  • By charbay on October 9, 2003

  • A huge BEAUTIFUL square popular with locals. It has a museum, Convention Center, small amusement park, beautiful park area with huge fountain diplays and statues.

    City of Square

  • Dalian Page by Riona
  • Somebody told me there are more then 200 squares in this tiny city, so DaLian is also called the city of Squares,
    Among them, I suggest you visit Zhongshan , XingHai(star ocean),and People Square .
    If you go to those squares at night, you can see many locals dancing and kids playing, street vendors selling newspaper, flower, tiny toys.

    Golden Pebble Beach
  • Updated By charbay on October 9, 2003
  • Dalian Page by charbay
  • This beach is as its name describes. It is very popular with locals. To get there you take the GO train (new/modern, but you may have to stand on weekends) from the station at Dongbei and Shugang a the Xiangiujao Flyover. Cost is about 10 RMB. It takes about 50 minutes. Take a picnic lunch. Interesting architecture (college nearby) Ride takes you thru the industrial zone - not a great view. The beach has many different areas. There is a tour bus, I forget the price but not too bad, you can get off at any stop and then climb back on whenever you are ready to go to the next area. Empty during the week. It is not the "Eastern Hawaii" as one sign suggests but still worth a visit.

    Dalian Zoo/Polar Aquarium

  • Zoo - do not go there, your heart will break at the conditions that the animals live in
    Aquarium is much better. Both are pricey.

    "Bei Da Qiao" - Grand North Bridge.

    This place is at the coast and there are several beaches along this stretch of the coast for swimming, having a picnic, or sun-tanning during the summer. The coast is quite picturesque.

    Dalian FuJiaZhang Park -> okay if you don't know what to do.

    Dalian Xing Hai Park -> Love it,it's a stone beach, shocking for few minutes but love it after that, it feels like massage on your foot,speacially when I went on Spring - the stone & water are cool. weather?? okay around 20-25 degrees - don't forget your suncreen!
