I have always wanted to take a spontaneous trip. This time, I finally set foot on the land of Dalian.

Day 1

I departed from Hangzhou and arrived in Dalian at noon. To my surprise, there is a subway at the airport, making transportation extremely convenient. I took the subway to my accommodation near Xinghai Square. There are not only many delicious foods here but also convenient transportation.

After a short rest, I began my first day's journey. First, I came to Zhongshan Square and felt the blend of history and modernity. Then I went to the Russian Style Street. The buildings full of exotic charm make people feel as if they are in a foreign country. After that, I hurried to Donggang. The evening here is extremely beautiful. The setting sun shines on the sea surface, and you can also feed seagulls. There are several simple restaurants by the sea, and the environment is very photogenic. Coming out of Donggang, I arrived at the Venetian Water City.

At night, the water city is brightly lit and extremely beautiful.

Day 2

Today's schedule is full. I first went to the Dalian Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform. I took a taxi to the south second gate of the forest zoo. Here, I bought a ticket and took a small train to the viewing platform. You can choose to go up to the second floor to enjoy the scenery. I directly chose to take the cable car to the south gate. The cable car is really worth taking. The scenery along the way is extremely beautiful.

Walking for 10 minutes across the road from the south gate, you will reach the best viewing spot of the cross-sea bridge. This place is really photogenic. However, the effect taken with a mobile phone is generally average. If possible, you can bring a camera. There are also photographers there, and the price is 10 to 20 yuan per photo.

Then I came to Yintan Beach. Here are all stones. Many people are camping and swimming here. But I think this place is just so-so. After a while, I left because there were no seats in the coffee shops and it was quite sunny.

In the evening, I came to Xinghai Square. Xinghai Square is very large. The light show is very shocking. There is also an amusement park on the square. I rode on a swing. It's so high!

Day 3
On the last day, I went to Fisherman's Wharf, Laohutan and Xulai Seaview Hostel. This place is very suitable for people who love taking pictures. Finally, I returned to the Venetian Water City.

This trip to Dalian left a deep impression on me. The most recommended places are Donggang, the Venetian Water City, the cable car and cross-sea bridge, and Xinghai Square. Although Dalian is not hot, it is quite sunny. Everyone must do a good job in sun protection. Also, I really like the food in Dalian! Looking forward to the next trip.
