It's not a foreign country, it's Dalian after a snowstorm! The sea, foreign-style buildings, sunset, and snow in winter are really impressive for a southerner like me. You must visit Dalian in winter. Cities with sea and snow are really beautiful. Here's a summary of the beautiful photo spots I visited: ✅ Lingjiao Bay You can see the distinctive foreign-style town buildings on the opposite side of the Fisherman's Wharf. I recommend going in the morning, when the light is good and there are very few people. ✅ Silver Beach The S-shaped bay and beach are covered in snow after a snowstorm, which is really beautiful. The snow is a perfect match for the beach and sea. ✅ Tram 201 Century Street bus stop, where you can take photos of the tram and red wall together. It's just that it's hard to wait for the tram (about once every 20 minutes) and there are a lot of cars, making it a bit difficult to take photos. ✅ Tahewan Subway Station A subway station by the sea. When the weather is good, it's really beautiful. You can see the sea in the distance, and the tram looks very Japanese when it enters the station. ✅ Songshan Temple A Tang Dynasty temple in the city, where it feels like you're in a different dimension. It's a great place to take photos on the side of the road. Xinghai Bridge Observation Deck I think it's the best place to watch the sunset in Dalian. The sea and Xinghai Bridge with the sunset are really beautiful. 🚇 Transportation: High-speed rail🚄 to Dalian Station, ✈️ airport to Zhoushuizi Airport, and subway and taxis within the city. Dalian is not that big. Accommodation🏠 If you want to see the sunrise, I recommend not staying too far from Silver Beach. However, Dalian is not that big, so you can stay anywhere. 🌴🌴 Tips: 1. As a coastal city, the wind is very strong. Be sure to wear a mask and hat. 2. If you're coming from the south, I recommend wearing a thermal underwear, sweater, and down jacket. It's about minus 10 degrees Celsius, but the wind is very strong.

Otherwise, you'll be crazy about its beauty! Dalian is a city that has been well-known since childhood, but it has become increasingly low-key in recent years. 🥹 You won't understand until you visit Dalian. It shouldn't be like this... There are mountains, seas, and snow, as well as culture and scenery. European-style buildings are distributed along the coastline, seagulls and deer are leisurely and intimate, city squares are not far from the sea, and vintage trams are like a beautiful picture. 🚶🏻 Dalian 3-day tour itinerary Day 1️⃣ Hangzhou - Dalian - (take photos of Xinghai Bay Bridge) - Taiyuan Street (take photos of the European-style buildings opposite) - Tiaoyue Bridge - Silver Beach (deer by the sea, black reefs, and islands in the sea) - Amber Bay Day 2️⃣ Zhongshan Square - Minsheng Street - Qiyi Street Morning Market (frozen pears, seafood, etc.) - Check in at Tram 201 (Shiji Street, Chunhai Street, and Huale Square are all classic spots) - Check in at Songshan Temple - Check in at Lingjiao Bay - Fisherman's Wharf to watch the sunset Day 3️⃣ Feed seagulls at Xinghai Square (really great for photos) - Xinghai Bay Bathing Beach - Dalian Art Museum - Russian Style Street ✅ Must-visit attractions Silver Beach: The deep blue sea, black reef beaches on several islands in the distance, and a group of deer resting on the hillside nearby. If it snows, it will be so beautiful that you will cry! Xinghai Square: There are relatively few tourists here, and the beach and coastline are very long. You can feed seagulls at the "Centennial Memorial City Sculpture". Lingjiao Bay, Fisherman's Wharf Go to Lingjiao Bay in the afternoon to take photos of the European-style buildings opposite Fisherman's Wharf. Fishing boats occasionally enter the port, and a group of seagulls fly after the fishing boats, which is very romantic. Then go to Fisherman's Wharf in the evening, wait for the sunset to dye the sky red, and wait for the lighthouse to light up. Everything becomes extremely gentle. Zhongshan Square It is really prosperous, with food and drink nearby. European-style old buildings coexist with modern high-rise buildings. The black clock here is very suitable for taking photos, and the night is also very gorgeous. Tram 201 Experience the history of Dalian's trams. The places you pass by are all prosperous areas.

The Temple Healing Program features the Songshan Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient Tang Dynasty temple in Dalian. There is no end to suffering; turning back is the shore.

Although it is not a large temple, it is an ancient Buddhist temple with a considerable history. Entering through the main gate, the central courtyard houses the Heavenly King Hall, with the Four Heavenly Kings enshrined within. To the east is a five-story 'pagoda' built in imitation Tang style.
