    Overall, it was quite good. Although it was the off-season, the scenery was still very beautiful. There were many kinds of animals, and the facilities in each venue were very complete. The shows were also very good. I recommend everyone to visit. Tickets are even cheaper in the off-season, and it's actually very, very close to the bird park on foot.

    I went there purely to see the pandas. The environment was nice, large, and quiet, with no strong smells. There was also an amusement park and a Ferris wheel near the entrance, and a large plaza with a flock of pigeons.

    Dalian Jinshitan National Geopark boasts beautiful sea-eroded rocks, sculpted over hundreds of millions of years. The scenery is captivating, a place one longs to return to. A leisurely stroll with a bamboo cane is a truly enchanting experience.

    It's okay, it only takes a minute or a few minutes to go around. It's quite fast because it's electric and not hand-cranked. Compared with the rowing boats in Suzhou Hangzhou 2030, this one feels average and the scenery is average, worth 15 at most.

    There are locker rooms on the 1st floor, a water play area on the 3rd floor, two or three kinds of food on the 4th floor, a simple steam room on the 5th floor, a hot spring on the 6th floor, and an infinity pool on the 7th floor. The locker rooms are very clean, with slippers and towels. There are 6 or 7 water slides in the water play area, which are super fun. The wave pool water is also OK.

    I went to the Dalian Lushun Submarine Museum out of admiration, but I wasn't expecting so many visitors. There were lines for tickets and tours, and there were many buses parked nearby, arriving and leaving every now and then. It was packed with people from all over, especially students. It was clear that people were very interested in military and national defense, especially the navy. I recommend buying tickets in advance and arriving early.

    The Lushun Museum was beyond my expectations. Located in the Taiyanggou Cultural Square in the Taiyanggou Scenic Area of Lushunkou District, the museum boasts a modern Soviet-style building. Two main floors showcase a dazzling array of artifacts, ranging from ancient times to the present day, each one worth a careful inspection. A must-see for any visitor to Lushun.

    Take bus 204 to the Lion and Tiger Park to observe animals up close. There are many kinds of animals. They are gentle and have security measures to ensure the safety of tourists. Feeding is not expensive. It is a good experience.
