Day 1: Living by the sea

In the morning, we set off eagerly early in the morning, bathing in the warmth of the morning sun. Along the seaside road, we drove all the way to Golden Pebble Beach. The golden beach was as dazzling as the gold of the ocean.

I stepped on the beach excitedly and felt the embrace of the sea breeze. After paying 30 yuan for the ticket, I think the tranquility and vastness are priceless.

At noon, we came to Laohu Beach. I would like to introduce Laohu Beach:

Laohu Beach is famous for its spectacular sea view. The wide sandy beach and clear water attract people. Countless tourists come.

You can stroll on the soft sandy beach and enjoy the sea breeze on your face. You can also swim to your heart's content or participate in various water activities such as sailing, surfing and diving. Not only that, the sunrise and sunset of Tiger Beach are intoxicating, making it the best shooting spot for photographers and couples.

In addition, there are many restaurants, shops and entertainment facilities in Laohutan for tourists to enjoy food and shopping. You can taste fresh seafood and buy souvenirs and handicrafts to enrich your travel experience.

The uniqueness of Laohutan lies in its natural ecological environment. The nearby area is rich in marine life and vegetation, making it a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers. You can enjoy a variety of rare birds and marine life here and experience the charm of nature. I tried sailing, and the feeling of speed and flying was unforgettable.

For lunch, I ordered a seafood chowder at a small seafood restaurant. It was colorful and delicious. It only cost 50 yuan per person, which was definitely worth the money.

In the evening, we came to the open-air cafe on the beach. While drinking coffee, we watched the sunset and felt that time was frozen in this moment. For dinner, I tried the scallops from a seafood barbecue stall. They were tender and juicy, which made me even more fascinated by Dalian’s seafood.

On the first day of the trip to the sea, I deeply realized the unique beauty of Dalian. The vastness of Golden Pebble Beach, the excitement of Tiger Beach, and the delicious seafood all make me look forward to the next adventure. This day cost about 130 yuan, but it brought me priceless happiness and satisfaction.

Day Two: City Exploration Trip

In the morning, the second day’s sunshine poured into the room through the curtains, awakening my curiosity about the city. We explored all the way along Lovers' Road and came to Xinghai Square first. The heart of this city was already bustling with activity.

Walking in the square, you can feel the pulse of the city. I couldn't help but take out my camera and record this vitality.

At noon, we tasted authentic spicy fried rice cakes in a restaurant in an alley. The spicy taste seemed to ignite my desire for food. While eating and chatting, I listened to the laughter of my friends and felt that life was really beautiful.

In the afternoon, we came to Dalian Old Street and strolled there, as if we were walking into an ancient painting. The bluestone roads and dilapidated tile-roofed houses all exude the traces of time. Sipping the aroma of tea in an ancient teahouse, I seemed to have traveled back a hundred years.

In the evening, we went to the Russian Style Street. Under the neon lights, we felt like we were in a foreign country. In a Russian restaurant, I ordered a Russian barbecue. The meat was tender and juicy, which made me have endless aftertaste.

This charming street is famous for its colorful buildings, traditional Russian handicraft markets and colorful cultural performances. Here you can enjoy traditional Russian dances, music performances and displays of Russian folk art. In addition, there are many food stalls selling Russian specialties on the street. You can taste delicious Russian pastries, bread and Russian stews.

The architectural style here is unique and full of strong Russian elements, including colorful onion heads and exquisite murals. Visitors can stroll here and feel the romance and mystery of Russia.

Russian Style Street is also a shopper's paradise, with many shops selling traditional Russian handicrafts, textiles, jewelry and Russian dolls. There is a wide variety of products available, perfect for buying souvenirs or gifts.

In short, Russian Style Street is famous for its unique cultural atmosphere, unique architecture and colorful activities. It is a tourist attraction not to be missed, making tourists feel like they are in a Russian fairy tale world , fully experience the characteristics and charm of Russia.

The cost of this day is not high, about 300 yuan. However, those delicacies and those corners have been deeply imprinted in my heart. This city not only has a prosperous appearance, but also has a rich history and human touch.

I know that this exploration is just the beginning, and there are so many beautiful things waiting for me to discover in Dalian.

The third day: the encounter between nature and hot springs

In the morning, the sun filled the land of Dalian, and we ushered in this new day full of expectations. Today’s itinerary was full of natural encounters.

First of all, we came to the Forest Zoo. The ticket is 50 yuan per person, which is affordable and worth it. Walking in the fresh environment, it feels like you have established a tacit understanding with the animals. The giant pandas are so naive and the giraffes walk by gracefully, making people feel happy every moment.

At noon, we had a home-cooked meal at a nearby farmhouse. The dining environment was simple, but the taste was extremely delicious. It cost less than 30 yuan per person. In the busy urban life, this simple meal makes people feel the long-lost tranquility.

In the afternoon, we arrived at Dalian Hot Spring Resort. The hot spring ticket price is 120 yuan. Although it is a little expensive, once you enter the embrace of the hot spring, all fatigue disappears. The hot spring water slid over my skin, soothing me from the fatigue of the journey and rejuvenating me.

In the evening, we chose a nearby seafood restaurant, which cost about 150 yuan per person. Fresh seafood fills the table, and the signature grilled abalone is the ultimate delicacy. Accompanied by the sea breeze, we enjoyed a delicious dinner, as if we were integrated into the embrace of this coast.

Recalling these three days of self-driving travel, my heart is filled with emotion. The beautiful scenery of Dalian and the tempting temptation of delicious food make me feel the richness and variety of life in every moment.

This trip was not only an exploration of Dalian, but also a profound encounter with nature, food, and life. It makes me more convinced that travel is not only a physical journey, but also an enlightenment for the soul.
