Special forces, must be special forces!!! The beauty of Dalian is endless, you can't finish seeing or taking pictures even with 60,000 steps a day! It's really a treasure city worth visiting multiple times! Let me share some photo spots I checked in Dalian! Photo 1 Gangdong Fifth Street It's suggested to use a telephoto lens and stand further away to shoot, around 10:30/16:30 every day there will be big ships passing by, very photogenic, and they will sound the horn, but the passing time is very short, so find a good spot and press the shutter in advance Photo 2 Fujiazhuang Silver Beach Go down from Silver Beach and walk to the left all the way to the cliff, shoot from high down! Photo 3 Yanwo Ridge seaside boulders It's a bit tiring, but worth it! - Photo 4 Zhongshan Square The black clock, matched with the bank box behind, has a very British style Photo 6 March 8th Square Taken at the entrance of a public toilet (manually embarrassed)!! - Photo 7 Dalian Railway Station A great spot for shooting the 201 tram Photo 8 Near Century Street Just find the Lawson on Century Street, where the 201 passes by~ Photo 9 Tiger Beach Lijiabao Bay Shooting the opposite Fisherman's Wharf from Lijiabao Bay has a very 'European style', match it with a Roman Holiday resort style filter, it's amazing! Photo 10 Xiaogang Walk down the seafront boardwalk Photo 11 Lotus Mountain Climb the mountain to the corridor at the praying for blessings sign, you can shoot the Haida cable car and the sea And the cross-sea bridge! Photo 12 Xulai Sea Lodge The white staircase leading to the sea , Photo 13 Cross-sea Bridge Viewing Point Go up the small road from the south gate of the Forest Zoo by bus and you can see a place where many people take pictures (be safe!) Photo 14 Sculpture Park Keep walking south from the Sculpture Park, there is a row of seats, feels very much like Hong Kong! Photo 15 Fujiazhuang The winding road down from Silver Beach! Go in the evening! It's beautiful! Photo 16 Lotus Mountain The rotating corridor with the praying for blessings sign when you're about to reach the top, has a very Japanese atmosphere! Photo 17 Lotus Mountain The specific location is on the roadside when you're about to reach the top of the mountain, where you can see the cross-sea bridge! - Photo 18 Fujiazhuang Silver Beach Still go to the left side (because there are fewer people there, many places are photogenic!), there is a white building, shooting the sea stones through the pillars feels very atmospheric! , If you go to Dalian, remember to wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes, believe me, 60,000 steps is not a dream, you might even want more! Dalian, see you next time

The sun shines on the sea, and now it is spring have not seen the sea for a long time, the beach is very beautiful... finally arrived at the season where the sea breeze is very comfortable ~ watching the sea in Dalian, bird's nest Ling Park is a place I like very much. The seaside trails are shaded by trees, the air is fresh and the view of the observation deck is also very good. The angle of the sunset is also very good. If you are traveling, it is recommended to come over at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Go shopping in the park and watch the sunset. It is a perfect arrangement~
