[Shenyang Railway Station, Shenyang] A historical building itself and it was classified as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the Provincial Level (辽宁省文物保护单位) by the Liaoning government. The Shenyang Railway station was completed in 1910, barely two years before the collapse of the Qing dynasty. After the Mukden Incident (满洲事变 or 九一八事变) that ignited a war between China and Japan in 1931, the Japanese occupied all of Northeast China including Shenyang, they were able to exploit resources in Manchuria using extensive network of railways. In more recent era, the 20th century saw Shenyang develop as a major industrial center, but today the city is rapidly losing its older structures with large scale construction throughout the city, like many major cities in China. I have also included a picture of how the Shenyang Railway Station had looked like during the Qing dynasty, you can take look and see how much it has changed! 😊 📍Shenyang, China. 中国沈阳市。🇨🇳 . . . #china #beijing #shenyang #instachina #railway #travelthroughthelenses #nonmainstream #ancientchina #travelgram #igchina #history #love #learnsomethingnew #seetheworld #bitesize #chinesearchitecture #chinaexplorer #discoverchina #igdaily #oldplaces #chinese #createexplore #instagram #citygrammers #instatravel #sihantravels #notatourist #中国 #北京 #沈阳

满洲里有只大象席地而坐

对建筑一窍不通，却喜欢看建筑物。 记得小时候资讯不发达的年代，看过Saint Basil's Cathedral的照片，特别喜欢这样的建筑风格，长大后才知道这是莫斯科最美丽的东正教堂。 喜欢其鲜艳的色彩、浑圆饱满的穹顶，犹如童话世界城堡般存在的建筑。 然而，前往俄罗斯的梦想还未实现，那么来满洲里体验一下充满俄罗斯风情的建筑也不赖呀！😄
