The impression Dalian gives to the world is of a city of lawns, squares, fountains and gardens. This is all thanks to the former mayor of the city, Bo Xilai, who initiated a ‘Green Storm’ – a widespread environmental campaign which brought numerous green squares, forest parks and seaside scenic spots to the city. People say it is ‘A City Built in Gardens’. Running from downtown there is a 40-kilometer (25-mile) road known as Binhai Lu winding along the coastline, northeast to southwest. This coastal area is a paradise for beach vacationers.
The famous scenic spots of Bangchuidao Scenic Area, Tiger Beach Ocean Park, Jinshitan Scenic Area, Dalian Forest Zoo and Xinghai Square are scattered around this region. In addition to the stunning cliffs and scenic parks, numerous places along the coastline are good for beach resort visitors and water sports lovers. Meanwhile, you can sample the authentic Dalian-style seafood in a fisherman’s house at an incredibly low price. Besides, there is a large entertainment park – Discoveryland Theme Park, inside Jinshitan Scenic Area, where you can feel the excitement of adventures.
