In early June 2019, during a self-driving trip to the Liaodong Peninsula, I passed by a small city in Benxi Manchu Autonomous County. The picture shows the long-distance passenger station in the small city.
Xiaoshi is located in the middle of Benxi Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, and is the capital of Benxi Manchu Autonomous County. The picture shows the houses near the Xiaoshi long-distance passenger station.
I have been to the small city many times. There are famous tourist attractions in the town, such as Benxi Water Cave, Tianlong Cave (the source of Benxi Water Cave), Guanyinge Reservoir, Hot Spring Temple, Tianyu City, Jingxiu Temple, etc. The picture shows a view of Guanyin Mountain.
The small town is 38 kilometers away from Shenben Expressway and 101 kilometers away from Shenyang, the provincial capital. The Xitian Railway, Huaben, Xiaocao, Xiaoqing, and Xiaoxiaoxian highways criss-cross the whole area, and the land transportation is very convenient. The picture shows a tree-lined road in a small town.
The small city has a population of about 60,000, mainly Manchu and Han. The picture shows elementary school students going to school early in the morning in a small city.
We stayed at the Hongyi Business Hotel on Yingbin Road, Xiaoshi.
The rooms in Hongyi Business Hotel are quite spacious
Hongyi Business Hotel bathroom facilities are also OK
The opposite of Hongyi Business Hotel is the Yingbin Square in Xiaoshi. After putting down my luggage, I went to the Yingbin Square to take pictures. Because this is a Manchu Autonomous County, there are many people dancing in Manchu costumes on the square.

Good vegetation and beautiful ecological environment create a colorful seasonal landscape in Benxi County. In the golden autumn season, the mountains are red and the forests are all dyed. It is known as the "Hometown of Maple Leaf".
On the welcome square, there is a huge maple leaf sculpture.
I have been to many scenic spots for viewing maple leaves in Benxi County, such as the Chinese Maple Leaf Road, Guanmen Mountain, Laobiangou, Dashi Lake, Dabinggou, and Huli. The picture shows the maple leaf sculpture on the Yingbin Square.
Near the Yingbin Square, there is also a citizen fitness park.
