彩色生活空间于 沈阳

Shenyang is a trade, industry and commercial center in northern China and the capital of Liaoning prince. Coworking and coliving are on the up in this hub for aerospace, heavy machinery, defense, and software sectors.

After work, there are many parks along the Hunhe River that are popular with joggers, but there are many other activities to try here such as kayaking or renting a jet ski! Another place for digital nomads to relax in is the Botanical Garden, which boasts over 1,700 different plants and hosts a popular lily exhibition.

The local dongbei cuisine is well known across China. It is generally quite salty and eaten as a tapas-style shared meal. Dishes include spicy meat and vegetable shashlik sticks, smoked chicken and laobian dumplings.

Here are some fun facts about Shenyang:

- Over 8 million people live in Shenyang, making it northern China’s biggest city.
- BMW, Michelin, Mitsubishi, Toyota and many other automotive companies are based here. By the end of 2019, BMW alone had produced a total of 3 million cars in Shenyang.
