The major thoroughfare of '''Youths Avenue''' ({{lang-zh|c=青年大街|hp=Qīngnián Dà Jiē|labels=no}}), the city's primary north–south [[arterial road]] that traverses past the '''City Government Square''' ({{lang-zh|s=市府广场|p=Shìfǔ Guǎngchǎng|labels=no}}) at the modern center of the city linking [[Beiling Park]] to the [[Taoxian Airport]], separates the southern portion of Shenhe District from the neighbouring southern Heping District. The iconic {{convert|305.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} [[Liaoning Broadcast and TV Tower]] is situated alongside this avenue.

Northwest of Zhongshan Square lies the [[Xita (Shenyang)|West Pagoda]] Korean Neighborhood or [[Koreatown]].

====Dadong District====
The '''Dadong District''' ({{lang-zh|s=大东区|l=great east district|labels=no}}) is an industrial zone and used to be the largest of the inner city districts. Its name derives from the fact that the district started off as the residential area immediately outside the old inner city wall's Fujin Gate ({{lang-zh|t=撫近門|labels=no}}), which is also called Great East Gate ({{lang-zh|t=大東門|labels=no}}). It has an area of {{convert|100|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}}<ref name="sysinet.gov.cn"/> and a population of 689,576 (2014).<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

The '''Huanggu District''' ({{lang-zh|s=皇姑区|l=royal aunt district|labels=no}}) is named after [[Huanggutun Railway Station|Huanggutun]] ("tun" means village), where the [[Huanggutun Incident]] took place. The name is actually a mis-transliteration of the pronunciation for ''Fiyanggū'' ({{Lang-mnc|m={{ManchuSibeUnicode|lang=mnc|ᡶᡳᠶᠠᠩᡤᡡ}}}}, {{lang-zh|t=費揚武|links=no}}, 1605–1643), the Manchu [[Prince Zheng|Prince Jian of the First Rank]] whose tomb was in the area.

This mixed-use district also contains large blocks of residential complexes, so as well as strips of small to medium-sized shopping districts. It previously had only an area of {{convert|39|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}}<ref>{{cite web |script-title=zh:《沈阳统计年鉴(2004)》——土地面积 |url=http://www.sysinet.gov.cn/web/tjnianjian/2004sy/01zh/zh.htm |publisher=Shenyang People's Government |access-date=2016-09-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009213634/http://www.sysinet.gov.cn/web/tjnianjian/2004sy/01zh/zh.htm |archive-date=2016-10-09}}</ref> and a population of 764,419.<ref>{{cite web |script-title=zh:《沈阳统计年鉴(2004)》——分地区人口数 |url=http://www.sysinet.gov.cn/web/tjnianjian/2004sy/13rk/13rk.htm |publisher=Shenyang People's Government |access-date=2016-09-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009213515/http://www.sysinet.gov.cn/web/tjnianjian/2004sy/13rk/13rk.htm |archive-date=2016-10-09}}</ref> In May 2002, the Shenyang city government annexed a large area of suburban land from the neighbouring Yuhong District to establish a new state-level development zone—the Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone ({{lang|zh-hans|沈阳经济技术开发区}}), and transferred its administration to Tiexi District to form the '''Tiexi New District''' ({{lang|zh-hans|铁西新区}}), thus giving Tiexi District the current "necked" shape on the map. The new Tiexi District now has a population of 907,091 (2014),<ref name="ReferenceA"/> a total area of {{convert|286|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}},<ref name="sysinet.gov.cn"/> and enjoys the same administrative rank as a municipality (Administrative Committee of Shenyang).

The district is featured in a 9-hour epic documentary film ''[[Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks|West of the Tracks]]'' by a young filmmaker Wang Bing. It shows the transition in this [[rust belt]] district—a [[palimpsest]] of not only Chinese but also world history. The first factories of this place were built in 1934 by the Japanese to produce war goods for the Imperial Army and nationalized after World War II. As late as the early 1980s, the factories here employed about one million workers, but all of them went jobless in the 1990s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/jc50.2008/WestofTracks/index.html |title="West of the Tracks" by Jie Li |publisher=Ejumpcut.org |date=1999-02-22 |access-date=2011-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614011549/http://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/jc50.2008/WestofTracks/index.html |archive-date=2011-06-14 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Hunnan District hosts the city's only operational commercial airport, the [[Taoxian International Airport]], and is rapidly becoming high-end residential areas with luxury apartments, fine neighbourhoods and commercial developments,{{citation needed|date=September 2024}} as Hunnan becomes the new center of Shenyang steadily with the new government being developed there.{{citation needed|date=September 2024}} The district is traversed by two corridors along two major highways, one leading to the Eastern Mausoleum and the neighbouring city of [[Fushun]], and the other leading to the airport.

Launched in 1988 as the Shenyang National New and High-Tech Industrial Development Zone and elevated to a national-level zone in 1991{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}, the Hunnan New Area ({{lang|zh-hans|浑南新区}}) focuses on electronic and information technology products such as software, computers, network systems, communication equipment and audio/visual equipment; advanced manufacturing technologies, especially for automobiles, medical equipment; advanced materials and biological and pharmaceutical products.{{citation needed|date=September 2024}} Foreign companies such as the [[General Electric Co.]], [[Tyco International]], and [[Mitsubishi Group]] operate in the zone.{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}

====Sujiatun District====
The '''Sujiatun District''' ({{lang-zh|s=苏家屯区|l=[[Su (surname)|Su]] family village district|labels=no}}) forms the southernmost part of the suburbs, located {{convert|15|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} away from central Shenyang. The 2014 registered population of Sujiatun is 428,859.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> and it has an area of {{convert|782|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="sysinet.gov.cn"/> Sujiatun is known mostly for its agricultural and industrial activity.

====Shenbei New District====
The '''Shenbei New District''' ({{lang-zh|s=沈北新区|l=Shenyang's north new district|labels=no}}), formerly '''Xinchengzi District''' ({{lang-zh|s=新城子区|l=new town district|labels=no}}), is a new development zone and forms the majority of the northern suburbs.

This annexation of land left an [[exclave]] territory lying between Tiexi District, Heping District and Sujiatun District, separated from the main body of Yuhong District, hence making the Tiexi District flanked at the "neck" by the two parts of Yuhong.
