Most visitors base themselves in three areas: Shenhe for the historic sights, Heping for shopping and Korean food, and the North Railway Station zone for transport links. Rooms are cheaper than in Beijing or Shanghai; a solid mid-range hotel runs 350 to 600 CNY a night, while international five-star properties sit at 700 to 1,200 CNY. This where to stay in Shenyang guide recommends three hotels per area across luxury, mid-range, and budget tiers. See our Shenyang weather by month for more. See our Shenyang neighborhoods for more.
