Imagine stepping on ancient rocks from 600 million years ago, with the endless blue Yellow Sea before your eyes—this is Jinshitan, Dalian, one of CNN’s “40 Most Beautiful Places in China,” a natural epic written by the wonders of mountains and sea! 1. Geological Wonders Adventure: Enter the Divine Sculpture Park Head straight to the core of the Coastal National Geopark, where a 30-kilometer coastline unfolds a magical panorama: - Dinosaur Exploring the Sea: At low tide, rush to the “Dragon Neck,” touch the massive stone body carved by tides, and snap a “Riding the Dragon to Sea” masterpiece; - Turtle Back Stone: Feel the world’s largest “Number One Wonder Stone,” with turtle shell-like patterns hiding billion-year-old secrets; - Find surprises along the boardwalk: Listen to the waves beside the “Beethoven Head,” watch the “Great Roc Spreading Wings” ready to soar, every step is magical. Tip: Taking a speedboat around the sea is even more thrilling, with giant stones rushing into the sea like huge beasts! 2. Golden Coast Fun: Own 4.5 kilometers of golden romance Dive into the jelly-like sea of the ten-mile Golden Coast in the afternoon! Fine sand spreads like golden powder: - Exciting activities: Rainbow parasailing for panoramic views, wakeboarding chasing the waves; - Family time: Digging sand and catching crabs, riding beach ATVs, kids instantly become “little sea experts”; - Sunset ritual: Evening barbecue with ice-cold beer, dancing by the bonfire, the air filled with the aroma of grilled squid. 3. Night Adventure in the Fairy Tale Kingdom: Roller Coaster and Fireworks Dance Together Discover the soul of the Kingdom Theme Park’s night session! - At 6 PM, rush to the “Thunder Chariot” roller coaster, screaming and flipping in the sunset glow; - At 8 PM, wait in front of the castle for the light and fireworks show, with blazing fireworks bursting in the night sky; - Bonus: Must-try bomb squid and themed ice cream, double the fun! **Hidden Surprise: The Jinshi Cultural Expo Plaza next to the light rail station hides 8 treasure museums! The Future Science Museum’s AI “revives” ancient people for conversations, the wax museum’s Lu Xun has piercing eyes… This time-traveling shock awaits your discovery! Practical Tips: - Transportation: Take Metro Line 3 from downtown directly to Jinshitan (50 minutes/8 yuan), then buy a 20-yuan sightseeing bus ticket for unlimited rides all day; - Accommodation: Stay at Holiday Inn Express to watch fireworks, or relax in deep-sea hot springs at Luneng Hot Spring Holiday Inn; - Best time to visit: July-August for water fun and cooling off, September-October for delicious seafood, fewer crowds, and serene scenery. Fifty million years of waves carving, three hundred million years of rock layers whispering—Jinshitan hides the earth’s romance in the whispers of blue waves and stone patterns.
