Host city of Olympic Game 2008 in China


Shenyang will hold the football matches for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad. With the strong monsoon impacts, Shenyang witnesses the four distinct seasons. The average temperature in summer reaches 24 degrees celsius, 3-5 degrees lower than in the southern part of China. Shenyang is not only the capital city of Liaoning Province, but the largest city of Northeast China with the largest railroad hub and airport across the region. As a famous historical and cultural city, Shenyang is the birthplace of Qing Dynasty and the location for the first two emperors' mausoleums -- Fuling Mausoleum and Zhaoling Mausoleum. Shenyang Imperial Palace is the second largest and well-preserved ancient palace complex, only next to Beijing Palace Museum. During the spare time after your appreciation of the Olympic Games, you may visit the historic sites of this city along the route of "one palace and two mausoleums". As the World Horticultural Exposition was successfully held in 2006, Shenyang is quickening its steps in converting itself into a garden city and a forest city.
