✅ Colorful House Town:
✨ Enter directly from the North Gate, the brightly colored little houses are like those in Italy, and the retro steam clock in the center is like being in Bern, Switzerland, very European. And there are not many tourists or businesses, both comfortable and photogenic
✨ On the seaside, there are many balconies for sea viewing, where you can see a large castle with blue roofs and white walls in the distance, the princess is home!

✅ Bay:
Walk down the stairs and you're there~ The bay under the sun is really too too too beautiful! The sparkling blue sea, fishing boats of all sizes, seagulls flying by from time to time, and the colorful buildings onshore, you can take a leisurely walk around~

✅ Long Embankment:
At the end of the bay, you can go up to the long embankment, first you'll see the popular gift shop with the white dog house , and the silver ice cream truck next to it is also super chill~ Along the embankment, there are stalls selling seafood, barbecue, very lively with a sense of life. Because the embankment is a bit higher, it's also a great spot for taking panoramic photos

After visiting the Fisherman's Wharf, you can go directly to Lijiao Bay, it's recommended to take a taxi, the distance is only 2km

🔺After arriving, continue walking along the seaside boardwalk for about 300m to reach the best shooting position
🔺Although you can see the colorful houses on the opposite hillside from here, which is quite complete, it's indeed a bit far, and I personally think that what the naked eye sees is not as beautiful as the bay at Fisherman's Wharf~
🔺But the camera still captures it very well! My lens has a 135mm focal length, if you have a 200+mm telephoto lens, it will capture even more detail
🔺Be sure to choose the time between 4-6 pm when the sunset light is there, the saturation of the houses will be higher and the colors more vivid
A place with a strong interest, this is a place that is very favored by children, here you can play a day very happy, like the performance here, very beautiful, very lively place.
Lingjiao Bay is located in the southwest of Laohutan, the end of the viewing plank road of Binhai Middle Road. It has been built for many years and a seawall has been repaired, but the construction of the scenic spot has not been completed yet. Nearby attractions include Ocean Park, Tiger Carving Square, Bird Forest, Air Cableway, Ship Exhibition Center, Lovers Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, etc. Visitors can board the large yacht cruise through the Lovers Bridge to the yacht pier - the surrounding sea area.
The sea in Dalian is still a certain difference from the south, so the seafood produced here is also different, especially the seafood in winter is more delicious. But the beach here is basically no, all reefs.
Located between Tiger Diao Square and Ocean Park, it is good to feed seagulls
