Dalian = Sea City 🌊 And its marine-themed spots? Plenty.

#chinatravel Meet Fisherman’s Pier (literally "Fisherman’s Wharf") — a hidden gem most Russian tourists miss (but easy AF to DIY). 🔖 Get there: 🚇 Metro Line 5 (red) to Hutan Xinqu (end station). ➡️ Pull a 180° turn → walk straight to the clock tower. ⏰ Verdict: • Russian tourists? Zero. • Chinese tour groups? Swarming. What’s happening: 🐦 Locals dramatically feed seagulls (bread-throwing Olympics 🥖) 📸 Solo/group photos against the sea (blue backdrop sold separately) 🦀 Tide-pool crab hunting (low tide = free crustacean zoo) ⚠️ Air quality: Concentrated sea breeze + lingering "eau de seafood market." 🐟💨 Yes, it’s tourist-built — cute houses, narrow lanes, cafes, hotels. But! The bay’s still a working fishing port with boats docked rows-deep. 🚢 Pro move: Buy the day’s catch right off the boats! 🦐 Local-approved. 🎟️ Free entry | ⏱️ 2 hours max (perfect slow stroll pace). 📍 Fisherman Pier Taxi driver phrase: 漁人碼頭 Follow me for more in Trip/Telegram @stran_nasti #dalian #china
