I will stand at the very top and look down upon all the mountains below

Lianhua Mountain is the highest peak in Dalian, and there is an observation deck on Lianhua Mountain from which you can have a panoramic view of Dalian. With the anticipation of a different scenery from above, I decided to go and take a look. The path to the observation deck is lined with dense trees, and as you climb higher, the sea level slowly appears in the distance. After reaching the observation deck, I looked far into the distance. Despite the mist over the water, it still felt magnificent. The first thing that caught my eye was the distant buildings, varying in height and clearly layered. An aunt next to me said that was the direction of her home. The Xinghai Bay Bridge winds towards the distant high-rises, which appear like mirages in the clouds and mist. Near the coastline, small islands and fishing boats are scattered, and from high above, everything looks so tiny. The Ferris wheel by the sea, the roads, and the vehicles have all shrunk, as if I were observing a miniature world. There is a shop on the observation deck where you can buy drinks and sit on chairs to slowly enjoy the beautiful view. If interested, you can also pay to go up to a higher observation deck. 📍Location: Xigang District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, within the Xishan Cable Car Fitness Park of the Forest Zoo ⏰Opening hours: 8:30-19:30 (please refer to the announcement of the scenic area on the day) ⏳Duration of visit: About 2-3 hours 🌟Suggestions: The cable car is not open in winter, and it is a long walk up and down the mountain, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes; if you don't want to walk that far, you can take a ride-hailing service to the Monument of Road Construction when you go, which costs 10 yuan per car, and you don't need to buy a ticket
