The Wafangdian City Museum is located at No. 8, Section 1, Nan Gongji Street, Wafangdian City. The museum was established on August 18, 1984. At that time, it was named 'Fuxian Museum'. The following year, with the county being replaced by a city, Fuxian Museum was renamed Wafangdian City Museum. In August 1992, the 'Old Site of Wafangdian City' was restored and completed, and the museum moved into the old site where it remains to this day. In September 1994, the Wafangdian City Museum was named 'Dalian City Patriotic Education Base' by the CCP Dalian Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government. The 'Old Site of Wafangdian City' is the origin of the place name 'Wafangdian'. Since the early last century, after the Middle East Railway used 'Wafangdian' as the station name, the three characters of 'Wafangdian' gradually became known to the world. However, the original site was demolished due to the expansion of Gongji Street. In 1985, the Wafangdian City government announced this site as a county-level cultural relics protection unit and later allocated funds to restore it in its original location according to Qing-style architecture.

A magnificent spectacle carved by nature Dalian's surrounding self-driving tour destinations, natural landscapes always make people marvel at the magical power of nature. Although the 'Table Leg' landscape, which has been featured on the cover of 'China National Geography', has collapsed, it is still very worth visiting to check in. The attractions are summarized into three places: Paishi Scenic Area (Picture 6 where a row of reefs extends into the sea) This is where most people are, probably everyone is coming for this spot, but it doesn't look as spectacular as it is photographed. Seaside Tianmen (Picture 3) is on the right side of the Paishi Scenic Area by the sea, and it's very photogenic Xiao Paishi ('Buddhist Scripture Rock' 'Thousand Layer Wall' marine erosion landform) is the most recommended of the three attractions by myself. Under the combined effects of marine erosion, wind, and the freeze-thaw of sea ice in winter, the coast here has been carved into something quite unique. Although the 'Table Leg' has collapsed, the overall marine erosion landform is still very spectacular. Be sure to go at low tide, get a good grasp of the tide forecast in advance, so you will see the entire kilometer-long stone wall coast, enjoy the stones and take photos, and you can also catch seafood, there are many small crabs, hermit crabs here. Location: Paishi Village Paishi Scenic Area, Xiaopaishi Scenic Area in Wafangdian, Dalian City (search for Haoyu Farmhouse on navigation, turn in and take the left fork)

The sea has all turned into ice As far as the eye can see, it's all white snow I admit that I can't capture its beauty and the shock it brings to me Waiting for the sunset to slowly dye the sky red and pink Isn't this the Icelandic world of our China Definitely not a substitute version of anyone!! Rows of reefs extend into the sea in an arc The rocks by the sea have been eroded by seawater for billions of years Becoming the most unique geological spectacle The magic of nature is really amazing! — 📍: Rock Formation Scenery 🎫: Free 🚘: 2h drive from Dalian The wind is strong on the cliff, please don't stand on the edge of the cliff, otherwise you might be blown off, it's very cold, but seeing all this really feels worth it!! After taking the photos, please go down the mountain as soon as possible, don't wait until it's completely dark! Pay attention to safety! The car can be driven directly to the destination, from Dalian, there is only one gas station nearby after getting off the highway, please fill up before you leave. You can go down under the reefs, but we went too late and didn't have time, so we quickly took the photos and left.
