Dear Jaiganesh, There is no direct train or flight from Yangzhou to Shenyang, I suggest you could take a train to Nanjing( about 1.5-2 hours), then take a flight to Shenyang( about 2 hours). You could check the timeschedule on our website. Flight: http://www.chinahighlights.com/china-flights/ Train: http://www.chinahighlights.com/china-trains/ Lussie Lu Replied on 2013-04-22
