What they say

I have been in Shenyang for three months. It has developed so fast that it's beyond my imagination. The brilliant facilities have made me feel comfortable living in Shenyang. The main highlight of this trip was the journey to explore seaside culture, it had significant meaning and I hope it can continue in the future.

We arrived in Shenyang in August. During this journey, I have seen the real Liaoning, which is different from what I have seen on television.

I have been in China for eight years. I intended to see the development of these places during the tour. As I have started a pharmaceutical company, I would like to seek potential opportunities. People living there must be very happy and content. I haven't heard of Panjin before, but I was impressed by the development there.

I have been in China for nine years. Now, I have a Chinese wife and a family and have adapted to life in Shenyang. The communities of Shenyang and Dalian are well-established with wonderful atmospheres and various activities.

I live in Beijing but I was very impressed by the hospitality of the people in Shenyang. I think my personality is very similar to that of the people in Northeast China. I felt like I was coming back home. As the mother river of Shenyang, the Hunhe River is very beautiful.

I am a student in Shenyang. I came here last year for a month and now I am back here again to study. I like Shenyang very much. I am studying translation as my major. In the future, I will be a translator between the two countries to promote the relations between the two sides.

I have been studying Chinese medicine at Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine for seven years. Now I am a postgraduate majoring in acupuncture and massage. I have deep feelings for Shenyang and I love living here. I began to love the city by meeting and getting to know its people. Chinese and Russians share similar personalities.

I came to China three years ago. Now I live in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. I am a student majoring in traditional Chinese Medicine. This is my first time in Shenyang. I went to Xita to try the special food, which was really delicious. Also, the local people were very nice and hospitable to me. I really liked being with them.
