Sir, let me answer your question!
First of all, it depends on which station you depart from in Shenyang, because Shenyang has North Station and Shenyang Station (which is the original Shenyang South Station). If you go from the North Station, take the bus around 7:50 in the morning, and then take the bus at noon
You can get to Dandong around 12 o'clock (because the bus is sometimes late), or you can take the bus that leaves after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the bus that leaves after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. You arrive in Dandong around 8 o'clock in the evening. I suggest you take the morning bus.
.
If the poster is taking the bus from South Railway Station, I only know that there is a bus at around 3 am and it will arrive in Dandong around 7 am.
Now the train fare has increased, it costs about 30 yuan per ticket.
(I haven’t taken a train for a long time. If I have a student ID, the Huyue bus is half-price, so I always take that bus. The full price of the Huyue bus is about 70 yuan.) Secondly, when you go to Phoenix Mountain, you can go to
At the passenger terminal in front of the station, there is a special bus to Fengcheng City. When the time comes, you can tell the driver that you can go to the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. The fare seems to be 8 yuan.
The ticket price for Phoenix Mountain was 60 yuan when I went there. I don’t know how much it is now.
If the poster wants to live for about 100 yuan, then go to Dantie (right next to the train station.)!
It seems like there are special rooms every day for 100 yuan.
If you don't want to live there, go to Zhonglian Food City. There is a community. The second floor of that community is full of relatively clean hotels, and the environment is quite good. The price is between 40-70.
Secondly, the poster said that if you go to the Yalu River the next day, the boat ride usually costs about 15 yuan, but sometimes it costs 10 yuan, which is mainly based on bargaining. If there are many people, they will agree to 5 yuan.
.
I think there are a lot of delicious things in Dandong. It depends on what the poster likes to eat. For example, Xinliu Pedestrian Street is a place for eating and snacks.
.
For seafood, go to the seafood street near Badaju. For stir-fries, there are many places.
For barbecue, there are more, for example, Taibai BBQ, and there is one over there in No. 6 Middle School called Wan Fulian.
(I forgot what it was called specifically, but it was called Wanfu or something like that).
As for souvenirs, there really aren’t many. They are usually North Korean coins. If you want to buy them, go to the "Hualian" on the right side of the train and across the street.
Now it seems to have been changed to "border" or something. Anyway, you can see it at a glance.
Dandong's specialties... I think "rhubarb clams" are pretty good, as well as "fried rice dumplings" and so on.

Too much.
I hope the original poster will have fun when he goes to Dandong..
