No need to go to Guilin, Dalian has a super off-the-beaten-path "Elephant Trunk Hill".

Who says you have to go to Guilin to see "Elephant Trunk Hill"⁉️ By the seaside in Dalian, I discovered a super niche, naturally mysterious giant rock wonder!😍 From afar, this huge sea-eroded stone arch is truly breathtaking! The waves🌊 crash at its base, time has carved marks on it, as if a giant elephant is dipping its long trunk into the sea to drink. Nature’s craftsmanship is simply amazing!✨ Sitting on the nearby smooth reef, feeling the crisp and salty sea breeze, thinking of nothing, just quietly watching this magnificent scene… Instantly feeling healed! All worries are blown away by the sea breeze~ 💙 📍Exact location & directions: 1. 🧭 Navigate to Old Fisherman’s Iron Pot Stewed Live Fish, Lushunkou District (you can confirm the exact location on the map). 2. Find the nearby seaside, you’ll first see a very distinctive cluster of stone pillars—great for cool photos!📸 Walk through them. 3. After reaching the seaside, follow the coastline and keep walking to the right. 4. Walk along a somewhat distant but wild and charming seaside path, the "Elephant Trunk Hill" is waiting for you ahead! (The scenery along the way is also fantastic!) 📸 Photo tips (super important!) ⚠️ Be sure to check the tides! Visit during low tide! At high tide, parts of the path will be submerged, which is unsafe and you won’t get the full view!🌊 (You can check tide times in advance with a tide app.) 👟 Wear comfortable, non-slip sports shoes! From walking through the stone pillars to the seaside and approaching Elephant Trunk Hill, the path is full of rugged reefs—no high heels or sandals! Safety first! A wide-angle lens will better capture its grandeur! Drone shots are even more spectacular (if flying is allowed)! Go on a clear, sunny day with good visibility for bluer water and clearer photos!☀️ 💖 Highly recommended for those who love exploring hidden gems, natural wonders, and want to take stunning photos! Few people, beautiful scenery, and an amazing experience! ❤️❤️❤️ Follow MaoMao Go Travel, no worries about taking kids out for photos!
