This trip to Dalian, I chose to stay in the most representative Yifang Castle Hotel in Dalian (originally under Marriott), the hotel is located in the golden area of Dalian city center - next to Xinghai Square, it is a five-star super luxury hotel with European architectural style as the main theme. Before checking in, I received a phone call from the butler Kevin (Chen) who was in charge of the day, asking about some check-in needs, very responsible yo (5-star praise), after checking in, the butler also gave us welcome fruit and Evian bubble water (love yo!), the sea view room we stayed in also has a great view, the sunset is beautiful, directly facing the sea-crossing bridge! The main body of the hotel is a Bavarian castle building, which is a landmark building in Dalian city, adjacent to Xinghai Bay, and also the starting point of the famous coastal road. The magnificent exterior and the sky garden on the fifth floor are must-visit places in Dalian, I suggest you must choose a sunny afternoon to take pictures, super photogenic!

Address - A friend booked me into this hotel at No. 600 Binhai West Road, Shahekou District, Dalian and I could swear I was in heaven. Ambiance/Facilities - The hotel was true to it's name in terms of looks, service and food. My family always looks forward to three things at a hotel: a general getting of luxury at a hotel (without the high price), exotic bathroom with a variety of vanity items, and a good buffet breakfast 🥞🍳. Our expectations were funny met 💃💃. The buffet menu was wide and varied and catered to both Western and Chinese tastes. There were many options for the kids as well such as yogurt, fries, and spring rolls. Highlights - The highlight for me was that the hotel was conveniently located in Downtown Dalian near many different areas of interest. There was an #amusementpark walking distance away called #yifengcastleamusementpark and within a 30 minute drive there was a wharf where we went on a boat ride and fed seagulls as they flew past the boat. We also went to a huge amusement park with roller coaster 🎢 about 1600ft away, and next door to it we went on a cable car 🚠🚡 to get a view of the city. PS. How could I forget the buffet hotpot restaurant on the #olympia66 mall choose by? It was amazing. Rating - definitely a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ star hotel and surrounding environment. Definitely worth it. #castle #hotelstay #luxuryhotel #dalian

You can’t miss this hotel when staying in Dalian, it is a huge landmark on the coastline. It resembles a medieval European castle but actually is less than 10 years old. We stayed for 2 night in August and before arriving I was skeptical if it was worth the price tag. However, we enjoyed every moment at the hotel and it certainly was worth the money. The hotel is managed and owned by the Marriott group so the service was excellent and the rooms we were well designed. The rooms are really big and lost have excellent views of the sea. The bathroom is huge too with a freestanding bath. The hotel can truest make you feel like a prince or a princess for the weekend, much more so than the Shanghai Disney Hotel. #staycation

Because then I can have all the fun to myself, hahaha. I thought Qingdao was beautiful, until I came to Dalian. Dalian has a low-key, luxurious kind of beauty. Here's my recommended four-day, three-night itinerary: It's not a whirlwind tour, but I managed to hit most of the must-see spots. I'm pretty satisfied. Day 1⃣️ Itinerary Zhoushuizi International Airport ➡️ Xinghai Square ➡️ Xi Ding Dumplings ➡️ Bangchui Island (seagull watching) ➡️ Hai Zhi Yun Scenic Platform + The Archway of the Holy Elephant ➡️ Donggang Venice Water Town + OUR Bakery (coffee) ➡️ Fisherman's Wharf ➡️ Pin Hai Lou (dinner) ➡️ U-Le Day 2⃣️ Itinerary Castle photo shoot ➡️ Lotus Mountain Viewing Platform ➡️ Haida Cable Car ➡️ Tram No. 201 photo shoot ➡️ Yakitori ➡️ U-Le ➡️ Late-night noodles Day 3⃣️ Itinerary Sakura Senhe Uni Don ➡️ Jinshitan Coastal National Geological Park ➡️ Takeout Day 4⃣️ Itinerary Sleep in, return trip from Dalianbei Railway Station ⚠️⚠️⚠️Tips ❶ Two things to do on Bangchui Island: feed the seagulls and climb the small island. ❷ Two things to do at Hai Zhi Yun: visit the viewing platform and the Archway of the Holy Elephant (navigate to Xuri Square, then walk 20 mins; the road is a bit steep, so be careful). ❸ The best photo spot at Fisherman's Wharf is in front of Pin Hai Lou. You can also visit the cultural and creative shops at Cat Sky City. For photos of Diamond Bay, go to Laohutan Scenic Area; you'll need a telephoto lens. ❹ You can take a taxi to the south gate 2 of the zoo, then take the sightseeing bus to the Lotus Mountain Viewing Platform (one-way trip is CNY 30, a bit pricey, but walking isn't too far either). I don't recommend the cafe at the viewing platform; it's a rip-off. ❺ Xi Ding's sea urchin dumplings are delicious and fresh, but the wait is long. I went at 10am and waited for less than an hour. ❻ Jinshitan National Geological Park is quite fun (CNY 60 entrance fee, three park areas, about 2 hrs total). The rose garden is also beautiful and free. ❼ The castle is a stunning place for photos. It's worth the price, even if it's expensive to stay overnight. ❽ U-Le is a Dalian specialty. Spending CNY 1 is definitely worth it. ❾ For sea urchin, go to the Golden Triangle Seafood Market. The sea urchin is high quality and cheap, so you can eat your fill. Bringing a small spoon is essential.🤭 This time, I didn't make it to Hubowan, Silver Beach, or Qixianling Mountain. A small regret, but I'll save them for next time.

Dalian is the most comfortable city I've ever been to, with few tourists and affordable prices. The sea is even bluer and clearer than in summer, and you can see the sunrise, sunset, seagulls, and beaches every day... The off-season in Dalian is beautiful and less crowded, offering a fantastic experience! Watch the sunrise and sunset, enjoy the sea, and feed the seagulls. Every photo is stunning! Here are some tips for taking photos in Dalian: Xinghai Park A free coastal park where you can camp, play in the water, feed the seagulls, and enjoy a sea yacht project, bungee jumping, amusement park, and Western restaurant. It's a real hidden gem! Xinghai Bay Bridge Best Viewpoint The best place to take a photo with the cross-sea bridge. It's the best place to take a photo of the cross-sea bridge. It's recommended to come at sunrise or sunset for a more beautiful blue-pink moment! Take a taxi to the south gate of the Forest Zoo and walk to the Xinghai Bay Bridge Best Viewpoint. Magic Pot Coffee on Guangfeng Street You can take a photo with the graffiti background wall with "Dalian" written on it. Fisherman's Wharf, Lingjiao Bay Who says Dalian has no landmarks or memories? Fisherman's Wharf is the city's calling card! The afternoon sun shines on the rows of European-style buildings, making you feel like you're in Italy. It's like the Cinque Terre of Dalian. Take a photo of the colorful buildings at Fisherman's Wharf, bring a telephoto lens (enlarge 6-7 times to get the effect), otherwise the photo will be blurry, or ask the photographer there to take a photo. It's recommended to go around 2pm. Donggang 5th Street A road leading to the sea. A large ship passes by at 10:50. Donggang 5th Street is a popular spot for taking photos of large ships. Be sure to walk to the designated point, don't stop halfway when you see someone, the higher the angle, the better. Bring a telephoto lens to take photos, arrive early, the ship will pass by for 20s. Dalian Art Museum Located at the entrance of Russian Street. The building in Conan is a replica of the Dalian Art Museum. Take a photo of Ran. Russian Street in Dalian A historic district with colorful murals and historic buildings. Yinsha Beach A super Korean beach park, a road leading to the sea, Korean style at the corner, very photogenic, there is also a seaside cafe. You can sit in the cafe and walk away when it gets dark in the evening. Dalian One Castle Navigate directly to "One Castle Hotel". After entering the gate, walk straight into the lobby and take the elevator to the 5th floor sky garden. Here you can overlook the buildings by the sea, the view is amazing! The European-style buildings in the garden are also beautiful, especially when the weather is good, you can take photos of the sea and sky through the arched windows of the building. Xiaogang (Coastal Promenade) Reefs and the sea, very distinctive, a place I personally like; Venice Water City in Dalian A scenic area built on the model of Venice, with a cluster of European-style buildings. Although you can't take a gondola ride in winter, you can take photos around the European-style buildings. If the weather is good, you can also see the super romantic pink sunset in Donggang. Fujiashang Park Located next to Yinsha Beach, you can walk there. It's recommended to come here to watch the sunset. Compared with Yinsha Beach, there are fewer people and it's quieter. You can walk close to the sea and listen to the sound of waves crashing on the beach. It's really healing.

All over Dalian ~

🏰 tldr: A standout hotel worth visiting as a destination. [Car] [Location convenience] The hotel is adjacent to Xinghai Square and faces the cross-sea bridge. The sea view is wide and you can directly see the light show of Xinghai Bay Bridge. The hotel is halfway up the mountain. Although there is a shuttle bus to take you up and down the mountain during operating hours, it is not very convenient for me who likes to walk around. The hotel is not close to the subway station. Xinghai Square is huge, and it is not a good idea to take the subway to the hotel. [Gym] [Public area] The castle hotel is worthy of its name, built on the mountain without being obtrusive at all. I feel that the Luxury Collection brand, which was renovated on the basis of the original Shell Museum, is much more suitable than the LC in Nanning. The public areas have many details and the design is luxurious and complex, but there is no feeling of being bloated or copycat. WAG and HBA's work was still successful. The fifth-floor sky garden is highly recommended. It is full of flowers and full of vitality. You can overlook the sea and enjoy the flowers. It is very comfortable. If I have a chance to come again, I might try the yoga stretching class in the garden. [Bed] 【Room】 The rooms are acceptable although in average condition. There are not many sockets in the room, and the various switches are not very easy to use, but they still gave it a Washlet. Although I only have a large bottle of it, I really like the scent of LE CHEMIN by BYREDO. 🛝【Hotel Facilities】 The lounge is closed. Breakfast was average. I went around the gym and didn't see the stair climbing machine that I've been loving lately. 🧳 The pineapple lemon tea when checking in was really delicious, and they also gave us a foldable hand-drawn map. I really love folding hand-drawn maps.

"Ding——" Your fairytale ticket is now valid💌 When you push open the golden door, the crystal chandelier lights up the Baroque dome with a dazzling glow, and the butler smiles and hands you a glass of champagne🍾️.

The Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Dalian is a ten-year-old hotel. I heard that it was very impressive when it first opened, but ten years have passed, and the owner is not as brave as he used to be. However, I was still very happy with this trip. The hotel called to ask about the situation, and then the suite voucher was upgraded to the Knight Suite in seconds. It was indeed invincible. After all, I heard that there was no upgrade during the summer vacation. I was quite surprised by this contrast. In fact, I thought that if the suite voucher was not confirmed, I would not stay. I didn't expect to confirm it a few days in advance. I was pleasantly surprised. There are only two Knight Suites on the 22nd floor. The Noble Suite is currently under renovation. The Knight Suite is 100 square meters, which is very spacious and looks much larger than the Sea View Suite. The study window actually reminded me of the familiar feeling of the Shanghai WA Club by the river. The overall decoration is very retro. Before I came, the weather forecast said it would rain, but fortunately, the weather was very nice today, and I encountered a rare sunset. I was very lucky. I really like the open-air terrace on the fifth floor. The view of the sea and the cross-sea bridge is a very good experience.

Every photo I took was so atmospheric. Whether it was the blue sky and white clouds during the day or the bright lights at night, the castle was breathtaking. 🛏️ The rooms are high quality. The bed is soft, the decorations are exquisite, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are bright and spacious. Open the curtains and you can see the beautiful Xinghai Bay. The toiletries are high-end and have a light fragrance. Every time I used them, I felt like I was having a luxurious spa. 🍽️ The food is also worth mentioning.

Enjoying delicious food while admiring the sea view is so relaxing. 🏊‍♀️ The hotel facilities are also very complete. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools are clean and clear. After swimming, you can lie on a deck chair by the pool and sunbathe. It's so comfortable.

It is adjacent to Xinghai Square, with many restaurants and shopping places nearby. It is only a 25-minute drive from Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport. Design Style The design is inspired by European classical castles, combining modern and traditional elements.

The Collections Restaurant can accommodate 148 guests at the same time, and the interior facilities are elegant and atmospheric.

The Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Dalian is a recommended accommodation option. Located at 600 Binhai West Road, Shahekou District, Dalian, the hotel is situated on a hillside and resembles Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle, with a unique European luxury style. The hotel was converted from a shell museum and, although it has been around for ten years, the interior is luxurious, with a particularly opulent lobby, colorful domes, European sculptures, and floral decorations that leave a lasting impression. Room facilities and services The hotel rooms are well-maintained, and although some facilities are slightly outdated, they are generally well-kept. The sea view suite is about 80 square meters in size, with a purely European style, harmonious warm and cool tones, and views of the Xinghai Bay Bridge. The room's toiletries are of high quality, such as Byredo brand toiletries, and the bathroom facilities are complete, although the bathtub is a little shallow and the shower head has a small water flow. The hotel also offers free breakfast and late check-out services, with good service. Dining experience The hotel's dining experience is also very good. The breakfast restaurant has a beautiful environment and a wide variety of food, including freshly squeezed juice, smoked salmon, and panini sandwiches. Although it lacks local Dalian specialties, overall satisfaction is high. In addition, the hotel's lobby bar offers exquisite afternoon tea, with a wide variety of delicious desserts, perfect for enjoying with friends. Surroundings and transportation The hotel is located near Xinghai Square, with convenient transportation, and is within walking distance of attractions such as Xinghai Square, the Shell Museum, the Forest Zoo, and Golden Beach Bathing Beach. The hotel is surrounded by complete facilities, with a variety of dining and entertainment facilities available downstairs.

The hotel is located halfway up a mountain, with a mountain in front and the sea behind. The exterior is as magnificent as a real castle. We recommend staying on the 20th floor or above, where you can see the cross-sea bridge. The view is simply amazing. 🌉 The sky garden on the 5th floor is very unique, with fountains and green spaces. Take photos when the sun is shining, and you can see the entire Xinghai Square. 🌸 The hotel was converted from the Dalian Shell Museum. The facilities are a little old, but still acceptable. 💯 There are many photo spots, including the hotel lobby, the stairs on the second floor, the corridor on the fifth floor, and the sky garden. The spiral staircase in the lobby is magnificent, and you can take a photo of yourself as a runaway princess. In the sky garden, you can see Xinghai Square and the Xinghai Bay Bridge from the terrace. 📸 The cross-sea bridge is also very beautiful when lit up at night. The hotel facilities are good, and the toiletries are by Byredo. However, the bed is a little soft, which may be uncomfortable for those who are used to hard beds. The hotel service is also very good, worthy of the star rating and price.

It is said that Dalian and Liaoning are suitable for summer vacation and water play, but I think winter does not affect its beauty. Before coming here, I had been wondering how Xinghai Square got its name, until I saw the sea under the sun, and then I understood. The broken sunlight scattered on the sea created a sea of ​​jumping stars, which was so beautiful that people didn't want to miss it. I personally think the most beautiful section is near the Dalian Natural History Museum. There is a black reef on the beach that looks like the head of a great man looking into the distance in deep thought. There are also a large number of seagulls playing together on the beach. The water in Bangchui Island should be the clearest. There is a check-in platform on the mountain opposite the Xinghai Bay Cross-sea Bridge, from which you can see the whole process. Dalian Yifang Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is indeed an ancient castle on the top of a mountain. You can overlook the entire Xinghai Square and the cross-sea bridge. It is beautiful. I saw the slogan of the castle sales office: A castle that can be kept privately. It makes me feel a little... Don’t keep it privately, it will be more beautiful when everyone appreciates it. Dalian is a relatively small city, and you can take the bus or taxi to go out. The tourist attractions are basically distributed along the seaside, which is suitable for a leisurely stroll. The sea breeze is strong in winter, so remember to bring a hat and mask.

The Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Dalian Location The hotel is located right next to Xinghai Square, which is a great location. You can overlook Xinghai Bay from the hotel, and it is backed by mountains and faces the sea, which is really beautiful. The hotel is built in the Bavarian castle style, which is very impressive, as if you have entered a fairy tale world. Room experience The room I stayed in was very large and luxuriously decorated, with a very high-end feel. The bedding was also very comfortable, soft and fluffy, and I slept very well. In addition, every room has a view of the sea or the city, with a great view. Dining experience Dining at the hotel is also a great experience. The Zhenbao Chinese Restaurant is luxuriously decorated, and the dishes are very special, especially the seafood, which is very fresh and tastes great. There is also the Collections Restaurant, which offers international cuisine, with a wide variety of choices, and I was very satisfied. In addition, the Royal Cellar on the fifth floor offers German craft beer, which is a great experience. Service experience In terms of service, the hotel staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. I communicated with the hotel in advance about my anniversary, and they specially prepared red wine, which was very thoughtful. In addition, they are very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the hotel and will share many interesting stories with you, making you feel as warm as at home.
