[2025 Dalian Attraction] Travel Guide for Dongguan Street (Updated Jul)

Dongguan Street is Dalian's newest trendy area, featuring charming accessory shops, the popular bagel shop 'Okay Bagel,' terrace cafes, craft beer pubs, cocktail bars, street food, and hidden photo spots all in one place. You can reach Dongguan Street by taking the 201 tram from major tourist attractions, which offers a unique experience. Although I took a taxi, seeing the vintage-style tram passing by the entrance made me feel like I was traveling back in time. Modern trams beautifully decorated also frequently pass by, and the atmosphere is enhanced by saxophone performances from the wooden clock tower, adding to the charm of this hotspot. After recharging with caffeine at Seesaw Coffee, I explored the street. There are plenty of things to see, including cute accessories and souvenirs, and you can also participate in tasting or experience events, making time fly by. Additionally, there are many hidden photo spots scattered around, so don't just pass by—take a look at the alleys and spaces inside the buildings for some great finds.

I was on a city walk with my friend in Dongguan Street and stumbled upon a high-end, minimalist fragrance store! As a fragrance lover, I couldn't resist! 🧼 As soon as I walked in, I could smell a sweet fragrance that instantly dispelled all my work stress! I heard from the staff that this is the first store in Northeast China, and there are discounts for the first few days after opening! Their fragrances are different from the "mall fragrances" on the market! The scents are very unique and niche, and each one has its own characteristics ✨ My friend and I spent almost an hour in the store experiencing the fragrances, taking photos, and smelling the scents. I really loved every single one of their hand creams! Absurd Rose 🌹 has a full rose fragrance that is high-end and pleasant; Leather Sweet Flower 🌼 is my favorite, with a simple and elegant scent and a charming aftertaste! I bought it without hesitation~ Hair essential oil is also a daily necessity for me. I fell in love with the White Tea Jasmine scent at first sniff. It's not greasy, and the fragrance is clear and long-lasting 🍃 There are opening promotions, and the staff even gave me a massage comb of a model that they sell, which is awesome!! I'll come again next time~ 📍TOCTOUCH (Dongguan Street Store)

#Overseas travel #China #Dongguanji Dalian, Liaoning Province, has many European-style buildings due to the influence of Russia and Japan. Compared to other cities, there are many old modern buildings left, so they were dangerous for a while, but now many areas have been repaired and restored, making them tourist attractions that tourists can visit easily. Among them, the most representative one is the Dongguanji Historical and Cultural Street. Many tourists are busy taking certification shots, while others are drinking coffee or tea at pretty teahouses and soaking up the atmosphere. Although it is a pity that it is changing commercially, the atmosphere of the street provides enough to see for tourists.

#Overseas travel #China #Dongguanji Dalian's Dongguanji is the starting point of Dalian's ethnic industry and commerce, and also the center of Dalian's socialist culture. It is an important heritage that has continued its history from the Japanese and Russian colonial era to the era of immigration to Gwandong. In this area, there are over 200 buildings, and many of them have been preserved on a large scale and remodeled to be used as coffee shops, restaurants, or pretty prop shops that fit the modern era. It is a popular place for many tourists to visit and enjoy a trip while feeling the breath of modern history. In contrast to the magnificent buildings in the city center, this place gives the feeling of walking through a local street in modern China.

#Overseas travel #China #Dalian Xigang District When you ride an old tram through Xigang District in Dalian, China, you will pass by a section of old red brick buildings.
