I regret coming to Dalian so late! A seriously underestimated northeastern coastal city
I thought Harbin and Mohe were beautiful enough, until I came to Dalian!
Dalian is definitely a seriously underestimated northeastern tourist city.
During my recent trip to the northeast, because I couldn't get a flight from Harbin to Guangzhou,
So I deliberately rushed from Mudanjiang to Dalian for 2 days and then came back. I was completely amazed by this exotic coastal city. The sea, snow, seagulls, lighthouses, European-style towns, and century-old buses. My friends thought I went abroad when they saw my moments.
If you come to the northeast, you might as well come to this city of romance.🥳

📸About taking pictures
✨Lingjiao Bay: Take a photo with the Fisherman's Wharf on the opposite side, rows of colorful houses, really feel like Italy
✨Venice Water City: The buildings inside have a European water city feel, unfortunately, the river is frozen in winter and there are no small boats, but the Seagull Bar next to it, I really love it, so many seagulls!
✨Dalian Art Museum: A very unique Gothic building, the red wall and pointed roof are next to the street full of Russian style, very fairy tale
✨Culture Street, Struggle Lane: The alley built along the mountain is where most of the old Dalian people live. Now it has also integrated many literary and artistic small shops, half retro and half trendy, very suitable for Citywalk
The word 'Dalian' is also here, you can 🛰️ navigate to the Magic Pot Coffee
✨Zhongshan Square: Dalian's 'Wall Street', it is said to be modeled after the star-shaped square in Paris, France. Standing in the middle of the huge circular square, you can see European-style buildings everywhere, groups of pigeons, especially romantic~ You can also walk to Century Street and take a ride on the century-old tram
✨Xinghai Square: It is said to be the largest square in Asia, I especially like to blow the sea breeze by the sea, feed the Siberian seagulls, super big!

🥳Travel tips:
1⃣️Dalian in winter is really cold because it is by the sea, especially the seaside wind is very strong, you must wear a hat, scarf, gloves, and mask! 2⃣️It is recommended to take the subway or taxi for transportation, and the taxi in Dalian is really not expensive.

It's a scene only found in comics, the stunning Lianjiao Bay and Tiger Beach in Dalian
🛶The Italian colorful European-style buildings at Dalian's Tiger Beach are the most beautiful photos on the internet.
The colorful houses are lined up across the bay, against a backdrop of rolling hills.
But it really tests your professional equipment and photography skills.
Walk forward 200 meters, the stairs at Lianjiao Bay really do produce a comic-like beauty.
·
‼️Real situation report ahead, take advice!
⚠️The colorful houses at Tiger Beach, if not under a big sun or a big filter, are not visibly colorful at all.
Because you're across a very wide bay, if you want to take photos of people and houses, you can only zoom in 5-6 times on your phone, which will blur the people, so you need to enhance the clarity in post-processing.
Without professional equipment, you might not be able to capture the texture, although I used a phone, I also did a lot of post-processing.
The better shooting location I found is at the stairs heading to Lianjiao Bay.
You can take photos of people sitting with the houses across the bay as a background, and more importantly, you won't capture other people in the shot! (In reality, there are a lot of people on both sides.)
·
☁️The sky stairs at Lianjiao Bay are super beautiful, but you need to queue up.
There are two layers of stairs suitable for taking pictures, and you need to queue for both. I went on a Saturday.
I queued for 20 minutes.
Because you can only sit on that corner, you must pay attention to safety, and if you're afraid of heights, please give up.
·
🏠Location: Lianjiao Bay parking lot (where you can take all the photos in this note)
Sofia.Gonzalez.48
Real shots of Lianjiao Bay! Recommended to everyone who comes to Dalian
Lianjiao Bay is opposite the Fisherman's Wharf, and from Lianjiao Bay you can see the colorful European-style buildings of the Fisherman's Wharf. The houses are built layer by layer along the mountain, with colorful exteriors like a palette. Seagulls fly over the azure sea, and fishing boats returning from the sea pass by slowly. The splendid scene is captivating, making it hard to take your eyes off and resist pressing the shutter continuously.
Walking from the parking lot towards the sea, you will first pass a leisure park, and if you continue forward, there will be a small path that leads to the seaside embankment.
As you walk, you can see the lighthouse of the Fisherman's Wharf. Soon after, you will see the embankment that looks like a cake. The grey shore and the azure sea give a feeling of beauty and solitude. Along the way, you'll also encounter many people fishing, wondering about their catch of the day. At the end of the road is the glittering bay, like a mountain opening its arms to embrace the sea.
On the way back, just at sunset, the colorful houses on the opposite shore are draped in a layer of warm orange gauze. The beautiful scenery always feels healing.
📍Location: Binhai Middle Road, Zhongshan District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, navigate directly to 'Lianjiao Bay Parking Lot'
💰Admission: Free
⏰Opening Hours: All day
⏳Duration: About 1.5 hours
🌟Tips: Need a telephoto lens to clearly capture the colorful houses on the opposite side; try to choose a time when the sunlight is not so intense to go

Dalian Lijiabao Bay: A must-visit spot with few people and beautiful scenery, definitely worth a visit!
Dalian Lijiabao Bay is located at the southernmost tip of Dalian, a poetic seaside natural ecological area on the Yellow Sea, named after the land connected to the sea resembling a water chestnut. The ecological environment and natural scenery are quite impressive. Because this spot is not very well-known to many people and the transportation is not very convenient, it can be considered a niche attraction. Perhaps due to the fewer tourists, the ecology here can be considered one of the best in Dalian. At Dalian Lijiabao Bay, you can gaze at the stunning and European-American style Fisherman's Wharf, making one mistakenly think they are in a European or American seaside art village.
Tiger Beach is the southernmost seaside park in Dalian, featuring a characteristic scenic area built with European-style architecture, with Lijiabao Bay to the south. In Lijiabao Bay, you can see scenery reminiscent of seaside towns in Europe and America, which is quite interesting.
Compared to other scenic areas in Dalian, Lijiabao Bay is not in a particularly good location and public transportation is not very convenient. You either have to take a taxi or walk a few kilometers after taking the subway to get there, so most people give up on this spot. In fact, there are many points of interest, and the view is also very impressive.
1. Highlights of the scenic area:
The towering peaks on land plunge deep into the Yellow Sea like giant water chestnuts, which is quite spectacular! At the foot of the mountains, you can enjoy a variety of pristine island scenery. Lijiabao Bay is a pure natural landscape, not managed as a fee-charging scenic area. Besides the inconvenient transportation, there are no other faults to be found. The original ecological fishing village scenery contrasts with the European-American style Fisherman's Wharf in the background, creating a striking beauty.
You can also fish with the local elders and experience the joy of fishing in the open sea.
2. Best travel season:
When visiting Dalian Lijiabao Bay, be sure to choose good weather. Generally speaking, autumn is the best season to visit, with the sea breeze being neither cold nor hot and the weather clear, making the entire bay as beautiful as a painting. Do you like such island scenery?
The early autumn is the best time to visit Dalian Lijiabao Bay, when clothing is more casual. Enjoying the beautiful scenery by the Yellow Sea and the warm breeze is a truly wonderful feeling.
3. Special precautions:
Although Dalian Lijiabao Bay is very beautiful, safety must be a priority. After all, it is not a fee-charging scenic area and lacks the safety measures and emergency services that such areas typically have. When playing in the scenic area, be sure to watch out for the hidden reefs under the water to avoid slipping.
At low tide, you can go from one side of the mountain to the other, but it becomes difficult to do so at high tide. However, the scenery of Lijiabao Bay at both high and low tides is distinctive and worth appreciating.
Since Lijiabao Bay is on the open sea, the tide rises and falls very rapidly. You may be able to cross over the rocks 3 minutes before, but 3 minutes later, you could be submerged by the tide and unable to proceed. At this time, you must not stay on the hidden reefs in the deep sea, as you could be swallowed by the sudden and rapid tide, which is very dangerous. Please remember this!
4. Suggested time for visiting:
Dalian Lijiabao Bay and Fisherman's Wharf both belong to Tiger Beach, so you can visit these two scenic areas together. The scale of the scenic area is quite large, suitable for slow-paced travel and photography. It is recommended to reserve at least 3 hours for sightseeing and photography.
The sea area where Lijiabao Bay is located is very nice, and you can take a boat to the deep sea for a tour, which is quite a good experience. If you are someone who likes photography or portrait photography, Lijiabao Bay is a great location for taking pictures.
5. Transportation:
Compared to Fisherman's Wharf, public transportation to Lijiabao Bay is slightly less convenient. You need to take the subway or bus to Tiger Beach Park, and then walk about 2 kilometers to reach the destination. It is suggested that it might be more convenient and faster to take a taxi nearby, and of course, driving yourself is definitely better. Lijiabao Bay Park also has a paid parking lot.

Behind it is the Forest Zoo (which has Feiyun Golden Tiger, and by presenting ID and tickets of tourists from other places, you can enjoy half price) and the uphill trail of Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform.
3️⃣Donggang Music Fountain & Donggang Yacht Wharf (P5-P8)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You can see the snow scene unique to the north in Dalian just after the snow, the waves surge ashore, and the ice hanging on the railing is unique. Behind it is Venice Water City.

PS: Since we are not very interested in cityscapes, many citywalk check-in places have not been visited, including Zhongshan Square, Russian Style Street, etc., which are also very popular.
▫️What to eat?
We chose the popular "Xiding Sea Urchin Dumplings" and "Songyunju Sea Intestine Fried Rice".
The sea urchin dumplings from Xiding are really delicious, every dish is not a minefield, the abalone is really tender!
I personally think that the sea intestine fried rice is average, the sea intestine is really delicious, but a bowl of rice is 128, it doesn't feel very valuable.
▫️What to drink?
There is a coffee shop by the Silver Beach, called "Ziyu Lanbai" see P17, the location is very good, you can sit in the house and bask in the sun and watch the sea, we got a coupon for 88💰, two drinks, two cakes and a snack platter, it's simply too cost-effective!!!
There is also a coffee shop on the Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform, which is more suitable for drinking when you are thirsty after climbing up. The taste is average.

I thought Harbin was already beautiful, until I came to Dalian!!
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.

Walk for 10 minutes to Venice Water City, there are many European-style buildings here, and every shot is very out of the picture.
Take a taxi to Lingjiao Bay Parking Lot in the afternoon. In winter, it is recommended to arrive at one or two in the afternoon, which is just downwind, with sufficient light and the sea is very blue. Here you can take a picture of the colorful houses on the opposite Fisherman's Wharf, the picture is beautiful!
Take a taxi to the south gate of the Forest Park before 4 o'clock, the opposite bus stop, there is a wooden plank road next to it, and you will reach the best viewing point of the cross-sea bridge when you go up. You can see the bridge from sunset to dark and light up, it's really beautiful!

Travel tips:
It is cost-effective to travel to Dalian in winter, with few people and beautiful scenery. Accommodation can be chosen near Zhongshan Square, or you can choose Xinghai Square, which is close to the sea.
The wind is strong by the sea in winter, pay attention to keeping warm.
Just take a taxi or subway when you go out in the city, it's very convenient.
