The Lianhuashan Observation Deck in Dalian Forest Zoo is definitely a great place for monkeys to stay! Not only can you overlook the entire zoo, but you can also see the Xinghai Bay Cross-sea Bridge. It is recommended to go in the afternoon when the sun is shining and the animals are "open for business". Remember to bring binoculars, otherwise you may mistake the monkeys in the distance for staff. The wind is strong on the top of the mountain, so be careful not to let your hat blow away, otherwise you will have to compete with the giraffe to see whose neck is longer!
Overlooking the sea view, it's refreshing. The top of the mountain is super cool! It only takes half an hour to take the bus to the middle of the mountain and hike to the top of the mountain. It is not recommended to take the train. There are many students selling Mixue Ice City lemonade halfway up the mountain, which is pretty good.

Dalian Haichang Discoveryland Theme Park is a thrilling adventure that blends fantasy, excitement, and scenic beauty by the sea! With its imaginative themed zones—from mysterious castles to pirate bays—it offers something for everyone, from adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to family-friendly rides and magical shows. The park is beautifully designed, clean, and well-maintained, making each step feel like you’re in a storybook. Don't miss it.
The experience of Dalian Discovery Kingdom exceeded expectations! As soon as I entered the door, I was amazed by the fairy tale castle, and the children were so happy to chase the parade floats. Roller coaster enthusiasts must go for the "Thunder Chariot" - the whole adrenaline surges, and the screams are deafening when you dive upside down, but the two-hour queue experience is a bit overwhelming. The night light show is beautiful, and the light and shadow projected on the castle are like a magical world. The audience cheered when the fireworks were the finale. The facilities in the parent-child area are gentle, but some equipment buttons are not very sensitive. The 68-yuan theme hamburger set meal is high in appearance and tastes ordinary. It is recommended to bring your own snacks. The overall atmosphere is joyful, and it is definitely worth the ticket price to avoid the weekend crowds!

Going in the evening, then the zoo ticket can be exempted from taking the Ferris wheel directly, and then go down. It is only about 20 minutes or slow. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the cross-sea bridge. If you are really late, you can catch up with the light show. Then the facilities inside are very good. This Ferris wheel is very new at first glance. The heating sofa is also very advanced. The only drawback is that the parking fee is more expensive. In fact, it only costs 10 yuan a day after 15 minutes, but it takes only 20 minutes to take the Ferris wheel. So it is very meaningful to me that it is not cost-effective. It is a good recommendation for a trip.
You can choose not to enter the zoo and only experience this Ferris wheel, and there is a young lady to pick you up. The Ferris wheel is generally high, the operation is very stable, the air conditioner is very open, and two bottles of water are sent before entering the warehouse. After the operation, the mobile phone can be connected to the cabin Bluetooth, playing music to see the sea view, very holiday style.

It is a big square with a children's playground. You can walk all the way to Venice Water City and enjoy the sunset at the seaside. The opening time of the music fountain is changed to 8 o'clock on weekdays, and there are two performances starting at 7:30 on weekends.
The perfect combination of music and fountains embodies both strength and tenderness. It starts at 7:30 p.m., so you can go there in the evening to see the sea, feed the seagulls, and enjoy the sunset. You can also ride bicycles with your family, which is a great place to relax.
