Things To Do
in Fushun

Morning wet markets offer fresh produce, dumpling vendors and small stalls selling buns, steamed pancakes and savory pancakes—perfect for sampling affordable local flavors.

Evening markets feature grilled skewers, fried snacks, pancakes and soups; try small portions of several items to sample a range.

A simple greeting or nod is appreciated. Use polite phrases and show respect to elders. Formal handshakes are fine in business settings.

Meals are often shared—try several dishes and accept offers politely. It's common to leave a little food on your plate rather than finishing everything as a sign you’re satisfied.

Always ask permission before photographing people, especially in private or sensitive settings. Be respectful when shooting religious sites.

Avoid political discussions about sensitive national issues; keep conversations friendly and local if unsure.

Tipping is not widely expected in Fushun; service charges are uncommon in small restaurants. In higher-end hotels or tourist-oriented services some staff may accept small tips, but it isn't required.

Mobile payments (Alipay and WeChat Pay) are ubiquitous across China and widely accepted in Fushun. Cash (RMB) is still useful for small stalls and markets. International credit cards work at major hotels and some restaurants but are less common at smaller shops—carry a mix of mobile payment options and cash.

Cool to mild temperatures with budding trees and occasional wind; pollen can be present. Bring layers and a light jacket; some rainy days possible.

Warm to hot and humid, with July and August the wettest months. Lightweight clothing is recommended; carry an umbrella and be prepared for mosquitoes near water.

Often the most pleasant time to visit: crisp air, lower humidity and colorful foliage. Days are comfortable while nights can be cool—bring a light coat.

Cold and dry with temperatures often below freezing; snow and icy sidewalks are common. Dress warmly with thermal layers, a heavy coat, sturdy shoes and gloves.

The main international airport serving the Liaoning region, located near Shenyang (about 1–1.5 hours by car or train from Fushun). Offers domestic and some international flights; ground transport options include shuttle buses, taxis and ride-hailing services.

Located further away on the Liaodong Peninsula (Dalian), useful for travelers combining visits to coastal Liaoning destinations. Transfer to Fushun requires a longer train or road journey.

Pure vegetarian options exist but can be limited—ask for dishes with tofu, mushrooms, vegetables and noodle soups without meat broth. Use the phrase “wǒ chīsù” (我吃素) to indicate vegetarian. Confirm broths and sauces may contain meat stock or fish sauce.

Meal options are more limited; explicitly request no meat, eggs or dairy. Simple vegetable stir-fries, cold dishes and some noodle preparations can be adapted, but double-check broths and seasonings.

Wheat is common in northeastern cuisine (dumplings, noodles, pancakes). Rice-based dishes are less common—explain your restriction and ask for rice or vegetable-based options where possible.

Halal restaurants are not widespread; look for Muslim-run eateries or northern-Chinese Muslim restaurants (if present) for lamb-based and halal-certified dishes, or rely on simple vegetable and fish options.
