Another beautiful Dalian spot for "wandering and strolling

#chinatravel

🙂 Children’s Park — a small park in downtown Dalian with an artificial lake.

It’s packed with blooming trees, playgrounds for little ones, a market, and a smooth running track around the lake.

The park connects to Nanshan Road, where you can walk straight to Labor Park.

🌸 What makes it special?
- Mingze Lake: The park’s heart ❤️ — a 30,000 m² pond with granite banks, crystal-clear water, and red carp visible even from the shore.
- Walking/Jogging Track: A plastic loop path perfect for morning runs or sunset strolls.
- Lawns & Greenery: Spacious picnic-friendly grass areas (pack your trash though!).
- Seasonal Magic: Cherry/apple blossoms in spring 🍒; golden ginkgos on nearby Nanshan Folk Street in fall 🍂.
- Chill Vibes: Morning opera singers by the pavilion; evening folk-song gatherings.
