Montage de l'eau

It's okay, it only takes a minute or a few minutes to go around. It's quite fast because it's electric and not hand-cranked. Compared with the rowing boats in Suzhou Hangzhou 2030, this one feels average and the scenery is average, worth 15 at most.

I went there during the National Day holiday. There were too many people and it would normally take a long time to queue up. I bought an Express Pass and got on the boat quickly. The scenery at night was nice and it was very beautiful in the early autumn evening!

The scenery at night is beautiful, but there are so many people. It rained when I went there, and it was crowded. I took some photos. The boat was closed, but if you walk along the water city, you will reach Donggang. There are concerts in the evening. There is also a check-in spot on Gangdong Fifth Street where you can take the 201 tram.

Parking is convenient and it is close to the beach. There are no identical houses, but it is a pity that I came here in winter both times and the river was frozen. It is a pity that there are no gondolas, but the distinctive Western-style buildings are also pleasing to the eye. There are cafes, specialty restaurants and bookstores, and it is very pleasant to stroll around.

When my colleague came here in September, he took photos and posted them on WeChat Moments, which inspired me to visit Venice Water City. I came here to check in on my first day in Dalian. I don’t know why the water was drained, and there were not many shops open. In addition, the weather was not very good. I walked for a long time and didn’t see many people. I felt a little disappointed. It’s very close to the beach, there are buses nearby, and it’s convenient to take a taxi

Dalian Haichang Oriental Water City Travel Experience The moment I walked into Dalian Haichang Oriental Water City, it was as if I had traveled through time and space and arrived at the romantic water town of Europe. Here, the Venetian style and Dalian's coastal characteristics are perfectly integrated. Every scene is full of poetry, which brought me a dreamy and pleasant travel experience. Walking in the water city, the most eye-catching thing is the criss-crossing rivers. The clear river water sparkles in the sun, and the exquisitely shaped gondolas slowly shuttle through it. The boatman in traditional costumes stands at the bow, rowing while singing melodious Italian folk songs. The singing spreads with the waves, instantly pulling people into the romantic atmosphere of a foreign country. I also boarded the gondola, sat on the soft seat, and admired the European-style buildings on both sides of the river from a close distance, watching the stone bridge across the river, and watching the reflection swaying in the water, as if I were in a flowing painting, full of leisure and intoxication. The buildings on both sides of the river are unique, with steeple churches, Baroque-style palaces, and retro bell towers... Every building is carved with beams and painted with rafters, and the details show the elegance and magnificence of European architecture. The white walls and colorful doors and windows are particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the blue sky. The exquisite reliefs and decorative lines make people stop and admire the craftsmen's exquisite craftsmanship. Especially in the evening, when the lights are on, the warm yellow lights are on, reflecting on the river, covering the water city with a layer of golden gauze. The whole scene is beautiful like a dream, and you can get a full-fledged blockbuster with a casual shot. In addition to the charming scenery, the commercial atmosphere of the water city is also very strong. There are all kinds of specialty shops along the river, including boutiques selling European souvenirs, coffee shops with rich aromas, and bookstores full of literary and artistic atmosphere. I walked into a coffee shop, sat by the window, ordered a cup of fragrant coffee, watched the gondolas coming and going outside the window, listened to soft music, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility and beauty. In addition, there are many gourmet restaurants here, ranging from Western food to Chinese food, satisfying the taste buds of different tourists. In Haichang Oriental Water City, time seems to slow down. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, only romantic style and leisurely time. It has the elegance and romance of European water cities and integrates the coastal characteristics of Dalian. It is a great place for people to relax and feel poetic. This exotic journey has left me with countless beautiful memories and made me love the city of Dalian more deeply.

The following is a review of Dalian Haichang Oriental Water City: Advantages • Magnificent architecture and landscape: Based on the European water city, it has invested heavily to build more than 200 European-style buildings, and neoclassical castles and palaces stand by the water. A 4-kilometer-long artificial canal runs through it, the sea water is clear, gondola boats shuttle, the two banks are picturesque, and the lights are on at night, which is romantic and charming. • Rich and diverse tourism resources: It integrates characteristic tourism, fashion culture, high-end business, etc., with coastal music fountains, three-dimensional light shows around the city, 3D visual art museums, etc., as well as bionic mechanical rays, whale sharks and other technological elements, which increase the fun of playing. • Relatively complete supporting facilities: Located in Donggang Business District, it has convenient transportation, and there are Metro Line 2 and many bus routes around it. There are many dining places in the water city, providing food from various countries, as well as coffee shops, dessert shops, etc. In addition, there are many cultural and creative stores, souvenir shops, etc. to meet shopping needs. Disadvantages • Overly strong commercial atmosphere: The overall commercial atmosphere is strong, and some tourists may feel that they lack pure cultural and natural landscape experience, and some commodities and catering prices are high, and the cost performance is not high. • Limited winter experience: Winter temperatures are low, rivers may freeze, some water projects and outdoor activities cannot be carried out, and the outdoor tour experience will also be greatly reduced.

This place was called Venice Water City before, I don't know why it became Oriental Water City, maybe because it can't have a foreign name, but I came here in winter. The level here is not very high, which is also related to the northern city. After all, Dalian will also freeze in winter. However, the buildings here still look pretty good. Although they are imitations of foreign buildings developed by real estate developers, they also have exotic styles.
