What's interesting in Dalian? Speaking of interesting tourist attractions, I want to pick up shells, but I am not interested in animal performances. Which is more fun, Tiger Beach or Xinghai Park?

In late spring and early summer, I left my complicated work and went to the beautiful coastal city of Dalian alone. Walking out of the airport, although the sun is shining, the sea breeze brings the unique leisure atmosphere of coastal cities. I spent nine romantic days in Dalian. When I returned to Beijing, I couldn't help writing down some experiences of this self-help tour and sharing them with my friends.

First of all, talk about housing. For self-help tourists, housing is the first problem to be solved. In Dalian, there are many large and small hotels. For living, I have two suggestions, urban area or seaside. Living in the city center is very convenient for transportation, shopping and eating. It is recommended to live near People's Square, Hope Square, Friendship Square and Zhongshan Square. These places not only have convenient transportation, but also have beautiful environment. But remind everyone that it is best not to choose to live near the railway station, where people are crowded and the environment is poor. Living by the sea, of course, is refreshing, near Xinghai Bath, because this place is very close to the scenic spots, and you can visit Xinghai Square at night if you have nothing to do. I'm staying at a family hotel. I found it on the website through the introduction of a netizen. The boss is very nice. Their hotel is called Dole Family Hotel. Since websites are generally not allowed to provide you with a website address or something, you should be able to find it by searching online.

Let's talk about food If it's not enough, you can't play well. There are few places to eat breakfast in Dalian. If you don't eat breakfast, the morning outing will be very painful. The vicinity of my hotel is ok, because there is a school, so the breakfast is very rich. As for lunch and dinner, you can enjoy delicious seafood in Dalian. There are many introductions about places to eat seafood on the Internet, so I won't repeat them. Besides seafood, you can also try another specialty, barbecue. It is recommended that there is a Wang Mazi barbecue near May 4th Square, where two people have a barbecue seafood dinner, which is about 70 yuan. When I first arrived in Dalian, I couldn't find a place to eat. After groping, I found several restaurants. Ni Frog Bridge has all kinds of Chinese and Western fast food, Friendship Square has many cheap small restaurants, and South Shidao Street has some large restaurants.

Next, play is also the core part. Personally, I think there are three lines worth seeing: Binhai Road, Lushun and City Square.

Let's take a look at Binhai Road, which is the most famous tourist attraction in Dalian. It starts from Haizhiyun Square in the north, passes through Bangchui Island, Tiger Beach and Fujiazhuang, and reaches Xinghai Square in the west. This road is a typical Panshan road, with mountains on one side and sea on the other. The scenery is spectacular. The whole Binhai Road can be divided into four sightseeing sections. The first paragraph is from Haizhiyun Square to Bangmu Island. There are two scenic spots in this section: Donghai Park (ticket 7 yuan) and Bangchui Island (ticket 20 yuan), and Haizhiyun Square is located in Donghai Park. This section is characterized by beautiful scenery, but the traffic is inconvenient and you can only take a taxi. The second section is from Banghammer Island to Tiger Beach. There are two scenic spots: Tiger Beach Paradise (tickets are divided into three types: 60, 80, 100 yuan) and a group of statues of tigers (free of charge). This section of the sea view is general and the playground atmosphere is strong. In the third section, from Tiger Beach to Fujiazhuang, there are three scenic spots: Beida Bridge (free of charge), Yanwoling Park (ticket 5 yuan) and Fujiazhuang Park (ticket 5 yuan). There are many beaches in this section, which is very lively. The fourth section is from Fujiazhuang to Xinghai Square. There are Silver Beach (ticket unknown), Forest Zoo (ticket unknown), Golden Beach (ticket unknown), Xinghai Square (free), Xinghai Park (ticket 10 yuan), Shengya Ocean World (ticket unknown) and other scenic spots. This section of scenery is spectacular and distinctive. The above fares are all peak season prices, and will basically turn into off-season prices after the National Day.

Donghai Park (4 points): Haizhiyun Square has a unique shape and a general bathing beach. It costs about 20 yuan money to take a taxi from downtown.

Bangbang Island (5 points): The scenery is picturesque and the bathing beach is good. It costs about 20 yuan money to take a taxi from Donghai Park.

Tiger Beach Paradise (3 points): It is recommended to watch performances and diving performances of seals, sea lions and dolphins. Bus No.2 and No.4 have arrived at the station.

Tiger statue (3 points): the sea view is average. It takes 5 minutes to walk from Tiger Beach Paradise.

Beida Bridge (5 points): It is an excellent place to see the sea view, and the bathing beach is good. It takes 15 minutes to walk from the tiger statue.

Yanwoling Park (4 points): 1 hour before entering the scenic spot. Take a taxi from Beida Bridge to 8 yuan.

Fujiazhuang Park (3 points): The sea view is average, and the bathing beach is good. There are many buses arriving.

Yintan (2 points): Seascape and bathing beach are general, just behind Haitian Baiyun Hotel. Here comes the no.5 bus.

Forest Zoo (4 points): a major feature of Dalian. It takes 15 minutes to walk from Yintan.

Golden Beach (4 points): I just looked far away and didn't enter the scenic spot, but the sea view and bathing beach look good.

Xinghai Square (5 points): The largest square in Asia, four times as big as Tiananmen Square, with beautiful scenery. Bus 16 arrives at the station.

Xinghai Park (4 points): The sea view is average, and the bathing beach is good. Here comes the no.22 bus.

Shengya Ocean World (3 points): Located in Xinghai Park, the submarine passage is good, but the ticket price is slightly worthless compared with the scenery.

After swimming in Binhai Road, let's take a look at Lushun. If you like history, you must go to Lushun. Because of the inconvenient transportation, we can only take a one-day tour in Lushun. I was introduced to Victory Square. I was going to travel to Lushun by the luxury bus of the bus company (fare 100 yuan, including the ticket to 60 yuan and the tour guide fee), but there were only two people that day, so I was forced to join the individual group of the local travel agency. The car is not good and the service is poor, but the price is 40 yuan cheaper. Arrive in Lushun at noon, with a general seascape, but you can visit the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War Site and the Russo-Japanese War Site. Listen to the tour guide and brush up on history. I still suggest you go to Lushun to study history, and don't forget the national humiliation.

Next, you can visit the square in Dalian. There are many squares in Dalian, which constitute beautiful scenery. In the evening, Dalian citizens come to the square to relax and enjoy.

People's Square (5 points): The political center of Dalian, adjacent to the municipal government. Here is lush green grass, surrounded by mountains in the distance and beautiful scenery. It was love at first sight for me. In the evening, you can also enjoy the music fountain.

Hope Square (4 points): It is also lush, but it gives people a feeling of vigor and vitality.

Friendship Square (4 points): Dalian's entertainment center, surrounded by theaters and restaurants, is a leisure scene in the city.

Zhongshan Plaza (4 points): Dalian's financial center is surrounded by large and small banks. The buildings here are very tasty. In the evening, many citizens come here to dance, kick shuttlecock and watch big-screen TV, which is enjoyable.

Olympic Square (4 points): Dalian's sports center, with a football field built in the square, complements Dalian's unique football culture.

Traveling in Dalian is convenient and economical by bus. The buses in Dalian are all empty, and the fare is 1 yuan (air-conditioned 2 yuan), which is clean and orderly. There are also many taxis in Dalian. Since 8 yuan, there has been no cheating on passengers.

Besides living, eating and playing mentioned above, there are several points that need your attention. The price in Dalian is comparable to that in Beijing, so it is not a good place for shopping. Before I came to Dalian, I heard a friend say, don't go out at night in the northeast. But in Dalian, I feel that the social order is good, so I often go around alone at night. However, after the National Day, Dalian will quickly turn cold and will no longer be suitable for travel and vacation.

The romantic trip to Dalian was over, and I reluctantly got on the plane back to Beijing. Looking back on every day spent at the seaside, there is a feeling of happiness. Goodbye, beautiful northern pearl, and I will come to see you again.
