Spring Festival countdown! 6 days exploring the three cities of Liaodong

🌟【Dalian-Dandong-Shenyang 6-Day In-Depth Travel Guide】🌟 Pain Points and Solutions 1️⃣ Lack of child-friendly facilities: No exclusive children’s packages at Dalian Discovery Kingdom and Shenyang Fantawild, most hotels in Dandong lack play areas. ➡️ Bring your own snacks, choose family-friendly shopping areas like Xita Street, and stay in Dandong at homestays with children’s playgrounds. 2️⃣ Homogeneous attractions: Dalian’s marine theme and Shenyang’s historical experiences overlap significantly. ➡️ Focus on Dalian Haichang Ocean Park and feeding seagulls at Xinghai Square, while in Shenyang prioritize the Palace Museum live performances and exploring the secret rooms of Zhang’s Marshal Mansion. 3️⃣ Time-consuming transportation: High-speed train from Dandong to Shenyang takes 1.5 hours, but city attractions are scattered. ➡️ Rent an electric bike in Dalian to ride along Binhai Road, charter a car for border tours in Dandong, and use subway plus shared bikes in Shenyang.
