Xinghai Square

Located on the southern seashore of Dalian, Xinghai Square is a landmark of the city, larger than the two Tiananmen squares. The lighthouse, sculptures, seawall and even the surrounding tall buildings are all perfect backdrops for photos. The entire square is oval in shape, with a central avenue running north and south, lined with grass and beacon lights that lead to the sea. The marble on the ground in the center of the plaza is engraved with the symbols of heaven, earth, the 24 solar terms and the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, while at the southern end of the plaza there is a long relief of the footprints of thousands of people.

Zhongshan Square

Dalian Zhongshan Square is located in the Zhongshan District of Dalian, with a total area of 22,000 square meters and a diameter of 168 meters. The square is circular and radiating, with 10 roads radiating in all directions from here. It is also known as Zhongshan Music Square because it is surrounded by high-grade sound system and plays world famous music regularly every day. Most of the buildings around Zhongshan Square were built in the early 20th century and have a strong European flavor, including Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and eclectic styles. Most of the buildings around the square were built during the Russo-Japanese period, and most of these buildings are now used by financial institutions, so Zhongshan Square can also be said to be the financial center of Dalian. Of course, there is also a group of enthusiastic little things in Zhongshan Square waiting every day for the tourists to walk to the center of the square. Yes, it's this group of enthusiastic pigeons!

Dalian Forest Zoo

on the coastal road, you can walk two or three kilometers from the coastal road, passing by the castle hotel. There is a panda house, rainforest, elephant show, alpacas (can take photos), monkeys, flamingos... and so on and so forth. I like monkeys, many kinds, humane, especially cute. I think the price/performance ratio is quite high, and it is good to learn a lot and go to the nature. There are SUBWAY restaurant and food stalls inside, but the price is a bit expensive.

Japanese Folk street, Russian Folk street

Two attractions, not in one place; Tickets: free; I think this one is rather generic, just more distinctive Russian architecture, and selling Russian goods, not much, not even an attraction. The Japanese/Russian style houses are quite chic.

Zoo Transportation

Labor Park

pretty close to Dasho Newmart; Tickets: free; Labor Park is the memory of Dalian people, the first time it charged an entrance fee, then it was free, there is still something to see inside, Dalian is the city of football, the iconic building in the shape of a football.

Laohu Beach Fisherman's Wharf

A very artsy place, but the place is not very big, a fishing boat is moored here and it feels like a moment of peace. There are also a number of artsy little shops around, including Cat's Sky City, and a small independent jewelry design shop with a variety of diffraction paper. There are starfish caught by fishermen on shore and shops that are closed in the off-season, so it feels completely relaxing to be here.
