Just spent a chill weekend exp

Just spent a chill weekend exploring Anshan 🚂🌄— if you’re craving top-tier nature mixed with ancient vibes, this city should be on your list. Highlights? The Mudang Mountains and their stunning Tao Temple, tucked away from the usual tourist crowds!

Must-See Places Guide:
1. Mudang Mountains (Location: Just outside central Anshan, best reached by taxi/private car)
Get up early and hike the main trail—lush forest, cool breezes, and panoramic views. It’s a peaceful escape from city buzz.

2. Tao Temple in Mudang Mountains (Hours: 8:00–17:00, Address: Mudang Mountain Scenic Area, Anshan)
Not just a photogenic spot—the Tao Temple here is actually active, so you’ll see locals making incense offerings. Pro tip: Visit before 10am for a quieter, more spiritual experience (crowds arrive late morning).


Getting Around:
Use a Didi to get there and in the National Park there are public free buses that drive you around.

Food:
Back in town, hit up Hongyun Restaurant on Tiexi Road for authentic Anshan-style dumplings. Also grab a fruit tea from a local stand—perfect after a sweaty hike.

Local Wisdom:
No visa needed for most Western travelers for visits under 30 days. Cash is king for attractions. Spring and fall have the best mountain weather; summer is humid, winter gets snow.
