How to get to Dandong from Dalian?

The fastest and best way to get to Dandong in Dalian is to do a bus. It is recommended to buy a bus that goes straight to Dandong. Fast, safe, comfortable, and not stopping at the stop. It is a highway, it is very convenient! The journey is three and a half to four hours, the fare is about 70, and the place to sell tickets is in Victory Square. There is a Koreatown building, and there is a bank downstairs, that is, the place that is facing the train station! The place to sell tickets is a small iron house, very rudimentary. Behind the hut is an underpass! Look for it! There are no particularly obvious signs. The car is there too! I don't remember the departure time. Anyway, about four times a day, there is one class in the morning, and two classes are around 12:30 and around 1:30. There is also a bus around 2:30 in the afternoon! You'd better go buy tickets one day in advance. As a reminder, there are many anti-city taxi drivers near the ticketing lodge. Usually a taxi plus a driver sits 5 people. They ask for more money, unless you are in a hurry, or you are still better at BUS than at home! If you want to sit in a taxi, then bargain with him. Usually give him 80-120! See if you can talk! There is also a BUS from Dalian to Dandong, where you can buy tickets and take a bus at the Dalian Harbour Bridge Bus Terminal. I do not recommend sitting in that kind of car, this time is relatively small, very uncomfortable, and stop and go, super depressed. There are many people, and sometimes you have to add a position in the original aisle! It feels very uncomfortable! And there is no sense of security! It takes 5.6 hours to get to Dandong in that kind of car! And the fare is about 5-6 yuan. (These cars are mostly private) and the price of the BUS (state-run) on the Victory Square is not much, but the conditions are much better! I have been in the Victory Square for four years in my university. I went back to Dandong. I have been sitting in the train, but it takes 14 hours to get too long. The BUS in Victory Square is the best way! I suggest you go there in advance to find, book tickets in advance!
