Places to explore in Dalian
Jinshitan
金石滩
Jinshitan’s coast, rocks and beaches form a seaside visitor area. Rock layers and marine erosion formations distinguish it from an ordinary beach destination. The coastal area is extensive, so focus on geological scenery or beach relaxation. Reference photographs emphasize rocks and coastal paths, not all resort facilities and leisure activities.
Laohutan Ocean Park
老虎滩海洋公园
Laohutan Ocean Park focuses on marine-life displays, educational venues and a seaside setting. The Polar Pavilion, Coral Pavilion and other venues have distinct themes. Confirm your ticket and open venues before choosing visits according to your interests. Images are historical references to buildings and displays; they do not promise that pictured animals, performances or facilities are currently on display.
