Site Research & Selection
Shenyang boasts the remains of a 7,200 year old neolithic village which is a tourist draw. As the largest city in northeastern China and the 11th largest in the country overall, it is a more stable growth city. The eastern part of the city leads to mountain foothills while the wester portion is a flat plain running into the Liao River. With a humid continental climate, it is similar to many other major coastal cities in China with the exception that it is influenced by the Siberian anicyclone weather in winter. Shenyang is primarily a heavy industrial center, which is how it began its growth initially in the early 20th century, but is also a large agricultural center and high-tech producer. More recently, auto and software manufacturing has prevailed. Shenyang is known for being a multi-ethnic center, with various minority groups and expatriates. Demand for high-end real estate in Shenyang has remained relatively stable in the past year, while demand for rental properties has increased.
