4.0Jinshitan Scenic Area(248 reviews) - Jishitan Beach: Renewed And Developed Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Beaches
Jinshitan Beach has changed enormously and grown in popularity. For the past seven years, I had the pool on the beach to myself, pretty much. Now there are thousands of visitors on the beach. It's still not crowded. And it's still incredibly clean. Lots of attractions have been added: jetskis, paddleboards, swimming areas, boating areas, speed boats, cruise boats, etc. There are restaurants and snack bars right on the beach and across the road in a new mall, too. Millions have been invested in this seaside location and the money was not wasted. The development is creative and the result is dynamic. There are secluded beaches nearby, if that's what you're looking for. If you want to hit a big beach that has become trendy and popular, head for Dalian and then go to Jinshitan Beach. You're gonna love it!See more..
4.5Xingcheng Seaside(26 reviews) - Preparing for the season (end of March 2017) Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beaches
Because I was a bit disappointed in the old city of xingcheng I decided to go to the beach. Weather is sunny, but with a sturdy wind. Took a taxi there to have some of the cobwebs blown from my head. It looks like a nice place. Might be a good place to spend a couple of days when you are a bit tired of moving around. At least when it is bit warmer and places have opened up. There were a couple of people, like me, enjoying the view of the sea and enjoying the wind. Seems like they are preparing for the season. Cleaning up, finishing some of the hotels on the boulevard. Cleaning the sand of the beach. Nothing open yet except at the far end on the boulevard, left from the statue, behind the gate, there was at least one restaurant open . To the right from the statue there seem to be some nice hotels. The stone boulevard turns into a wooden pathway around the rocks. Don't be alarmed when you are in your own and all of a sudden you here a voice. It is the recording of chanting in a small Buddhist shrine.See more..
