Shenyang - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
There are some good bars and restaurants that expats go to, there's a hash group for running, there are gyms with social groups, and there are a lot of good weekend trips you can take. It's not a typical international city, but there are a lot of interesting places popping up. I like going to the "coffee district" that has a lot of coffee shops and cafes. People hang out in the malls a lot during the winter months. - Jun 2024
Drinking beer and eating chuar (meat on a stick). - Mar 2019
There are some local amateur sport clubs (baseball and football). Because of security reporting requirements, I tend not to socialize with local people. - Jul 2016
Dinner parties at home, KTV, going out to hot pot, korean bbq, etc. Consulate book club. - Aug 2014
Go out with friends for dinner. Dinner parties, lots of holiday events. There is Bird Island, big outlet malls, plenty of indoor play areas for little kids, skiing/tubing in the winter, a couple of large parks with rides, some museums, a zoo, an aquarium, a tiger park, etc- Chinese style. - Nov 2013
