shopping area in Shenyang, it has department stores and restaurants, also other shops around it. People like to go there shopping or have a friend gathering lunch or dinner together, especially young people.
I was stay in Shenyang for a week`s traveling, just been to Taiyuan Street once, but i like the atmosphere.

Thanks Yefei for sharing so many information on Yunan. They are very useful!

An underrated historic site that i particularly enjoy is the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. Usually there are no other visitors and you have this wonderful old building to yourself. It`s a very peaceful place from which to contemplate the nearby hutongs, the bustling modern city in the distance, and the contrast.

I think in China, many places have the Plum Blossom Festival, it is nice though, this season might be the best time of China. Should go travel around.

The reason we call it Ba Da Guan is in Qingdao, here have eight roads (now it have ten) which named as the "Guan (Like Channel.)" So this eight roads make this area like a big garden, trees are on the two sides of the street, flowers are everywhere, when you get into these roads you feel like you walk into a big garden. 

And the buildings here are have didfrent styles like construction of Russian, British, French, German, American, Japanese, Danish-style more than 20 countries.

If you come to Qingdao, Ba Da Guan is a place you have to visit.

The eight Guans are:

Shao Guan 韶关

Jiayu Guan 嘉峪关

Hangu Guan 涵谷关

Zhengyang Guan 正阳关

Linhuai Guan 临淮关

Ningwu Guan 宁武关

Zijing Guan 紫荆关

Juyong Guan 居庸关

If you are an alcoholic or a barholic, you shouldn`t miss Shiquan Street, on the sides of this street, have more than 30 bars, different kinds and different styles, normally it will get high around 10pm, but if you wanna have a seat on the weekend be there around 9:30pm, or you will stand up all night long. Have fun.

Nanputuo Temple is a major destination of Buddhists. Situated at the foot of the Five Old Men Peak (五老峰, Wu3 Lao3 Feng1), this peaceful temple is over 1,000 years old and is Xia`men oldest sight. Look for the character Fo (佛), which means Buddha in Chinese, carved into a rock-at 15 feet (4.6meters) it`s hard to miss.

The Orchid Pavillion has the Calligraphic Museum inside, which is a good place to check out Wang Xizhi`s flowing calligraphic style.

Tianya Haijiao is not that funny, but still worth to go, and especially for new couples, many people go to Sanya is just wanna have a romantic honeymoon and celebrate their marriage.

What a amazing theater!I want to go and see it myself!
