01What to see
Dalian: the four places that matter
Ordered the way you should actually visit them, not by fame.
Binhai Road
A 30 km cliff road with viewpoints, beaches and the Bangchuidao area; drive it slowly.
Xinghai Square
One of the largest city squares in the world, with a century-city sculpture and sea views.
Russian Style Street
A rebuilt 1900s trading street; touristy but the architecture is real.
Lushun
A naval port with Russian and Japanese war sites, 45 minutes west.
02Two-day plan
How we would plan your two days
Built around opening times and traffic, not around a list of attractions.
Day 1 · City squares
Zhongshan Square and the old banks, Russian street, Xinghai Square at sunset, seafood at a market restaurant.
Day 2 · Coast road
Binhai Road north to Jinshitan, beach stop, back via Bangchuidao; allow a full day.
Local notes
- The coast road is best on a weekday; weekend traffic crawls in summer.
- Seafood is sold by weight — confirm the price per jin before it is cooked.
- Winter is cold and windy; the city is a summer destination.
03Where to stay
Pick the area first, the hotel second
The wrong district costs you an hour a day in traffic.

Beach resorts, 20 minutes from the centre.

06Questions
Dalian: questions travellers actually ask
When should I visit Dalian?
June to September. Winter is bleak and many coastal places close.
Is Lushun worth it?
For modern Chinese history and the naval sites, yes; otherwise skip.
How do I get around?
A car with a driver for the coast road; trams and metro for the city.
The full guide runs to four pages — in Chinese
Tickets, opening hours, hour-by-hour itineraries and eighteen local questions. Machine translation handles these pages well; send us a screenshot if anything is unclear.
