Dalian "Summer"

A family trip to Dalian in October ✈️ The sea is very blue when the weather is good. The guesthouse we stayed at is in Donggang (off-season guesthouses are very cheap and cost-effective). You can see the sunrise right outside the window, and it's quite close to the music fountain by walking; If you have good stamina, you can hike along the coast over two days, but still, do it within your limits; Starting point: Haizhiyun - Chenxi Beach - Bangchui Island - Xiaoliang Bay - Fisherman's Wharf/Lingjiao Bay (great for photos when the weather is good) - Backlight SHADE SUN (this coffee shop has a nice view) - Beida Bridge - Yanwo Ridge - Xiaogang - Qinhai Boardwalk - Fujiazhuang - Yinsha Beach - Xinghai Bay Bridge - Haida Cableway - Xinghai Square; Food recommendations: Lao Li BBQ, this place was recommended by a netizen in the comments by chance, and the taste was surprisingly good. Next door, A Fu Shi Tang is also very popular, but it was closed for a break when we went; Will American Restaurant, about 100 RMB per person, the taste, service, and environment are all quite good. Xiding is right next door; we took away a portion of sea urchin dumplings, which were delicious; Other Japanese restaurants like Sakura, Sugi, and Zhuangnei were all about the same to us, mainly because we are not very interested in this type of cuisine; We tried several local Dalian dishes, which were okay—fresh and generous portions.
