[2025 Dalian Attraction] Travel Guide for Shicao Sceneic Area (Updated Apr)

The sea, cliffs, and azaleas—can you imagine how beautiful they would be together? You can see this scenery in Dalian. While the azaleas on Dahei Mountain are still budding, the azaleas in this part of Dalian are already in full bloom, especially with the sea as a backdrop. This kind of beauty can probably only be seen in Dalian. These azaleas are located near the Old Man and the Sea viewing platform at Shicao Amber Bay. They appear to be wild azaleas growing on the cliffs. Although they are incredibly beautiful, the area is quite dangerous. There are no railings along the cliff edge, and the paths are slippery. If you plan to visit, please prioritize safety. Avoid venturing too close to the edge to prevent slipping.

Play·One·Zhongshan·Shicao On the south side of Bangchuidao Scenic Area, a high-end villa community divides it into a free beach and a cliff reef scenic area. The Shicao Beach on the south side is not a sandy beach but a rocky one. In the morning, the water here is super clear, comparable to Yantai's Yangma Island. Standing on the small bridge on the east side, you can enjoy the mini ocean canyon view, which should be a good place to watch the sunrise. Note: This is a road turn, so be sure to watch out for passing vehicles when taking photos. - Play·One·Zhongshan·Fisherman's Wharf (Lingjiao Bay) Located on the west side of Shicao Scenic Area, it is a 20-minute walk away. When you come to Fisherman's Wharf, you do three things: feed the seagulls, feed the seagulls, and feed the damn seagulls! The dam is under repair, so if you don't like playing with birds, you might want to skip this place. There are a lot of tourists! Across the wharf is Lingjiao Bay, a great place for those with telephoto lenses to take photos in the afternoon. You can make your friends on social media go crazy, thinking you went to a European seaside! (But we didn't go). By the way, there is a McDonald's at the entrance of the scenic area.
