As a Dalian native, what advice do you have for tourists?

As a local who has lived near Dalian Railway Station for more than 30 years, I can give some advice to foreigners who come to Dalian to travel:

1 Don't buy squid, roast duck and bananas in those informal stalls near the railway station. It's all a lie. As a local, I never go shopping there.

Don't listen to those sweet words that invite guests to stay in hotels. Ignore them. I really can't find a place to live, and the money is not plentiful. Instead of staying in an informal hotel, it is better to go to an internet cafe with good conditions all night.

There are several large commercial districts in Dalian, such as Tianjin Street, Qingniwa, Xi 'an Road and South China Plaza, each with its own characteristics, and Xi 'an Road is the most lively one.

There are snacks in these business districts.

The specialty food in Dalian is seafood. If you want to eat, go to a regular restaurant. Not everyone is suitable for eating seafood. Some people are allergic to seafood, and some people get upset when they eat seafood. Please be careful.

The scenic spots worth seeing in Dalian are free except Shengya, Tiger Beach and Forest Zoo. If you want to save money, you can go to scenic spots that don't cost money. In addition, there are many scenic spots in Lushun in the suburbs, and there are also many scenic spots in Jinshitan.

As far as travel is concerned, buses in Dalian are very convenient. If you don't know the relevant situation, you can download the relevant APP or call the bus company at 968600 to ask.

Suggestion 1. Malicious buying and selling porcelain around the railway station

I believe many local friends in Dalian know that the security situation at the railway station is very chaotic. Many businessmen and vendors extort foreign friends by various means in order to make profits. For example, the malicious porcelain-touching incident of Hongfuqiao Bridge at the railway station, which had caused quite a stir before. It happened that Dalian's well-known blogger @ Dalian suddenly experienced this incident, and the incident went like this:

In view of such an incident, Dalian, a civilized city, has been completely discredited, but then again, it seems that there are pits around the railway stations in various cities. The final conclusion is to try not to buy things at the train station and stay away from some booths. If you want to buy something, you can go to the "big food market" near the railway station.

Speaking of big food markets, I think many friends from other places are puzzled after listening to them. I want to go shopping. Where do you recommend me to buy food? In fact, don't get me wrong, you all know the mistakes! The big food market is a wholesale trade market with many things. There are all kinds of daily necessities and clothes in it, and there is a food market behind it. Seafood and some foods are relatively cheap. Of course, bargaining is necessary. It is said to be a wholesale market, but some stores still charge higher prices.

There is another paradise for shopping, and that is victory. As a foreigner, I think Victory Square is a living maze. During the tourist season, many foreign friends are trapped. They ask all kinds of passers-by. Sometimes, they will see this. Two foreigners asked each other the way, only to find that they were wrong. They all looked puzzled and had to ask the local people for directions. Of course, this place is really a good place to shop. At that time, many stores were very expensive, depending on how you bargain. I have to say, the food here is also good, and the variety is complete, so you can eat it without spending too much money.

In addition to what I said above, there are several well-known shopping malls in Dalian, such as Baiweinian (suitable for eating, not for shopping), Dalian Dashang (clothes are a little more expensive, and there are occasional discount exhibitions, which is also a good place to eat) and Parkson (there is nothing to go).

There is Xi 'an Road Commercial Street, which is a lively commercial street in Dalian. In fact, the gathering places of major shopping malls are mainly concentrated in the MacKay shopping mall. Of course, eating is also a good choice. It's crowded to eat underground and upstairs on weekends.

Let's talk about tourism. I want to say more about this, so I'll simplify it. There are many scenic spots in Dalian, and I want to see them all. It depends on how many days you want to use it. Let me recommend some places first.

Xinghai Square

This is undoubtedly one of the attractions you must visit when you come to Dalian, but Dalian people lack a lot of things. Even so, it is still one of the most famous squares in the world, attracting a large number of tourists every year. During the day, you can feed the seagulls and watch the sea view. There is also a relatively sound small playground next to it, and the night view is also very good. There are also coastal roads around, and hiking is also a good choice when the weather is good.

Laohutan fisherman's wharf

I think many foreign friends know Tiger Beach, but you don't know that there is a quiet and beautiful place called Fisherman's Wharf in Tiger Beach. This is a quiet place, suitable for taking photos, sketching, dating couples, enjoying the beautiful scenery and feeding seagulls. There is also a cat-themed cafe around, where you can rest when you are tired of playing. Take a photo @ Veteran Viagra

Golden Pebble Beach

Speaking of Golden Stone Beach, I think many people will think of discovering Kingdom Amusement Park. Friends who want to experience excitement can go here to play. There are also several interesting museums around, such as the Mystery of Life Museum. You can choose to go there according to your hobbies. Of course, Golden Stone Beach also has places to see the sea view, such as the Geopark. Many foreign friends mostly miss this secret place, with 80 tickets, mainly to see the beautiful sea view and strange differences. Take pictures @-Vichy-

After reading it, I wrote a lot about myself, and then I will talk about other places that need attention in a short sentence. It is not recommended to go to Russian style street. You can go to Donggang and People's Square to see the fountain first. You must stay in a formal place. You must go by taxi. Don't be a private car at the railway station. Don't eat in the shops around the railway station. At present, there are only Zhongyuan Street and Taiyuan Street in the night market, and other Tianjin Street food stalls and snack streets. You can choose to eat according to your preference, but it is not recommended. There is also Tianjin Street where things are sold. Eating seafood is not bad money to go to Pinhailou, and eating Dalian old dishes can go to 6686 old restaurant and Jiajia restaurant.

Dalian is a beautiful coastal city in the northeast of China, with all-weather tourism resources all year round. It is a good choice to go to Dalian to enjoy cherry blossoms and Sophora japonica flowers in spring, to go to Dalian for summer vacation and bathing in summer, to see autumn leaves and eat seafood in autumn, and to ski and wash hot springs in winter. Speaking of traditional travel time, it must be from the end of June to the end of September every year. During this period, the temperature in Dalian is suitable, the seafood is delicious, and the seawater temperature is also suitable, which is a good opportunity to feel the elegance of a romantic city.

Eat it. When coming to Dalian, you must eat seafood. Dalian's triploid oysters, Liaoshen, Haliotis diversicolor, purple sea urchin and Jinbei are all first-class in China. In addition, crayfish (Pippi shrimp), flying crab, fake abalone (soaked moth snail), yellow croaker, snakehead, gaba shrimp, sea sausage, anemone, variegated clam and red snail are also delicious seafood in Dalian. In Dalian, seafood is usually cooked, stewed and roasted in several ways. If you want to eat steamed seafood, go to Dalian's "Seafood Master" and "Sudazui Steamed Seafood", both of which are chain steamed seafood shops, and there will be no problem. If you want to eat stewed seafood, you can go to the famous seafood restaurant in Dalian. Taste House, Pinhailou, Tian Tian Fishing Port (slightly more expensive), Renhe Garden and Rifeng Garden are all first-class in quality and taste. If you want to eat barbecue seafood, you can go to barbecue chain stores, such as Hongda Barbecue, Man Ting Xiaozhai Barbecue and Fat Sister Barbecue. The selection of other hotels can be combined with the recommendation of "Public Comment"+"Meituan"+"DLTVHSH WeChat". Remember a few points: 1, don't go to those small shops that are particularly remote. 2. The per capita consumption of seafood in summer is about 150 yuan, and the low price of food may be a trap. 3, foreigners come to Dalian to eat seafood, and try to drink less cold beer. It is easy to have diarrhea when they are mixed together, which has nothing to do with the quality of seafood. If you want to try to eat raw seafood, try to go to a Japanese restaurant, and the products are guaranteed. Seafood has no peculiar smell except the faint smell of sea water. Please don't eat smelly and oily seafood. 6. Don't eat near the train station, because you know. 7. The price of the same hotel near the scenic spot is much higher than that outside the scenic spot. This is because most hotels in scenic spots only operate for half a year, and the high cost leads to high prices. If physical strength permits, take a few more steps to eat in the scenic spot. Of course, if you want to eat seafood with sea breeze, the price may not be your obstacle. 7. Squid is not a specialty of Dalian. You can try it if you want (high cholesterol).

Live. Accommodation in Dalian during the tourist season is very expensive. The price of the same hotel is about three times as high as usual. I suggest you book a hotel in advance. 1. 2. Find some apartment-style hotels. There is no other way. Remember: don't live in a bath center cheaply, you can't guarantee the safety of your property.

Sightseeing: Dalian's tourism resources are divided into two parts: humanities and nature. The humanistic tourism resources in Lushun, Dalian are mainly the ruins of the Russo-Japanese War. Dalian's humanistic tourism resources are mainly concentrated in Zhongshan Square, Nanshan Street and Russia Street. Wafangdian's humanistic tourism resources are mainly Fuzhou city. As long as Dalian's natural tourism resources are concentrated on the coastline, Binhai Road, Fujiazhuang Park, Xinghai Square, Bangzha Island, Jinshitan, Cracked Stone in Jinpu New District, Gold Coast, Wafangdian Jiangjun Stone, Xianyu Bay, etc. In addition, Dalian's Shengya Ocean World, Tiger Beach Polar Hall and Exploration Kingdom are all amusement parks worth visiting. Remember: 1, many of Dalian's cultural tourism landscapes are free. 2. Both Sea World and Polar Pavilion sell tickets online, and these websites (or apps) sometimes have discounts when traveling in the same city. The public transportation in Dalian is very developed, so it is very convenient to take a bus or take a taxi.

As a banker in Dalian, I can tell them that in addition to finding that there is no direct bus to the Kingdom, other tourist attractions such as Shengya Ocean World, Xinghai Square, Labor Park, Forest Zoo and Bangqu Island in Xinghai can take the bus! Where are you going? If you are embarrassed to ask others, you can use your mobile phone, Baidu and Dalian bus lines to inquire. In addition, no one and no shop near the railway station should go anywhere! As a local, I don't like spending money near the railway station myself, but you can go shopping in big stores when crossing the road, and 90% of the big stores you want have them. Also, not only Dalian Railway Station is chaotic, but I feel that the railway stations in the whole country are similar. After all, it's not an airport.

Buying water or drinks for express passengers is guaranteed. Most of the railway stations are from Henan and Xinjiang, and the people who live near the big food market behind the railway station are basically from Henan. Thieves and swindlers try not to buy things at the railway station. You can choose the things in Xinghai Square, the express hotel, the place where you bathe is very dirty, and all the locals go to play. You can consider Fujiazhuang of Baidu map or the place where Gao De Dalian wants to go. In addition, Dalian's prices are among the top ten in the country.

I love my hometown Dalian, where the mountains, water and people are more beautiful. Romantic City, a beautiful and clean garden city, is half of China's modern history. The appearance of a city is inseparable from its historical precipitation, and the development characteristics of a modern city are closely related to its long historical track. Haizhiyun Square, Zhongshan Square, Friendship Square and People's Square combine Chinese and Western styles, and the charming and fashionable modern urban architecture will surely dazzle you. The colorful square located on a central axis is a must-see scenery, and enjoying bicycles in the city will be the best choice for you to browse. Seagulls sing in Xinghai Square, the largest in Asia. Flying kites, people and nature blend together beautifully, strolling along Binhai Avenue and crossing the sea bridge. Shell Museum, Modern Museum and Forest Zoo can make you stop everywhere. In summer, Fujiazhuang Bath will be overcrowded. Children like Shengya Ocean World and Dalian Tiger Beach Ocean polar museum best. The fresh and romantic ecological environment needs your appreciation. I suggest you reserve enough time to order economically online. Because I have to say, no matter how beautiful the place is, there will be discordant voices. The passion for soliciting customers near the railway station has always been a major feature of Dalian. If you just browse and are fearless, you can choose them.

The area around Dalian is also worth a visit. Jinshitan found that there were day and night performances in the kingdom. Xiong Haizi at home will invite friends to take a light rail to go there for a day trip on holidays. Lushun is your must-see place. Bai Yushan, Mountain 203 and Dongjiguan Mountain are all products of World War II. The beautiful Taiyanggou Botanical Garden is rich in museum collections, thrilling snake museum, notorious Kwantung Army Command and the former site of Japanese-Russian prison. You can visit selectively.

There are countless high-quality attractions. If you know more details, you can add me. Thank you!

The enthusiasm of Dalian people is almost different from that of other tourist cities. If you eat seafood in Dalian, you have to eat and live. There are many hotels, so you'd better make an appointment to travel in advance. Taxi drivers are also very enthusiastic, and they are all pricing services. You should have a goal of where to go, that is, don't go to the hotel recommended by the taxi driver.

There are the most swindlers near Dalian Railway Station. Don't be greedy for petty gain, liars are in droves. Don't think there are special police and patrol cars nearby. You know, don't trust invitations from people near all kinds of software. They're basically liars. Come to Dalian to play mobile phones and decorate map software in case you can't find your way or get lost.

An authentic Dalian local's suggestion: Eat, drink and be merry should be formal, and it is best to have acquaintances or friends recommend or guide you locally. In fact, every city has criminals, and so does Dalian. It's not that there are many bad guys in Dalian, but that you always let the bad guys get away with it. Come on, Dalian is worth your visit!

Dalian people's advice: don't go the wrong way when traveling with express software, there is no black guide; You can stay at Hanting Home. Don't trust the black hotel. Don't go to shops near railway stations and tourist attractions to eat seafood. You can go to Zhongshan District if you have the conditions, but you can't go to Shandong Road. Visit Xi 'an Road and buy seafood to Changxing. DIY at the scenic spot. Never take a day trip.
