Hey!
As a senior who once studied at Dalian University, let me share my experience and answer your questions.
First of all, I have to say that the transportation is very convenient!
If you live near campus, you can walk or bike to the surrounding business district, or take buses to the city center.
If you need to go to the train station or the airport, there are also direct bus lines.
So, transportation is definitely not a problem.
So, is there any fun place?
Of course!
There are many attractions and entertainment venues around Dalian University, allowing you to relax and unwind after studying.
First of all, I would like to recommend Jinshitan Scenic Area.
This is one of the most famous beaches in Dalian City, with beautiful coastline and golden sand, making it a great place for swimming, surfing and sunbathing.
The second recommendation is Dalian Jinzhou Forest Park.
This is a large wildlife park with hundreds of species of animals and plants.
You can see monkeys, pandas, tigers, birds, etc., and you can also take a small train tour in the park.
If you like animals, you must not miss this place!
Finally, I want to mention Jinzhou Old Street.
This is a well-preserved ancient street in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with traditional architecture and a unique commercial atmosphere. You can taste local specialties and buy souvenirs.
Therefore, the area around Dalian University is definitely a great place with convenient transportation and numerous attractions that can meet your various needs.
If you haven't been here yet, come quickly!
I believe you will fall in love with this beautiful city.
