Shenyang will hold the football matches for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad. With the strong monsoon impacts, Shenyang witnesses the four distinct seasons. The average temperature in summer reaches 24℃, 3℃ to 5℃ lower than in the southern part of China. Shenyang is not only the capital city of Liaoning Province, but the largest city of Northeast China with the largest railroad hub and airport across the region. As a famous historical and cultural city, Shenyang is the birthplace of Qing Dynasty and the location for the first two emperors' mausoleums -- Fuling Mausoleum and Zhaoling Mausoleum. Shenyang Imperial Palace is the second largest and well-preserved ancient palace complex, only next to Beijing Palace Museum. During the spare time after your appreciation of the Olympic Games, you may visit the historic sites of this city along the route of "one palace and two mausoleums". As the World Horticultural Exposition was successfully held in 2006, Shenyang is quickening its steps in converting itself into a garden city and a forest city.

沈阳是第29届奥运会足球比赛的分赛场，比赛将在沈阳五里河体育场举行。

　　沈阳气候受季风影响较大，四季分明，夏季平均温度24℃，比南方要凉快3-5℃。沈阳不仅是辽宁省的省会，也是东北地区最大的中心城市，有着最大的铁路枢纽和航空港。沈阳还是一座历史文化名城，清王朝在这里发祥，两代开国君主的陵寝——福陵和昭陵即建于此；沈阳故宫是除北京故宫外，中国现存第二大完整的宫殿建筑群。观看奥运比赛之余，可以“一宫两陵”为线，体会这座城市的历史底蕴。而2006年世界园艺博览会的举办，更加快了沈阳变成一座花园城市、森林城市的脚步。
