[2025 Dalian Restaurant] Travel Guide for Xi · Ding (Updated Jul)

After looking around Dalian Dongfang Shuicheng, I walked leisurely to Xiding (东港点). It opens at 11, so I went right when it opened and luckily there was no waiting. (When I came out after eating, I saw that the waiting was no joke!) The sea urchin roe dumplings were really delicious, and the black vinegar pork ribs, shrimp porridge, and pickled cucumber salad were all delicious.

From the illuminated "Xi Ding" Dumpling Museum to the meticulously crafted northern-style dishes on the table, this meal is not just about satisfying hunger—it's an experience that combines aesthetics and memories. Crispy fried oysters, handmade dumplings, refreshing cold dishes, and stir-fried seafood... every dish is worth savoring. 📍 Dalian · Xi Ding Dumpling Museum 🥟 Highlights: Freshly made dumplings, Northeastern-style cold dishes, and creative fusion hot dishes 🌆 Bonus: Stunning night views and a perfectly cozy dining atmosphere
