🌊Just finished my trip to Dalian, where local friends knew I came to see the sea, so they recommended a national geological park located in the southeast of Dalian, the Dalian Jinshitan Coastal National Geological Park. ✨After going there, I found that it truly satisfied my boundless yearning for the sea, as well as the natural landscape of peculiar peaks and rocks, the cliff walkway built along the coast, and the magnificent scene of the waves crashing. ⛰️Dalian Jinshitan Coastal National Geological Park is also called the 'Divine Sculpture Park'. Walking along the wooden walkway on the coastline, you will see various strange rocks placed in the sea. From Dinosaur Exploring the Sea, General's Tears, Crab General Exiting the Cave, Roc Spreading Wings, Hedgehog Foraging, Thousand-Layer Rock, etc., although all are naturally formed by the environment and time, the names given to them by people's boundless imagination are somewhat apt and vivid. 🐢One of the only two turtle-back stones in the world is located in the Aotan Garden of the geological park. This 'Number One Strange Stone' has clear textures, is reddish-brown, and the crevices between the cracks are as if outlined with lime, resembling a huge turtle back obliquely inserted into the sand. ☁️The only regret is that the weather was slightly less than ideal, but since I'm here, I might as well enjoy it, and I found the beauty of a cloudy day to be quite nice. Still, I recommend everyone to come on a sunny afternoon, until sunset, which is the best time to visit. The picture of the sunset, clouds, and sea blending together is really super healing. 📝Travel Tips ▪︎After finishing the area of the Thousand-Layer Cake, the suspension bridge connecting to the next area is under maintenance, so there is a shuttle bus in the scenic area to Aotan Garden, about every 20 minutes; ▪︎Since the scenic area is along the coast, the sea breeze is very strong, so be sure to windproof, and if it's a sunny day, take sun protection measures; ▪︎It takes 1.5-2 hours to walk through the entire park, and if you want to stay longer, bring enough dry food and drinking water; ▪︎For self-driving, just navigate directly to the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area; ▪︎After purchasing tickets online, they will be valid for use after 2 hours; 📍Inside the Jinshitan National Tourist Resort, Dalian City, Liaoning Province 🚇Take Metro Line 3 to Jinshitan Station, then take a taxi OR a sightseeing bus (20 yuan) 🕰️8:30-16:00 💰Admission fee 40 yuan

💞Reasons to Recommend: Indeed. In Dalian! The sea here has a beauty that doesn't seem like it's in China. Although there are many places to view the sea in Dalian city, the crowds during holidays are really overwhelming! If you, like me, couldn't find a parking spot at Haizhiyun and had to give up on visiting, then come here instead! You won't be disappointed, only pleasantly surprised. Indeed. It's only an hour's drive from the city center to Jinshitan Tourist Resort. Although it's a man-made development, it was built based on the original natural scenery. When you come to Jinshitan, you can skip the crowded Golden Coast beach, but the Jinshitan Geological Park is definitely worth a visit. It's less crowded and great for photos! Jinshitan Geological Park, also known as Dalian Coastal National Geological Park, boasts many natural landscapes along its extensive coastline. It features five major scenic areas and nearly a hundred attractions, earning it the reputation of a "Natural Geological Museum." The touring methods are: walking, bus, and speedboat. The most recommended way is to walk. The entire trail is built along the coastline. Although there are many steps, the overall route is much easier than a lightweight hike. Most people can handle it easily. It's not recommended to spend extra money on the speedboat, which lasts only a few minutes. It's better to walk, take photos, and enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace. The views along the way feel very natural and beautiful. Some beaches are accessible and look great from above, giving a feeling of being on an overseas island! 📍 Address: Dalian jinshitan waterfront park Dalian Coastal National Geological Park 60RMB/person Sightseeing bus 20 RMB/person Speedboat one-way 100 RMB, round-trip 120 RMB The resort area offers a variety of accommodations and complete facilities like restaurants.
