Chinese emotional city + sea, Dalian 1 night 2 days itinerary

#ChinaTravelMoment #2024WishEvent **Dalian(大连)** was a city where the phrase ‘Little Europe in China’ is not awkward. Cobblestone alleys, brick buildings, walking paths along the coastline, and even streets where you can take a tram in the afternoon… This is a travel destination I would recommend to people who like walking, taking pictures, and leisure! ⸻ Day 1 – European-style street + seaside walk 🏨 Accommodation recommended near Zhongshan Square or Russian Street (俄罗斯风情街) → Best for walking tours + Easy access by tram → Quiet alley atmosphere, many accommodations themselves are retro 🏛 Morning – Zhongshan Square & Russian Street walk → Real Russian architectural style street → Red bricks, blue roofs, small windows are cute and pretty → Photos come out best when the morning sunlight hits them ☕ Afternoon – Take a tram to Kadah Square (咖塔广场) & tea house → Trams are the real highlight of Dalian! → There are many emotional cafes, bakeries, and small shops around the Gada Square → It's also fun to look out the window from the tram 🌊 Evening - Walk along the coastal road & enjoy the night view of the beach → Recommended walking path from Xinghai Square to the sea → It's nice to walk quietly while feeling the evening sea breeze → A drink at the rooftop bar near the square is also perfect ⸻ Day 2 - Get closer to the Dalian sea ⛱ Morning - Huijiahou Beach or Laohutan (老虎滩) → Various courses from sandy beach + cliff walk + marine park → There are fewer people in the morning and the coastal light is really clear and clean 🧧 After lunch & souvenir shopping, move → Dried seafood snacks from Dalian, handmade mugs, and seascape postcards → Then move to the train station or airport ⸻ ✅ Dalian travel tips • 🚋 Make sure to ride the tram! The best place to watch the street from the window seat • 🧥 It's a coastal city, so it's windy → Bring a thin outerwear • 📷 Russian Street is beautiful in both morning sunlight and evening lighting • 🍵 Teahouses at Kaka Square or cafes by the sea both have good atmospheres • 🧳 For shopping, I recommend emotional local shops rather than downtown ⸻ ✍️ Final review Dalian is a city that suits people who want to spend their days slowly. It's perfect for those who want to take their time walking, looking, and feeling rather than intense trips! #travelplanning #overseastravel #Chinatravel #trip.comreview #travelschedule #dalian
