The second place I recommend that you go to the "Sheng Ya Polar Museum", the total **** there are four museums, which has some seals, sea lions, polar bears, penguins and so on it! There is also a dolphin show program, quite good. If you want to ask me: Sheng Ya and Tiger Beach Polar Museum which is better I suggest you go to Sheng Ya, because I think the environment and the construction of what is Sheng Ya better!
Third I recommend that you go to the "Discovery Kingdom of Jinshitan", but if you go with your classmates and other people of the same age to go there to play is very good, inside the pirate ship, roller coasters, are those who are more stimulating and fun games, if your parents to take you to the words you have to think about it, after all, the older people I'm afraid I can not stand it! I'm afraid that older people can not stand!
The rest if you like birds and small animals, I suggest you go to the "Forest Zoo" inside the leopard ah, lions, tigers, wolves, monkeys and other animals have, but also some of the more rare plants, and can do cable cars!
There is also the Tiger Beach Square, Dalian is more famous, there are six tiger statues there!
If you have time, you can go to the "People's Square", where Dalian's famous policewomen patrol!
As for what you need to bring, you only need two kinds, one is money, enough money, Dalian only you can't think of, no you can't play, the second is the camera or DV, because it can be remembered! There is also to go to the beach remember to bring sunscreen or sunscreen umbrella!
As for the specialties I suggest you go to the north gate of the train station: the big market, if the owner of the road is more distant, if you go there to buy some squid silk, grilled fish fillets and everything ah!
All in all, I hope to help you, this is my own experience in Dalian, I wish you a happy trip!
