Dalian Self-Drive | Blues is the ultimate romance of the coastal city

On sunny days, the sea in Dalian is really so blue that it's stunning But the blue hour at sunset is also very unforgettable When you come to Dalian, in addition to seeing the sea, don't forget to visit these two viewing platforms! There are two famous viewing platforms in Dalian's urban area They are "Lotus Mountain Viewing Platform" and "The Best Viewing Point of Xinghai Bay Bridge" 🌟Lotus Mountain Viewing Platform It is the highest peak in Dalian, with an altitude of 259.6 meters. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire city. The whole viewing platform allows for 360-degree views, but the area of the white tower viewing platform at the highest point requires an additional ticket to enter, 20 yuan per person. Personally, I think the difference in view is not very big, but I still recommend buying a ticket to go up during holidays, as there will be slightly fewer people than below There are three ways to reach the viewing platform, which are 🚠Take the cable car up the mountain 🚗Drive to the middle of the mountain and then 🚶‍♀️walk or 🚌take the sightseeing bus up 🚶‍♀️Walking is about 800 meters. Remember to go up the mountain before evening and stay until it gets dark! The sunset time is the essence of this place! That day when we reached the viewing platform, a heavy fog suddenly set in, and the visibility was very low. I thought we wouldn't be able to see the sunset and the afterglow, but in the end, it gave us a big surprise‼️ There was a pink-purple afterglow, and it lasted for a long time! 🌟The Best Viewing Point of Xinghai Bay Bridge You can navigate directly by car to 📍the south gate of the Forest Zoo. The entrance is also the starting station of the bus hub, so there are a lot of people and cars, and traffic jams are severe on holidays! Although it's difficult to reach, it's really worth a visit. Apart from aerial photography, there is no better angle to shoot the Xinghai Bay Bridge than from here 🌄But this angle is only suitable for shooting the bridge, not the sunset, so you can also wait for the bridge lights to turn on after the blue hour, the night view is also very beautiful!
