 Huaiyuan Gate Station is located at the core downtown area. The city’s most famous historical attractions gather here, among which the Mukden Palace and Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang (1901-2001), a famous patriotic general, are recommended. The corresponding metro exits:

 Exit C: Once you exit, you will see the Huaiyuan Gate Tower. From here, go straight along Shenyang Road. It takes about 10 minutes on foot to reach the Mukden Palace, where you can learn about the history of the founding of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and see ancient palace architecture.
 Exit A / B: After exiting, walk east along Shenyang Road for about 5-10 minutes to reach General Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence. Here you can visit the architectural complex with both Western and Eastern elements and learn about the history of Northeast China during the Republic of China era (1912-1949). There is also the Shenyang Finance Museum nearby that you can visit together.
 Exit C or A of Zhongjie Metro Station is next to the Zhongjie Pedestrian Street. It is the most prosperous commercial street in Shenyang and the first commercial pedestrian street in China, with a history of nearly 400 years and is known as "the First Street of Northeast China". It gathers century-old stores, trendy shopping malls, and many delicacies, such as the old brand Lao Bian Dumplings founded in 1829, and local snack like Fresh Chicken Frame. The street becomes more atmospheric and livelier when the lights are on at night.
 The area around this station is ideal for shopping enthusiasts. Walk out from Exit C and you can directly reach Taiyuan Street, one of the most prosperous business districts in Shenyang. Surroundings are large shopping malls like Wanda Plaza, Parkson Shopping Center, Shenyang Incity Plaza and ZTE Shenyang Commercial Building, offering almost all the products you like.
 Shenyang Railway Station is an important railway hub, from which you can go to major cities like Dalian, Beijing, and Harbin by high speed train directly.

From Exit A or B of the metro station, walk about 10-15 minutes, and you will arrive at:

 Zhongshan Road Historical and Cultural District, featuring a 1910s Baroque urban layout: On both sides are a large number of European-style buildings such as hotels and post offices. It is suitable for taking photos.
 Xita Street, originating from a royal monastery built in 1643: From the early 20th century, Korean Peninsula immigrants began to settle here, and Xita gradually became a Korean ethnic community. Now it is a street with Korean cuisine such as barbecue, cold noodles, and glutinous rice cake, as well as Korean atmosphere.
 From Exit A or Exit C, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to walk to the Industrial Museum of China. It is built in an old factory and showcases China's industrial history over the past century. The original equipment such as huge blast furnaces has been retained, and you may feel as if you have returned to the casting workshop of the past period.
 Exit A of the station leads directly to Shenyang Botanical Garden. It preserves over 2,200 types of plants, the largest collection of plant species in Northeast China, including rare century-old peonies and endangered plants such as the Northeast Redwood. If you happen to visit Shenyang during the months of March to August, this would be the best time to visit the botanical garden, and it is recommended to spend 3 to 4 hours there.
 Compared with other metro stations, this station has no particularly worth-visiting areas around it. But there are interesting exhibits inside the station, such as an exquisite imperial headdress of Peking Opera, and other display about the folk opera Pingju.
