Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform in Dalian

Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform stands on the coast, serving as the premier vantage point to appreciate the scenery of Dalian. Looking northeast, one can see Dalian Port, Dalian Bay, and Jinzhou Bay; gazing southwest, the landscape of Xinghai Bay unfolds before your eyes; looking southeast, the Fuzhuang seaside and the cross-sea bridge are clearly visible; looking straight ahead, the coastal road snakes east and west, and islands are scattered across the sea, with the double-sided Guanyin sitting quietly in the midst of the Yellow Sea, blessing all with favorable weather and the fulfillment of wishes. The Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform offers the best angle and height for a bird's-eye view of the entire panorama of Dalian. The Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform is built on the highest peak of Dalian's urban area, with Lianhua Mountain standing at an altitude of 259.6 meters. It was named after the lotus-like geological structure discovered by the famous Chinese geologist Li Siguang; hence the name Lianhua Mountain Viewing Platform.

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

Dalian, I would like to call it the ceiling of the romantic city in China!

When I first came to Dalian, I saw the panoramic view of the cross-sea bridge on the Lotus Hill. It is said that there was not much time before the construction of the cross-sea bridge, and there were many tourists coming from the Lotus Hill. When you have not yet reached the summit, you can already see the look of the mountain and the bridge across the sea. The shape of the cross-sea bridge is still very good, like a shackle on the sea. The bridge is designed to alleviate the road traffic pressure on the high-tech zone. Therefore, there is no charge for the passage. It is especially conscience. In front of the bridge is the Black Rock Reef. Many people used to take photos here. Later, after the bridge was built, some of the skyline was blocked, and fewer people came here. I think that on the Black Rock Reef, taking a wedding photo should be quite beautiful.
