Benxi Water Cave is located in Benxi City, Liaoning Province. It is a large water-filled cave formed hundreds of thousands of years ago. It is the longest underground river in the world that can be visited by boat. The entire Attraction is composed of water caves, geological Attraction, Tiesha Mountain and Miaohou Mountain, which are distributed in a belt along the Taizi River. Tourists come here mainly to visit the water caves and museums. The water cave is divided into two caves, the water cave and the dry cave, with many stalactites of various shapes. You need to go boating to visit the water cave. The entrance of Benxi Water Cave faces south and north, and the entrance is half-moon-shaped. Above the entrance is written the four big characters "Benxi Water Cave". Entering the entrance is the "reception hall", which is very large and can accommodate thousands of people. From the hall to the right is a 300-meter-long dry cave, which is staggered and has caves in the cave. On the top and rock walls of the cave, you can see many stalactites of various shapes, such as ancient wells, dragon pools, and Baibu Pools. At the end of the dry cave is a clear pool, which is bottomless and the water vapor coming up is very cold. After exiting the cave and returning to the lobby, there is a pier leading to the water cave in front of the lobby. The water surface here is very large and can accommodate 40 cruise ships. Under the illumination of the Souvenir lights, it is like a quiet and unique harbor. Tourists walk down the steps from the revetment stone, get on the boat from the pier through the corridor, and start to swim in the water cave. There are many scenes formed by stalactites of various shapes in the whole water cave. Along the way, you can see stalactites such as Baolian Lantern, Yitian Long Sword, Crocodile Head, Corn Tower, One-horned Rhino, Spring Bamboo Shoots, Leaning Tower, Elephant, Snow Mountain, etc. on both sides of the river. In particular, the three scenes of Corn Tower, Jade Elephant and Snow Mountain are in line with their names and are almost real. In addition to the stalactites on both sides of the river, the stalagmites are picturesque and in various shapes, there are also stalactites hanging high on the top of the cave, which are very crystal and colorful, full of fun. The whole journey takes about 20 minutes. After visiting the water cave, you can visit the nearby Benxi Geological Museum, where you can learn about the main geological changes from the birth of the earth to the present. The museum also displays many precious samples of geological relics and prehistoric relics in the scenic Attraction, which are of great viewing value. There is only one restaurant in the Dining Attraction- Shuidong Juxianlou Hotel. Dining here is expensive, so it is recommended that tourists bring their own food.

The scenic area was fantastic! I explored two different routes. The shuttle bus service was excellent and very convenient; it's free after you buy your ticket. The tour guides were also very responsible, reminding me of weather changes and recommended tour times. Thumbs up! I would definitely recommend the shuttle bus service to other friends.

Overall, it's pretty good. Once you get there, you can rent a car. I didn't know how to drive at first, but with my years of driving experience, I learned quickly. This saves energy. You can download an app, locate yourself, and check out the attractions and waiting times. Boys might like the Dinosaur Extinction attraction, as well as some thrilling rides. Some attractions require separate fees, such as the Ice and Snow World and the Petting Zoo!

Choosing this hotel for my Beidaihe vacation was such a pleasant surprise! The hotel environment was clean and quiet, the rooms were meticulously cleaned with no unpleasant odors. The facilities were complete and functional, the bedding was comfortable, and the front desk service was gentle and attentive. For this price, the quality is exceptional, making it a fantastic value. Ladies coming to the beach can definitely book with confidence!

We took our kids back to China for summer vacation and had our first experience at a Northeastern Chinese bathhouse. We absolutely loved all the facilities and services. Children under 1.4 meters tall get in for free, making it incredibly good value for money. If we have the chance, we'll definitely bring our family and friends to experience this top-tier bathhouse in China!

Bangchui Island in Dalian was once a summer resort, but now only clear waters and strange rocks remain; the tide embraces the golden sands, the forests are filled with birdsong, and a leisurely stroll is like entering a painting. Climbing the wooden boardwalk on the mountainside offers even more beautiful views.

Overall, it's alright. If you get up early, you can walk from the scenic area gate to Bijia Mountain at low tide; at high tide, you can take a speedboat. Once you reach Bijia Mountain, you need to hike, and it's not far to Sanqing Pavilion. Climbing Sanqing Pavilion requires walking uphill, passing through Pangu Square.

Benxi Water Cave is the most beautiful karst cave I've ever seen. The stalactites and stalagmites inside are diverse in style—some majestic, some precipitous, some graceful. Looking at them is truly captivating. However, you can only look; there's not much interaction involved—the entire experience is by boat. The Petrified Wood Geological Park mainly consists of petrified wood fossils, which adds a nice touch to the overall experience of the scenic area.

It's changed a bit since my last visit. It's nice that there are fewer people during the off-season. There's no need to queue for photos or food. Although the theater has been demolished, the disco stage has been renovated and looks very cool. It should be very lively at night. The daytime and nighttime styles are quite different, and the scenery is still great for taking pictures!

Zhongjie Street is quite long with many side streets, lined with shops and restaurants, and bustling with pedestrians. It seems well worth a visit and is a landmark pedestrian street in Shenyang. It's convenient to get anywhere from Zhongjie Street, but during my few days in Shenyang, I only spent a relatively short time shopping there. I mainly explored other areas outside of Zhongjie Street. It was a bit of a regret that I treated Zhongjie Street primarily as a transportation hub. Next time I visit Shenyang, I'll definitely explore it more. If I hadn't been in a rush, I could have spent more time there. I mainly visited the Forbidden City, Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence, and the Dadong Food Market on Zhongjie Street.

Xinghai Square truly lives up to its reputation as a Dalian landmark, offering a grand and expansive view overlooking the entire azure bay. The giant century-old city sculpture and flocks of white doves are particularly distinctive, making for a delightful evening stroll with the sea breeze. In the distance, the cross-sea bridge and Lotus Hill are framed together, creating a perfect backdrop for photos. The square's spacious walkways are ideal for cycling or leisurely walks, and the sunset paints the sea with breathtaking colors. With comprehensive amenities nearby and a variety of restaurants and attractions, it offers excellent value for money and is a popular destination for both tourists and locals – a must-visit in Dalian.
