A nanny-level guide for Dalian for three days and two nights! DAY1 Dalian Forest Zoo-Best observation point of the cross-sea bridge-Silver Beach-Xinghai Square Music Fountain-Light show of the cross-sea bridge 📍Dalian Forest Zoo can be ranked in the top three in the country. It has a large area and many kinds of animals. Basically, you can see all the animals that can be named. The ticket price of 120r is too cost-effective compared to the ticket price of 300+ in Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park! There is also an amusement park inside, and the prices of food and beverage are acceptable. Tips: Cut some carrot strips in advance to feed the animals. Enter from the south gate and exit from the north gate, and take a shuttle bus to continue strolling on Binhai Road. 📍The best observation point of the cross-sea bridge is just opposite the south gate of the forest zoo. You can go there to check in and take pictures. The scenery is still good. 📍Continue to walk east along Binhai Road, and you can reach Silver Beach in 10 minutes. It is known as the Chinese Kamakura. The sea water is clean, there is no cross-sea bridge blocking the view, and it is very photogenic. 🦀For dinner, choose the Haiwei Zhengxian Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Hotpot near Xinghai Square. This restaurant is included in the bi-food list, and its main dish is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The old soup made in advance with old chicken, old duck, pork bones, and beef bones is rich and thick, and fresh sea cucumbers, abalones, and fish maws are added. The sea cucumber has a chewy texture and breaks when bitten. The abalone has a fresh taste and is good for beauty. They are all tonic ingredients. The oysters are Changhai oysters, which are super large and smooth in the mouth. The juice bursts directly when bitten. The hot pot slices, hot pot scallops, and hot pot prawns are also fresh and delicious. 📍After dinner, return to Xinghai Square. You can watch the music fountain at 19:30, and the light show of the cross-sea bridge at 20:30 and 21:30, which is still very shocking. Stay at the landmark hotel Castle Hotel in Dalian or the B&B near Xinghai Square at night. DAY2 Laohutan Ocean Park-Pinhailou-Fisherman's Wharf-Lingjiao Bay-Binhai Road-Golden Splendor-Venice Water City 📍After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, go to Laohutan Ocean Park, where you can see various marine animals and some animal performances. The Polar Pavilion has polar bears, beluga whales, sea lions, and seals. 🦀After Laohutan, you can go to the nearby Fisherman's Wharf Pinhailou to taste the fresh Dalian seafood. You can sit on the terrace while eating and enjoy the sea view. Scallops, sea urchins, oysters, and seafood rice are freshly caught and eaten. 🏖️After dinner, go to Lingjiao Bay to see the Fisherman's Wharf opposite. It's a different view. Bring a camera with a telephoto lens to take pictures of the feeling of a European town. 🦞For dinner, go to the must-eat restaurant Jinbihuihuang to experience Dalian's seafood barbecue. 📍At night, take a look at the music fountain in Donggang and take a gondola cruise to the nearby Venice Water City. DAY3 Gangdong Fifth Street-Rifeng Garden-Nanshan Style Street-Kanbei Cabin 📍After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, go to Gangdong Fifth Street, the most popular check-in spot in Dalian. Take a look at the road leading to the sea and encounter a cruise ship passing by. It feels very healing. With a telephoto lens, you can take pictures with a European feel. 🦀For lunch, choose Rifeng Garden nearby to taste the taste of the only restaurant in Dalian selected in "A Bite of China". Sea sausage dumplings are the main dish in the store

As a seafood restaurant that has long been on the list of must-eats in Dalian, the Fisherman's Wharf downstairs is a must-see attraction in Dalian. Sitting on the second-floor terrace, the sea and mountain scenery blend into one, and the European-style buildings next to it make people feel as if they are in Italy. When you enter the store, the waiter will lead the guests. There are also check-in spots such as Dalian's old trams in the store, and the photos are also very good. The seafood dishes in the store have been innovated many times and the feedback from diners has made the taste better and better. Eat a piece of Dalian's sea: It contains a variety of high-quality seafood from different places in Dalian, so you can taste the whole Dalian in one dish! Including "Lüshun Crab", "Jinzhou Xingshutun a Salt Field Shrimp", "Zhangzidao Xiayi Clam", "Changxing Island Abalone", "Lüshun Xingang Conch", "Zhuanghe Shrimp Crawler". The seafood selected is the best quality sea, and the method is not just as simple as steaming. Garlic abalone, Xiayi Clam, and crab make these seafood taste better and richer, and the other steamed seafood is their own taste. The pork patties underneath are beaten and forged many times, and with the taste of seafood, they are also particularly delicious! Dalian Sea Cucumber Rice: The only Dalian dish on the tip of the tongue of China is sea cucumber dumplings, and a serving of sea cucumber represents the flavor of Dalian. The pre-prepared sauce, leeks and fresh sea cucumber are poured on the rice, so that the entire sauce wraps every grain of rice, and the mixture is mixed together. The crispness of the sea cucumber, the tenderness of the rice, and the freshness of the leeks are integrated together, and the taste is distinct. Yellow pepper sauce steamed East China Sea yellow croaker: The yellow croaker is cut into pieces, and each piece is topped with a secret yellow pepper sauce, which is a bit spicy and a bit garlicky. The fish meat is very tender and fresh. Stone pot sea urchin tofu: Fresh sea urchin tastes sweet and fresh, and the aftertaste of the nose is probably that kind of fresh and broad taste. The stewed brine tofu is so delicious that you can't stop eating it. When you come to Dalian for tourism, the first stop is the seafood restaurant, Pinhailou!

Dalian Fisherman's Wharf is really beautiful, and Pinhailou is also a famous seafood restaurant. The service and environment are super good, and the queue is quite serious. The entire glass of the second-floor terrace can be opened, and there are several seats that are particularly beautiful for taking pictures. Sea cucumber rice, four big pieces, sea urchin tofu, and a piece of sea are all delicious, and there are many locals and tourists.

The most important thing when traveling to Dalian is dining. The Pinhailou Fisherman's Wharf store has a very high online rating, so I certainly won't miss it this time when I travel to Dalian. Not far from the Fisherman's Wharf is the Pinhailou, a super luxuriously decorated store with many adults, but I didn't queue up and went to order directly. The ordering is at minus one. The price of the dishes is moderate, and you can get a discount by adding WeChat, but there is no discount for seafood. We basically ordered seafood this time, and the consumption of 3 people was 480. The seafood is very fresh! The dumplings are especially delicious, but it's a pity that the sea urchin stuffing is sold out. I will go there next time.

I entered the Fisherman's Wharf at 5 o'clock. I saw that there were not many people in the Pinhai Building, so I went to the beach to take a walk. I didn't expect that when I came at 6 o'clock, the store was already crowded with customers. Then I remembered sadly that they could use the review app to get a number in advance. So I had to wait with everyone on the first floor. Fortunately, I only waited for a little more than an hour. During the waiting time, I had a good look at the Pinhai Building. The appearance of the Pinhai Building is quite impressive. The layout of the restaurant is a bit like an exquisite street garden. The furnishings are like the layout of a wealthy family in the old days. There is also a one-to-one-sized locomotive carriage on the second floor of the restaurant, where guests can sit and eat. For the first time to eat in a restaurant, I always follow the method of ordering recommended dishes, so I first ordered the Pinhai small octopus and gold medal crispy meat, which are ranked first and second on the menu. The stone pot sea urchin tofu and Pinhai shrimp pot stickers are recommended by someone on the review. The small octopus in Pinhai is more chewy and tasty, but the portion is large and we eat slowly. When the dishes were cold, we found that the cold octopus was more flavorful than when it was just served. Although it was not as elastic as before, it was easier to chew. The golden crispy meat was over-fried and tasted hard, and there was too much oil. We each barely ate one or two and didn't want to eat them. The stone pot sea urchin tofu, the tofu mixed with sea urchin is both tender and tasty. It is delicious to eat alone or with rice. The shrimp pot stickers, maybe we didn't eat them while they were hot, and they felt dry when we ate them after they were cold. The fresh taste of shrimp was completely lost, so we ate one and didn't eat them. When checking out, I followed the WeChat public account of Pinhailou and registered with my mobile phone. Many dishes can enjoy member prices. Also, remember to use the Dianping APP to make reservations, which can save a lot of time.
