Shenyang celebrates city's 'distinctly German flavor'

Qi Xin likes to buy salty German rolls when he passes a bakery run by a German near his home in Shenyang, the capital of Northeast China's Liaoning province.

It reminds him of the time he spent in the European country, he said.

"There are many international cities in China, like Beijing and Shanghai. However, there are few with a distinctly German flavor like Shenyang," he said.
