There are so many people. If you have been to the Forbidden City in Beijing, this place is indeed much smaller. There are also many filming locations. It is rare to encounter thunderstorms. Many places are under renovation and there is a pungent smell.
The Shenyang Palace Museum, an imperial palace from the early Qing Dynasty, is one of China's only two remaining palace complexes. Its architectural style blends the characteristics of Han, Manchu, and Mongolian ethnic groups, with magnificent buildings such as the Da Zheng Hall and the Phoenix Tower. The museum houses a rich collection of cultural relics, including treasures from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Visitors cite its high historical and cultural value, making it a popular spot for photo opportunities. The convenient location and comprehensive amenities make it a popular destination for families, couples, and everyone in between.

The Marshal's Mansion is indeed quite spectacular from the outside, but there are too many people. It is so crowded that people can't even walk. I hope the scenic spot can limit the sales time when selling tickets, instead of pausing and limiting the flow of people after everyone buys tickets and enters the park.
The environment is nice, especially Zhang Xueliang's personal collection room, which is quite tasteful. Is it just that I came at the wrong time? There are too many people and the service is not good. It is understandable.

It's not very big, and the facilities are a bit old, especially the lights of many display tanks. But the overall play experience is still good, especially if you bring your children to play for half a day, especially the view of Fisherman's Wharf in the park is very photogenic
Come to Tiger Beach Ocean Park, you must see the dolphin show! The little guys jumped high and neat, and they clapped with the audience, and the cheers in the field never stopped. The penguins in the polar hall twisted and twisted, and the polar bears were lying on the ice in a daze, super cute. The coral hall is like an undersea garden, with various corals and tropical fish, and your eyes can't see it. Tired of playing, sit on the beach bench for a while, and eat a sausage with the sea breeze, which is beautiful all day.

I bought an annual pass so my family could come together. The kids loved it, and the adults were able to have fun too. It was packed, the parking lot was large, and getting around was convenient. The facilities were comprehensive, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Renting a car would have been even more convenient. There were also many activities. It was a great experience for both adults and children to have a great time.
Good good ...

Enter from the north gate, take the cable car, then visit the free-range area and take a Ferris wheel. I especially recommend the Ferris wheel because it has air conditioning and is not hot at all. It also provides water and you can watch the Sky Crossing Bridge.
📍Dalian Forest Zoo
——Animals are in the forest, and the forest is by the sea
This zoo by the sea is very big, and it feels bigger than Chimelong. Although the ticket is more than 100 yuan, I was disappointed with the enclosure area at first, but I went to the free-range area later, which was very good. There were fat tigers and fat black bears all over the mountain~ But it was a bit late to go to the panda house, and the Dalian Three Treasures (Liu Yifei of the panda world - Feiyun, Jinhu, Miaoyin) were all asleep💤~

The total visit lasted about three hours (including finding the way, taking photos, and walking out of the park).
The water was crystal clear!! There were so many small animals!!
Hai Zhi Yun really took my feet off. The hike was hot and tiring. While the water was clear, the beach was small and crowded. I highly recommend Bangchuidao over Hai Zhi Yun! It's the most beautiful beach I've ever seen in Dalian. You can grab a mat and lie on the beach, enjoying the breeze, the sound of the waves and the chirping of seagulls, and the sun. It's so relaxing.
The beach of Bangyu Island is like sprinkled silver! The sand is thin and soft, and it is not awkward to walk barefoot. The sea is clear enough to see the small stones at the bottom of the water, and the Bangyu Island in the distance is like an emerald. There are pine trees on the shore, tired to rest in the shade of the trees. Many people set up tents and picnics here, and the atmosphere is particularly pleasant. In the evening, when the tide is low, you can pick up small conch, small crabs, and bring your baby to play for an afternoon, and you don't want to leave.

When traveling around the country, provincial museums are a must-do. Every time, I will ask for a manual explanation. Today, Mr. Jiang, the tour guide at Liaoning Museum, is the best tour guide I have ever experienced. His rich historical knowledge, humorous language style, and in-depth and wonderful explanations have added a lot of fun and aftertaste to our trip to Shenyang. Very satisfied

Very good! I had a lot of fun. I heard that it has been many years, but the facilities inside are still quite new. The program time of each hall is also arranged very smoothly and can be seamlessly connected.
The underwater tunnel of Dalian Shengya Oceanarium is amazing! Standing on the conveyor belt, there are fish all over the head and on both sides. Sharks swim over the head, which makes people scream. The beluga whale performance is very gentle, and it is like a spoiled child when interacting with the trainer. The lights in the jellyfish hall change, and the jellyfish float in the water like transparent umbrellas. There are fewer people than Laohutan, so you can take your time to watch. After the tour, my mind is still full of the shadows of marine life.

Xinghai Park is definitely worth punching in! The sea view here is superb, the blue sky and blue sea are fun. The amusement projects are super rich, the sea bungee jumping is super exciting, the Ferris wheel can enjoy the panoramic view, and the beach can play in the water. Whether it is a parent-child, a couple or a holiday, you can have fun.
The boss of Dalian has a special love for Xinghai Park. When I was a child, every summer, I went to Xinghai Park to swim was the happiest thing. At that time, there was no Xinghai Bay Bridge, and Xinghai Park was almost a wasteland.

The water cave is definitely worth visiting. In July 2025, the high-speed rail will arrive at Benxi Station. There will be a minibus at the exit. It costs 10.5 yuan to get to the water cave. Get off and walk through the parking lot. Buy a ticket and take a sightseeing bus directly to the water cave (some people say that it is not necessary to take a sightseeing bus. It is best for the elderly to take it on hot days. Don't throw the paper ticket back and take it to the Geological Museum). After entering the cave, the elderly wear coats and trousers, and those who are afraid of cold wear thicker clothes. It will be cold when taking a boat. It costs 30 yuan to rent a cotton-padded jacket inside. Be careful not to bump into each other when walking a short section of the dry cave. There are 10 people in a boat and there are guides. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. The journey is quite long. It is a round trip. Mobile phone photos and videos are more beautiful than what you see with your eyes. The high places in the cave are empty, and you have to bow your head in the low places. The stalactites are of different shapes. The seven-color lights are colorful, and it feels worthwhile. As for whether other landscapes are worth playing, it depends on the person. The exit is at the queue of the sightseeing bus. There are large and small buses going back, or you can go to Xiaoshi Yizhuang to have a look. The ticket is 5 yuan. According to the driver, the bridge is under repair at this time every year, which causes traffic jams, so it would be better to come early in the morning.
The water cave is beautiful! I just suggest that you must wear a coat if you bring children here to avoid catching a cold. The petrified wood is also very unique! It's not tiring to walk around. The Geological Museum does not have central air conditioning, and some places have vertical air conditioning and fans for cooling.
The whole process of the water cave was recorded, but no photos were taken.
