Lianhuashan Observation Deck
莲花山观景台
A hilltop viewpoint in southern Dalian with panoramic views of Xinghai Bay Bridge, the city's high-rises and the coastline.
Lianhuashan Observation Deck sits on a hilltop between the Forest Zoo and the southern coast. The platform has broad views: looking north over the forest of city-centre towers, and south over Xinghai Bay Bridge and the bay. Sunset and night views are especially photogenic, and the spot has become very popular on social media in recent years. The deck is free and generally open all day. The mountain road is narrow and parking is limited, and traffic restrictions may apply on public holidays. You can take a taxi to the foot of the hill and walk up in about 20 minutes. Take care when coming down at night.
Opening hours
Open all day; traffic control possible on holidays
