Dalian 1-Day Tour Highlights Guide

Dalian is one of the most European-style coastal cities in China, with beautiful beaches that are unforgettable. The main tourist attractions in Dalian are along Binhai Road, from Xinghai Square to Tiger Beach Amusement Park, with many attractions in between. The route is backed by mountains and faces the sea, offering pleasant scenery. Route: Fisherman's Wharf - Tiger Beach Amusement Park - Lingjiao Bay - Forest Zoo - Fujiazhuang - Silver Beach - Xinghai Square. This route has many attractions and is long, so you don't need to visit every spot. If you have time, a 2-day tour is recommended; if not, a 1-day tour will suffice. Accommodation: Xinggong Street or Malan Square 1. It is recommended to visit Fisherman's Wharf first. The small houses and various fishing boats are very beautiful, and many fishermen sell fresh fish right by the dam. Tourists can taste sea urchins and freshly cooked shrimp on the spot. 2. If you are traveling with children, you can visit Tiger Beach Amusement Park. Lingjiao Bay's scenery is average and can be skipped if time is limited. 3. I didn't enter the Forest Zoo, so I won't review it. If you go from the north gate, you can see Dalian's famous deer. There is a direct bus from Tiger Beach Amusement Park to the Forest Zoo. 4. Fujiazhuang is the best place for swimming, with relatively good beaches. Many people rent tents here. 5. The Silver Beach is mostly covered with pebbles. There are popular photo spots here, and many tourists visit. 6. Xinghai Square is well-known, with many high-rise buildings giving it a futuristic feel. It's a beautiful place to take photos, but the night market is quite disappointing. For accommodation, it is recommended to choose Xinggong Street or Malan Square. The former has a good location with many restaurants, while the latter is a residential area with local markets where many tourists buy fresh sea urchins. If you are driving, avoid these two places due to heavy traffic. The most convenient way to get around is by subway. Dalian is small, so you can get anywhere quickly.
