Dalian - Bangchuidao Travel Guide

The sea at Bangchuidao is particularly beautiful. Looking down at your feet, the seawater is clear and transparent; looking straight ahead, the seawater is as clear as jade; looking further ahead, the seawater is light blue, azure; and looking into the distance, you see a deep blue. The color gradient becomes deeper and deeper, which is very beautiful! Bangchuidao itself is a large garden, with rows of green trees, lush green grass, and a strong sense of greenery. Besides playing in the water by the sea, you should also take a walk and sit by the ancient lotus pond, watching the lotus flowers in various poses. The most beautiful moment is when a gentle breeze blows, and the lotus leaves dance with the wind, as if the lotus leaf fairies are dancing gracefully! Friendly reminders: 1. Before going to Bangchuidao, check on WeChat public account to see if it is open. Bangchuidao occasionally has reception tasks and sometimes is not open. It is estimated that due to the Summer Davos, it will not be open these days (23-26). 2. The entrance fee for Bangchuidao is 20 yuan for adults, and a car fee of 10 yuan. If you drive, you do not need to get off at the gate to buy tickets. You can drive directly to the entrance and buy tickets for both the car and people together. 3. The scenic shuttle bus costs 10 yuan one way. If there are many people or if you like walking, you may not need to take the shuttle bus. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the ancient lotus pond and more than 20 minutes to the seaside. 4. After strolling by the sea, you can also climb the mountain to see the ancient relics (city walls, beacon towers, etc.). Walk to the right along the seaside (when facing the sea), pass the restaurant and café, and keep walking to the end. Follow the stairs to go up the mountain. When coming down, walk to the small pavilion and turn left to reach the beautiful white building in front of which you can take photos and enjoy the green scenery. 5. After visiting Bangchuidao, turn right to reach the south gate of Haizhiyun Park, where you can continue to visit Haizhiyun (I have written a special article about entering Haizhiyun from the south gate, you can check it if needed). If Bangchuidao is not open, it does not affect Haizhiyun, which is open every day and does not charge an entrance fee. You can drive to the south gate. In Haizhiyun, you can see the beach of Bangchuidao. 6. It is now the peak season, and there are more and more tourists in Bangchuidao. It is difficult to get a taxi after visiting. There is bus No. 90 at the entrance, which can take you to Lujia Village in two stops, but the bus frequency is low, and the waiting time is long. After getting off bus No. 90, walk a hundred meters forward to take bus No. 712 to Fisherman's Wharf; if you want to go to Gangwan Bridge or the city center Qingniwa Bridge, you can take bus No. 703 at the same stop. However, if you want to take bus No. 712 to Qingniwa Bridge, you need to wait at the bus stop on the opposite side of the road. 7. The section of Yingbin Road from Shanluan Street (Dangdai Company Station or Lujia Village Station) to the entrance of Bangchuidao is particularly beautiful (pictures 11-17), with a long wooden plank road. It takes about 30-40 minutes to walk. Those who like walking can walk to or from there.
