depends on wht you want to do. i like going to teahouses, and Wenxiang Teahous on Tiyu Xi Lu is set in a garden environment. You can enjoy many differnet types of teas that are brought and served to you in excellent wares and you can see rotating art exhibits there too. this place and the expereince of it seem very chinese cultural to me

There are all types of cultural things to do. You could ride a rickshaw, get on one of those fancy boats that you can rent and ride around the lake, visit some performances like chinese acrobatics, opera etc., if they have that going on there at that time. Learn a dance outside with those groups that practice their traditional dance. They can probably be found in front of shopping malls or in neighborhoods. 

Visit one of their buddhist temples if there are any there. And if your not buddhist you can at least observe the culture and how they worship the buddha here.

A: Yeah, I'm on the Chinese side, too. ... maybe just because you can see
A:Yeah, I'm on the Chinese side, too. ... maybe just because you can see titles against China so often.It was amazing (LOL) to see how Chinese respect traffic rules and all ... seeing it live from around 2010 on ... Now, cops hand regulating the traffic in the main crossings, that is something else ... Picture this: "All females, 165 - 175 cm tall, skinny, dressed in all leather, black outfit. ... Dalian, 2010, outside temp. -25*C ... short-hair w/ beret, wind&all proof leather jacket&trousers, military style black boots", two at the time ... like at doubles in tennis ... except colder...LOL..When I inquire about 'all movie-star seating in traffic crossings', Chinese told me, that it is a gov. job and only the best shape counts ...
I was only walking around China, but in Liaoning, I was imagining I would be driving ..., i.e. who to watch: traffic or woman ...I would say, they must have a tonne of skirmishes and accidents, but they don't ... everything is c&d with woman dressed in black leather in the middle.I'm telling you, Chinese are different ...O.K., one more: plowing the snow, cleaning up the roads at snow fall ... Chinese carry the snow away ... it's not like at us, when they push the snow to the banks 'nd voila ... Chinese plow snow with the digger and brazzilion trucks, waiting for the snow load in a beautiful line, queue line, that's it. Truck approaches the digger, gets load of snow and drove it away to some predestine place. Many different actors, but in China it is very organized.... digger, and some 50 trucks approaching the digger for some 2' stop ... conveyer belt thingy. It's a beautiful site to see it at large, ... from distance. -- icnif77
