Special forces, must be special forces!!! The beauty of Dalian is endless, you can't finish seeing or taking pictures even with 60,000 steps a day! It's really a treasure city worth visiting multiple times! Let me share some photo spots I checked in Dalian! Photo 1 Gangdong Fifth Street It's suggested to use a telephoto lens and stand further away to shoot, around 10:30/16:30 every day there will be big ships passing by, very photogenic, and they will sound the horn, but the passing time is very short, so find a good spot and press the shutter in advance Photo 2 Fujiazhuang Silver Beach Go down from Silver Beach and walk to the left all the way to the cliff, shoot from high down! Photo 3 Yanwo Ridge seaside boulders It's a bit tiring, but worth it! - Photo 4 Zhongshan Square The black clock, matched with the bank box behind, has a very British style Photo 6 March 8th Square Taken at the entrance of a public toilet (manually embarrassed)!! - Photo 7 Dalian Railway Station A great spot for shooting the 201 tram Photo 8 Near Century Street Just find the Lawson on Century Street, where the 201 passes by~ Photo 9 Tiger Beach Lijiabao Bay Shooting the opposite Fisherman's Wharf from Lijiabao Bay has a very 'European style', match it with a Roman Holiday resort style filter, it's amazing! Photo 10 Xiaogang Walk down the seafront boardwalk Photo 11 Lotus Mountain Climb the mountain to the corridor at the praying for blessings sign, you can shoot the Haida cable car and the sea And the cross-sea bridge! Photo 12 Xulai Sea Lodge The white staircase leading to the sea , Photo 13 Cross-sea Bridge Viewing Point Go up the small road from the south gate of the Forest Zoo by bus and you can see a place where many people take pictures (be safe!) Photo 14 Sculpture Park Keep walking south from the Sculpture Park, there is a row of seats, feels very much like Hong Kong! Photo 15 Fujiazhuang The winding road down from Silver Beach! Go in the evening! It's beautiful! Photo 16 Lotus Mountain The rotating corridor with the praying for blessings sign when you're about to reach the top, has a very Japanese atmosphere! Photo 17 Lotus Mountain The specific location is on the roadside when you're about to reach the top of the mountain, where you can see the cross-sea bridge! - Photo 18 Fujiazhuang Silver Beach Still go to the left side (because there are fewer people there, many places are photogenic!), there is a white building, shooting the sea stones through the pillars feels very atmospheric! , If you go to Dalian, remember to wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes, believe me, 60,000 steps is not a dream, you might even want more! Dalian, see you next time

Lost in a blue dream - As someone who grew up inland in the south, I've always been obsessed with the north and the sea. Dalian, located in the northeast and surrounded by the sea on three sides, has been a place I've longed for. Finally, on an ordinary sunny day, I arrived in this city. Dalian is too romantic, with its wide streets, beautiful buildings, and the azure sea at the end of the road, not to mention the enthusiastic people of Dalian. The sea in the south, with swaying coconut trees, is humid and vibrant, while the sea in the north has a sense of coldness and solitude, always murmuring deeply, silently accepting all who come to see it. I happen to be one of them. I like to go to the seaside alone, avoiding the crowd, in the early morning or at dusk, when the profound blue seems to swallow all my emotions, giving myself some time to indulge in this blue dream, floating, falling. Travel tips: 🏠: It is recommended to stay near Xinghai Square or Zhongshan Square. Xinghai Square has more updated homestays and hotels, offering more choices, and can meet the needs of those who want to stay in a sea view room. Zhongshan Square is more convenient for food, fun, and transportation, but the accommodation conditions are not as good in comparison. 🚗: Dalian's city area is not large, and the attractions are not too far apart. Public transportation and taxis are very convenient. Sunset viewing spots: Recommended Fuzhuang and Silver Sand Beach Photo spots: Picture 2️⃣, 8️⃣, 1️⃣0️⃣ Xinghai Square Picture 4️⃣, 5️⃣, 1️⃣1️⃣, 1️⃣2️⃣ Lingshui Bay Picture 3️⃣ Xinghai Cross-sea Bridge Picture 9️⃣, 1️⃣3️⃣, 1️⃣7️⃣ Fuzhuang Picture 1️⃣8️⃣ Silver Sand Beach Picture 6️⃣, 7️⃣ Tahe Bay Subway Station Picture 1️⃣4️⃣, 1️⃣5️⃣, 1️⃣6️⃣ Children's Park

I heard that the super popular Duoduo Fen Hotpot has opened in Zhongshan District I couldn't wait to drag my friends to check it out! · The location is a bit hidden, tucked away in an alley But good food is worth the search, and foodies will definitely find it! I highly recommend the sour soup base, it's really authentic Be sure to drink a bowl of soup before dipping your food It's sour and spicy, very appetizing, and the more you drink, the more you want! · Duoduo Fen is a must-order for every table It's very chewy and absorbs the soup, super delicious! They have a wide variety of other hotpot ingredients Guizhou soft sausage, chicken feather vegetables, mint leaves, pea tips, juice-absorbing fried eggs... Each one is delicious in its own way! Boiling in the pot is perfect for winter! · They also have a new dipping sauce Pour sour soup over mashed potatoes and use it as a dipping sauce, it's super delicious! I highly recommend the Guizhou potato cake, crispy on the outside and sticky on the inside, I love it!

At the end of 2024, I strolled along Xi'an Road in Dalian. The night was quiet, and the air was filled with a faint chill. My friends and I tasted Dalian's special seafood dumplings, and the sea urchin, abalone, and sea intestine dumplings were intoxicating, while the three-flavor stewed dish was another delicious dish. After dinner, we walked to digest, from Dashang all the way through Zhongshan Square. Memories of more than ten years flooded my mind, and I couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time. Those warm moments seemed like they were just yesterday. The time we spent together, the laughter and tears, are deeply imprinted in my heart. Whenever I recall these good times, I feel incredibly warm. As night fell, the streets of Dalian were brightly lit. We continued to stroll forward, feeling the charm of this city. Time flies, but memories last forever. May we all cherish every moment in the years to come, and let warm memories always accompany us on our journey.

Dalian is a city that I don't want to leave once I arrive! It has charming sea views, gentle waves lapping the beach, bringing endless tenderness—a romantic city deeply embraced by the sea Recommended attractions: 1. Xinghai Square It is the largest city square in Asia, with Xinghai Amusement Park, Centennial City Sculpture, and the Heavenly Book. The musical fountain and light show at night are very spectacular~ 2. Russian Style Street It is the first street in 🇨🇳 with Russian architectural styles from the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a history of over a hundred years and is filled with exotic buildings~ 3. Zhongshan Square Most buildings were built at the beginning of this century, with diverse styles including Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance, giving it a strong European flavor. It's a great place for photo ops~📸 4. Fisherman's Wharf Full of European charm, with colorful buildings and beautiful sea views, it's also a great place for photo ops~📸 5.

Zhongshan Square (simplified Chinese: 中山广场; traditional Chinese: 中山廣場; pinyin: Zhōngshān Guǎngchǎng) is a city square in the Zhongshan District of Dalian, Liaoning, China named for Sun Yat-sen (popularly known as Sun Zhongshan); originally designed and built by the Russians in the 19th century. Several classical buildings are located on the square, which were built during the first half of the 20th century by the Japanese.

There is a bookstore with a unique architectural style and chic layout near Zhongshan Square in Dalian that will wow you. The bookstore's philosophy is 'Innovate the bookstore concept, create a cultural palace.' In your leisure time, order a cup of coffee, pick a book you want to read, and if you're willing, you can read through the night. It's a 24-hour shop, oh!

1. If you want to have a comprehensive visit to Dalian, 3-5 days should be enough. The main attractions include: Xinghai Square, Cross-sea Bridge, Silver Beach, Fujiazhuang, Beida Bridge, Lianjiao Bay, Tiger Beach Polar Pavilion, Fisherman's Wharf, Bangchui Island, Sea Rhyme, Donggang, Zhongshan Square, People's Square (these attractions are also connected in a route); then there are Nanshan Style Street, Sculpture Park, Qixianling, General Stone, Jinshitan, Lushun Sun Valley and other places, but these are relatively scattered. 2. Having a car in Dalian would be much more convenient because the attractions are mainly along the coast. The Cross-sea Bridge to Binhai Road is about 40 kilometers long, and it's all mountain roads with little public transport and difficult to hail a taxi. Not having a car can be troublesome, and places like Lushun and Jinshitan are far from the city center. It's even more difficult to see the fluorescent sea at night without a car (so those who want to rent a car can contact me, cough cough). 3. For accommodation, I highly recommend the area around Zhongshan Square for its variety of food, good environment, and convenient transportation. For sea views, Xinghai Square and Donggang are recommended, where there are more upscale hotels with higher prices. College students looking for cost-effectiveness can consider the Xi'an Road business district or the South China business district, which are relatively cheaper with more food options and a younger crowd, and convenient transportation. 4. For hotels, try to choose regular chain hotels or above. They are not that expensive outside of holidays. I don't know much about homestays, but in my opinion, the biggest advantage of homestays is that you can go to the market to buy some seafood and cook it yourself, which is economical. 5. No one speaks ill of Dalian's seafood, but May 1st to August 31st is the fishing off-season. There is still a lot of seafood now, but most of it is farmed. The sea opens in September, and that's when the seafood is the best. 6. There are not many snacks in Dalian, other than seafood and stewed dishes. I don't remember anything particularly special. For snack streets, I recommend going to Jiaotong University Night Market in the evening, and during the day you can go to the snack street on the underground level of Central Avenue, which is basically safe. Dashui Night Market and Development Zone Night Market are a bit hard to describe. For restaurants, just search online for ratings; those with high ratings are basically safe. I especially recommend Dalian traditional dishes and barbecue. 7. I do not recommend going to Russian Style Street and Tianjin Street, as you may be disappointed. 8. For friends who like photography, I recommend a few check-in sanctuaries: Silver Beach (especially at sunset), streetside of Zhongshan Square, Lianjiao Bay, Nanshan Style Street, Xinghai Square's giant book sculpture, Sculpture Park, General Stone (although I am an amateur photography enthusiast, I think my photos are better than those I used to pay for in scenic spots. Passengers say chartering a car is 500, and 450 is for the photography fee, haha, but I won't post people's photos here. If you want to take photos, you can contact me, and I can send you a few that I took before. Locals who want to arrange a photo shoot can also contact me). 9. Dalian does not have much nightlife, only Democracy Square is relatively lively at night. 10. If you want to buy local products, I now suggest buying cherries. It's recommended to buy them at the market, and I usually like to buy some freshly baked squid strips/fish slices, etc. I do not recommend buying pre-packaged ones.

This is my third time in Dalian. Every time I come to Dalian, I have a different feeling. The last time I came to Dalian was in summer. Others are 38 degrees, Dalian is 28 degrees🤭 It's a city with blue sky and sea with its own filter~ ❄️Dalian's architecture is very distinctive because of historical reasons. It's one of the few cities in China that has both sea and snow in winter, so Dalian's romance also has a gift from heaven. ❤️If you come to the Northeast for a visit, you might as well come to this romantic city of China - beautiful Dalian. 📷Travel guide👇 1️⃣Blow the evening wind where the mountains and sea meet at Amber Bay🌊 2️⃣Stroll through the European-style district at Fisherman's Wharf and watch the fisherman's lights🐟 3️⃣Make friends with sika deer at Baiyun Mountain Park🦌 4️⃣Look at the frozen plank road in Donggang🧊 5️⃣Feel the retro prosperity of being the eldest son at Zhongshan Square🇨🇳 6️⃣Wander through the exotic waterways in Venice Water City. 7️⃣Look at the European-style castle from a distance at Lingjiao Bay🏰 8️⃣Blow the sea breeze at Xinghai Square, feed the seagulls from Siberia. 9️⃣Stroll through the literary streets in Nanshan Style Street. 🔟Sink into the neon lights of the city of love at Dalian Sightseeing Tower🌆 ⚠️Note: The sea breeze in Dalian is very strong, be sure to be mentally prepared, especially when the plane lands, it's very exciting!
