I was planning on heading to the US consulate in the morning when I checked the time it would take the previous day it said 25 minutes, so I planned 45 minutes for my commute. However at 8:00am the the 25 minute drive turned into a 45 minute drive and DiDi cars were so busy they would not pick up for 15 minuets. The staff were very helpful and tried to get a cab and when that didn't work they gave us directions on how to use the subway and walked us to the entrance. I'm not sure if the location is convenient for other attractions in Shenyang but it is close to line 9 and 2 of the subway.
