What first comes to your mind when we speak of Dongbei? A snowy world of ice and bluster? The white and soft rime hung on the tree? These are things people in Dongbei are familiar with. But for Amy Lyons, who lives in Sydney, a place with an abundance of beaches and sunshine, this snowy and icy world is totally new. From this Dongbei diary, let’s experience the winter life in China’s northeastern cities.
Having travelled from tropical Bali island to China’s “Dongbei”, the northeastern part of China, Amy has experienced a 50-degree temperature change. Amy’s first stop was Shenyang, a city with over 2000 years of history. Follow Amy’s steps around this city, then you will gain an initial impression of the architecture, the streets, the food as well as the people and feel the pulse of this ancient city.
