Zhongshan

Labour Park
Â¥10-15 during holidays, free the rest of the time
06:30-18:30
South of Qingniwa shopping area

The largest park in Dalian containing a number of attractions, including a small aviary area, a few man made lakes and an amusement park which, like the one in Xinghai Square, is overpriced and fairly uninteresting. Off season the park is free and can be a pleasant place to take a stroll, but it is probably not worth paying to get in during the holiday periods.

Tiger Beach
South of the city centre

This tourist area is somewhat misnamed, as there really is not a beach to speak of. There are a number of tourist attractions, the most prominent of which is the slightly pricey Polar Aquarium 09:00-16:30, ¥90. Though popular with tourists, the area, though pretty, is unlikely to hold the attention of more jaded overseas tourists for long and is perhaps best seen as a starting point for journeys along Binhai Road.
