Q&A About Dalian

Any recommendations for fun things to do or places to hike in Dalian?
Hello and welcome to Dalian! Food: we have pretty good seafood in Dalian. Try pin hai lou 品海楼 (if you can, go to the one in laohutan). If you have the budget, go to wan bao 万宝海鲜舫 it’s really fancy but really expensive (think >$100 pp). You should also try out Chinese bbq places. Most of them on the streets are pretty good, just go for the ones with lots of people. There’s also a local dish called menzi 焖子, it’s like 粉条 but in chunks, very cheap and nice street food. My favorite place for it is called mengge 孟哥焖子 Bars: I have only been to one bar and it wasn’t that good (had to be the good Asian kid at home). But I know there are quite a few bars around minzhu square 民主广场 and maybe you can check them out. To do: you should definitively check out the aquariums. There are two famous ones, one is laohutan 老虎滩海洋公园 and the other one is sunasia 圣亚海洋世界. Both are good and you’ll enjoy the performances. You can go for a walk along binhai road 滨海路. It goes around the coast for >20km and has good views. There are a lot of squares 广场 in Dalian. The most famous one is xinghai square and I think it’s the biggest one in asia or something like that. I think you can rent a bike there and ride around. Go to jinshitan 金石滩 for the beaches. It’s a little bit far from the city but you can catch the light rail from the train station and it should take around 1.5 hrs. There’s a big theme park there called discovery kingdom 发现王国. If you are coming between July and August, it can get somewhat busy cuz it will be school holidays. So avoid the weekends for sure. If you have any more questions feel free to dm me 🙂
