#AbsolutelyFreeTrip I visited the Dalian Forest Zoo while sightseeing in Dalian. The vast grounds are attractive for their exhibits that make use of the natural terrain, and it was impressive to see the animals living freely. The zoo is roughly divided into the "mountain animal area" and the "plain animal area," and it is convenient to move around by cable car or shuttle bus. I was especially touched by meeting the adorable giant pandas at the panda house on the mountain. The animal exhibits are also well thought out, and there are many places where you can observe animals in a natural environment rather than through cages, so even adults can enjoy it. There is plenty to see, from the power of tigers and lions to the calm appearance of giraffes and zebras! The zoo also has snack shops and souvenir shops, so it is recommended for families and couples. However, the grounds are large, so it's best to wear comfortable walking shoes. 💞Reasons we recommend: ・You can meet giant pandas ・A vast park where you can walk in nature ・Easy to get around with shuttle buses and cable cars 📍Address: No. 60, Yingchun Road, Nanshidao Street, Xigang District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, China 116031  🕰️Opening hours: Standard opening hours: 9:00am - 4:30pm (ticket sales and admission until around 4:00pm)  Off-season (November 1st - March 31st of the following year) closes at 4:00pm 💰Price per person: Admission fee (tax included) • Admission fee (package ticket = includes nursing area + recreation area): • April 1st - October 31st (peak time): 120 yuan for adults • November 1st to March 31st (off season): Adults 100 RMB   • Discounts and free admission: • University students, students, and seniors aged 60-69: half price (about 60 RMB) #Asia travel #China travel #Dalian #Zoo

👍️Recommendation reason: Dalian is a city that perfectly combines the romance of the sea with the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether you are chasing the light and shadow of the tide or savoring the heat of the street, you can find a poetic corner that belongs to you. 🌊 📅Travel guide: I. Haida Cableway and Silver Beach Route 1. Haida Cableway Route The cableway connects Dalian Forest Zoo and Lianhuashan Observation Deck. The whole journey takes about 15 minutes, and you can overlook the Xinghai Bay Cross-sea Bridge and Binhai Road. The cableway has three stations: North Gate, South Gate and Lianhua Mountain. The one-way fare is 60 yuan/person, and the round-trip fare is 100 yuan/person. You need to buy another ticket after getting off at Lianhua Mountain. You need to buy a ticket for the Lianhua Mountain Observation Deck. Standing or sitting from the south gate, your back is facing the sea; sitting or sitting from the north gate, you are facing the sea. The best option is to start from the North Gate Station of the Zoo, buy a one-way ticket and get off at the South Gate directly without getting off at Lianhua Mountain (the scenery seen from the observation deck is similar to that seen in the cable car). After getting off the bus, you can reach the Silver Beach attraction by walking for about 15 minutes. 2. Guide to visiting Silver Beach The water here is clear and the pebble beach is beautiful, suitable for camping, swimming or just sitting and listening to the waves. Walking along the coastal boardwalk, there is a high chance of encountering wild sika deer along the way. Check-in point Komakura: A road leading to the sea, very photogenic. Cross-sea Bridge Observation Deck: The perfect location for sunset viewing on the plank road. Cave Internet celebrity spot: need to queue up, but the view is unique 2. Features of Xinghai Square and Donggang Square The gameplay of the two squares is the same, but the scenery is different 1. Seagull interaction The seagulls in Dalian are so cute. As long as you have ham or bread in your hand, they will immediately fly over your head in groups. 2. Musical Fountain Open every night in summer, the lights and water jets change with the music, it is recommended to go in the evening. 3. Going out to sea by boat The price varies in each season. You need to ask several companies and bargain. The taxi driver said that I was overpriced [Facepalm] 3. Venice Water City Located in Donggang Business District, it was built in the style of Venice, Italy, with Gothic buildings on both sides of the canal. You can take a gondola cruise (about 50 yuan/person) through the canal and experience European romance. 🍜Food Guide: From street food to seafood feast 1. Dalian traditional dishes: authentic flavors not to be missed Classic dishes recommended by locals include scallion oil bird shellfish, seafood family (abalone, sea cucumber, shrimp stew), sweet and sour fish cubes and three fresh stew (sesame sauce with fried stew). 2. Seafood market experience: freshly caught and eaten fresh Go to Heishijiao or Changxing market to select fresh seafood (such as scallops, sea urchins, abalone), and then find a nearby restaurant to process it. You can enjoy "seafood freedom" for only 100 yuan per person. 3. Morning markets and night markets: a culinary journey amidst the bustling atmosphere There are many morning markets such as Dagou Morning Market, Taoyuan Morning Market and Jinxiu Morning Market, which are all very conveniently located and offer a variety of fresh fruits, seafood, snacks and canapes at affordable prices. Night Market: Jiaotong University Food Street, Xi'an Road Night Market, Dalian Old Street, etc., all have barbecue and various snacks. We recommend trying Dalian's specialties, grilled sea sausage and garlic oysters. 4. Seafood dumplings: Xi Ding’s signature sea urchin dumplings are sweet and juicy, costing about 150 yuan per person. It is recommended to eat during off-peak hours to avoid queuing. 🏨Accommodation tips: It is recommended to stay near Xinghai Square and Donggang Square, which have beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. 💗Other tips: The Dalian Metro covers the main urban area, and the starting price for taxis between scenic spots is 10 yuan; when buying seafood at the market, be wary of substitutions, and give priority to old stores recommended by locals.
