Tao Yuan Market is highly recommended by locals in Dalian

It's a must-visit market when you're in Dalian, known as the 'San Yuan Li' of Dalian but with affordable prices. After having the must-eat list in Dalian and achieving seafood freedom, you'll find that the market offers the best value for money. Tao Yuan Market is both wholesale and retail, and is recognized by Dalian locals as a high-quality market. They also ship goods all over the country. Fruits and seafood are definitely must-buys inside the market, and these are the most abundant stalls, so don't rush to make a purchase when you go. Take a good look around, because not all seafood is guaranteed to be very fresh. There is also a stewed bun shop in the market that has been open for 20 years. The old-fashioned Dalian stewed bun has no other ingredients, just sesame paste, sourness, and the original flavor of the bun. The fried sunflower seeds next door are especially fragrant, as well as the 70% cooked seeds. Strawberries🍓 and cherries🍒 are very cost-effective. Strawberries from Dandong are not the sweetest there, and Dalian's cherries are very famous, with various levels of sweetness available. The market also offers seafood processing. We bought mantis shrimp and sea snails there and had them processed on the spot to eat immediately, very fresh. Ordinary sea urchins are 100 yuan for 4, while horse dung sea urchins are 70 yuan each. The shop can clean them up for you to eat right away, fresh and sweet without any fishy taste. It can be said that strolling around here, buying some seafood and fruits to eat on the spot, you can have a great time without spending more than a hundred per person. The processing fee is just 20-30 yuan. Parking at the entrance is quite tight, limited to 30 minutes, so if you need more time, you can park nearby and walk over.
