Personally, I think Qingdao is better because there are many public beaches in Qingdao. There are many places to view the sea from east to west, and the scenery is different in each place. There are few beaches in Dalian open to the public, and there are very few natural beaches. Relatively speaking, the natural scenery is poor.
Recommended seaside attractions in Qingdao: Zhanqiao Park, Coastal Walkway, No. 1 Bathing Beach, Olympic Sailing Base
Recommended seaside attractions in Dalian: Xinghai Square, Xinghai Park, Binhai Avenue< /p>
Dalian Food Recommendations: Dalian’s famous dishes include grilled whole shrimp, steamed lantern abalone, steamed jaji fish, colorful snowflake scallops, Dalian shrimp paste, fried conch, braised seafood family portrait, fried sea intestines, eight immortals (Fresh) Guohai, "Pearl Sea Urchin", "Ducks Holding Sea Cucumbers", "Colorful Butterfly Shrimp", etc.
In addition, Qingdao’s coastline is very winding and the city is uneven, making it not suitable for watching the sunrise. The best place to watch the sunrise is Laoshan Mountain, or it would be good to go to the beach in Badaguan.
Weihai Chengshan Town is located at the easternmost point of the Jiaodong Peninsula, surrounded by sea on three sides and land on one side. It is the deepest point in the entire mainland of China that extends to the ocean. This is the easternmost point of the coastline and the earliest place to see it. The place where the sun rises.
Beijing-Qingdao, EMU, second-class seat fare is 249 yuan, and lasts about 5 hours.
Beijing-Dalian, EMU, second-class seat fare is 261 yuan, lasts 6 hours.
EMU is fast and safe, and the fares to Qingdao and Dalian are about the same.
After the beginning of autumn, you should not go into the water on the beaches in northern areas. First, there is not enough sunlight, and the temperature of the sea water is actually not high. The waves in Qingdao's bathing beaches are also relatively large, so swimming is not recommended. If you definitely want to go, I recommend going to Old Man Shi.
