The key stops are already surfaced for you.
Fresh highlights pulled from the template so you can browse the shape of the trip before opening it.
Must visit
大连星海广场
Start early for wide-open sea views and classic skyline photos along the Xinghai seafront. The open plaza can feel breezy even on warm days.
Must visit
Bangchui Island Scenic Area （West Gate）
A coastal nature escape with sea cliffs, beach scenery, and forested paths outside the city center. Go early and allow extra time for entry-area transfers and walking from the gate.
Must visit
Fisherman Pier
An easy sunset stop for harbor views, casual strolling, and a relaxed evening vibe by the water. It cools down quickly after dark, so bring a layer.
Must visit
Laohutan Scenic Attraction
A major family-friendly coastal attraction combining ocean views with popular marine exhibits. Prebook and arrive near opening to reduce queue time.
Must visit
Lianhuashan Viewing Platform
A compact viewpoint for big panoramas over the city and coast, especially close to sunset. Check opening hours if you plan a late visit and dress for wind.
Must visit
Zhongshan Square
A central landmark surrounded by historic architecture that feels especially lively in the evening when lights come on. It’s an easy add-on between city sights and the waterfront.
