Dongguan Street in Dalian is perfect for city walks.
The newly renovated Dongguan Street has a brand new look! It has just opened, and many stores have not yet opened, but the ones that have are already very beautiful, with a literary and artistic vibe! Many young people come here to check in ↑↑↑
Many old Dalian residents scoff at this, thinking that the renovation has lost its historical charm and is too modern!
It doesn't matter, the change of things is bound to have different voices, and controversy means popularity!
📝 A street perfect for city walks, you can check in here!

Dalian's mainstream citywalk block this year, really seconds out of the picture.
Dalian's century-old historic old street has a new look, and after a major transformation, it looks a bit like Wukang Road, with more continuous characteristics.
First of all, the location is next to the Dongguan Street tram station, and the block has a tram passing by, showing the characteristics of Dalian
Secondly, the shops inside are almost all the well-known shops in Dalian that have opened branches inside.
📷Photo guide:
Location 1: The tram station must be photographed
Location 2: Various door heads inside
Location 3: The extension of the outer track (but don't stand on the avenue to take pictures)
🏠Accommodation: It is recommended to live along the subway line 2, which is convenient for travel
🚗Transportation: You must take the 201 Dalian Century History Tram once, just stop at Dongguan Street, and the subway will go to Qingniwa Bridge, and you will walk a section, not recommended
🍗Food: There are Baiweinian Food Circle nearby, and you can also take a car to Xi'an Road, Dashang, etc.

The newly opened district in Dalian!! It's really great for photos!!
It totally has the vibe of old Shanghai! Don't miss this photo spot 📸 when you travel to Dalian!
This street experienced its peak prosperity in the 1920s and 1930s, and declined with the transition from a planned economy to a market economy.
Now, after renovation,
this century-old street has a completely new look.
It really gives a refreshing feeling!
When the tram 🚎 passes by, it feels like traveling back to an old-time TV series!
There is an old restaurant nearby ❗Liyuan Seafood!! Locals in Dalian have been going there since they were kids!! After taking photos on Dongguan Street, you can walk there!

Dongguan Street is coming, right at the end of June, Dalian's own Bund
Visiting Dalian's century-old Dongguan Street||Today, I visited the century-old historical district of Dalian--Dongguan Street (Phase I). Its name originates from a checkpoint for inspections over 100 years ago, which was located to the east of Xiaogangzi, hence the street was named Dongguan Street.
Dongguan Street is one of the existing provincial-level historical and cultural districts in Dalian, and one of the starting points of the city. In the 1920s and 1930s, it was once a bustling area. After the reform and opening up, it was gradually replaced by modern commercial facilities and market-oriented models such as Qingniwaqiao and Xi'an Road, and the once flourishing prosperity became a memory, eventually turning into one of the most dilapidated districts in Dalian.
In 2016, the expropriation of houses in the old town of Dongguan Street officially started. After the original residents moved out, there were different opinions about the future of this old district, leading to its abandonment over the years. Some people thought it should be demolished directly for land sales and construction (more direct economic benefits), while others believed it should be preserved and repaired. Fortunately, the preservation view prevailed, and in the second half of 2022, the renovation project of Dongguan Street officially began.
While Dongguan Street incorporates modern architectural design and traditional style cultural preservation buildings, it adheres to the principles of protection and utilization: 'restore the old as it was', 'supplement the new as it was', and 'integrate the new with the old'. I believe it will definitely become a new landmark and calling card for the city.
Finally, the merchant recruitment for the Phase I district of Dongguan Street has been completed, and it is expected to open to the public at the end of June. With this 'century-old cultural and tourism card', Dalian will surely create greater cultural and economic value in the long run.
