The entertainment in Shenyang is often compared to that of its sister city, Dalian, but in fact is similar to that in many Chinese cities. The city's KTVs and bars are most popular in winter when venues such as the Bee House and Hongjie Disco Club get busy. The West Tower Karaoke City is a popular venue for singing the night away, housed inside one of the four ancient city markers. The entire area around the tower is known as Korea Town as it is home to the restaurants, shops and homes of the Korean immigrant community. Fantasia Dinner Theater encompasses a variety of performance styles every night from Chinese acrobatics to French cabaret, and visitors can head to the Liaoning Grand Theatre for a similarly wide program of pop concerts and traditional Chinese Opera

Though the city does of course celebrate all the usual Chinese festivals, it has four unique celebrations spaced over the year, which visitors should experience if at all possible. In summer, between July 25 and August 10, the city celebrates the Shenyang West Lake Lotus Festival as the fields of these beautiful traditionally Chinese flowers come into bloom. In Autumn, the city celebrates its historical significance as the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, with the Shenyang International Qing Dynasty Cultural Festival, demonstrating Imperial customs & throwing temple fairs. The Shenyang International Folk Dance (Yangko) Festival also takes place in the same month, when the ancient dances and songs of the region are performed over five to seven days. In winter, the Shenyang International Ice and Snow Festival is a showcase for ice sculptures from large statues to smaller ice lanterns, which light up the parks at night.
