Liaoning is a province in northeast China on the Bohai and Yellow Seas, bordering North Korea along the Yalu River. It combines Shenyang's Qing-dynasty imperial heritage, Dalian's beaches and European-style squares, Dandong's view across the border, and a long Great Wall coastline at Hushan and Xingcheng. Liaoning is also the heartland of Dongbei cuisine: dumplings, barbecue, stews, and fresh Yellow Sea seafood.

Rates in Dandong and Huludao rise on Chinese public holidays such as the 1 October week and May Day
Hot-spring hotels in Benxi and Anshan are busiest in winter; check hot-spring access hours before booking
Prices are approximate, converted at 1 USD = 6.70 CNY, and vary by date
