Dalian’s Fisherman Pier
Dalian is one of my favorite cities in China.
This city is very walkable and has so much to offer.
Fisherman pier is one of the most popular locations in Dalian. Enjoy a nice little stroll and above all, the view. If you’ve ever been to Lunemberg in Nova-Scotia 🇨🇦, this place has the same vibe.
Have fun!

Laodong Park in Dalian's Downtown
Dalian is a coastal city in Liaoning province. It's famous for the beaches and seafood. Most people go for the food and coast scenery.
We stayed for three Days in Dalian. A nice green park was Laodong Park in Dalian's Downtown. You can climb a mountain (or take the cable car), visit the small amusement park, try Dongbei snacks and just relax with a tea.
📍 Laodong Park in Dalian. Chinese name: 劳动公园
You can reach the park by bus and taxi. The subway doesn't stop there very directly.
🎟️ Entrance is free, but you have to pay for cablecar and other activities.

Red Beach in Panjin - China
Red Beach in Panjin, China - Sand is probably the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the beach. However, this is not the case with the Panjin Red Beach in China, which is, actually, red, and not covered in sand at all. Such a phenomenon is caused by a type of red plant called Sueda. It starts growing during April and May, then stays green during the summer, but starts turning vividly red in autumn.
To keep the beautiful nature and its inhabitants safe, the area was granted state-level protection back in 1988. Even though most of the Red Beach is closed to the public, there still is a small section that works as a tourist attraction.

A glimpse of North Korea from China
Dandong, Liaoning is the main border crossing between China and North Korea.
A popular attraction is the broken bridge, bombed on the Korean side by the United States during the Korean War. You can walk to the end of what's left and gaze across to Sinujiu in the Hermit Kingdom. A river cruise is another way to get a good view of the Korean side.
Dandong was also the end of the Great Wall of China during the Ming Dynasty. The heavily restored wall is another excellent place to look into Korea, as it's close to the modern border.
Though the border is currently closed due to Covid, organized tours of North Korea ordinarily leave from Dandong, including day tours of Sinujiu and train journeys to Pyongyang.

This is the closest we can get to North Korea
We visited Dandong just to have a glimpse of North Korea. It was great experience and both countries we separated by the Yalu river which is not very wide is some areas, especially near Tiger Hill Great Wall. You can practically see North Koreans walking and working in their farm. This is definitely one of the most special places i have ever visited. ##dongbei #dandong #great wall #yaluriver #china #history #liaoning

The beautiful city of Dalian
Dalian is a great city to go in the north of China. So many beautiful buildings and delicious food!!! There are also not as many tourists as other big cities, so this is a great place to relax. The people are really friendly and it’s a cheaper city than many of the other big cities of China #dalian #liaoning #instatravel
Dalian can also serve as a base as you explore more of Liaoning, like going to the China-North Korean border.
The Hushan Great Wall (虎山长城) is truly an amazing place at Dandong, Liaoning, China. I really like it and I'm glad to visit it. It's great to see the border line between North Korea and Dandong (China). Your mistake may cause you a lot of trouble, so there are so many bulletin boards warning you. I really feel amazing, it's worth visiting in the summer. I took a Didi taxi to get there. It is very convenient. I hope you can visit and enjoy it.

Liaoning trip
It’s been a long time since I last travelled. I decided to visit my hometown after 5 years. The Covid 19 measures were so much less stringent, no quarantine at all but simply fill up health declaration by scanning QR code using WeChat at custom. The food is still awesome. The end April to start of may has a great temperature ranging from 4 to 20 degree c. The fashionable goods is definitely a good buy.#mytripvlog #china #hometown #liaoning #shenyang
