Taking a walk and catching sea creatures in Dalian, Dalian Luneng Hot Spring Hotel

Highly recommended hotel, really nothing to pick on. It can't be too far, it can't be too tiring, mainly for relaxation. It takes 2 hours from Shenyang to Dalian by high-speed rail. The temperature in Dalian these days is around 25 degrees, and it's a bit cool in the morning and evening in shorts. There are three better hotels near Jinshitan, Luneng Hilton, Luneng Hot Spring Holiday Hotel, and Luneng Hard Rock Hotel. When I checked the price (considering that there must be a double breakfast buffet for children), Hilton > Hot Spring > Hard Rock, Hilton and Hot Spring are almost the same, about 1.2 hundred yuan more expensive, Hard Rock is slightly cheaper. The location is that Hilton and Hard Rock are by the sea, the sea view is very good, but the main feature of the Hot Spring Hotel is the hot spring, about 7 minutes walk to the beach. Recommendations: 1. The hot springs are special. There are various kinds of hot springs, such as goji springs, ganoderma springs, and various colored hot springs that children like, such as blue mint springs, purple violet springs, and there are also independent parent-child amusement hot springs, where children play until they fall asleep inside. 2. The environment is elegant. The winding path leads to a secluded spot, which is a very thoughtful landscape design. Being in it, you feel relaxed. There are thoughtful flower teas next to the hot springs, which are very convenient. 3. There are very few people, very few. The number of people is surprisingly small, and all the pools have reached the feeling of a private bath. At a time when the mythical beasts are already on vacation, such a rare hot spring environment is really rare. 4. The service is thoughtful. The staff here always smile and patiently answer your questions in detail. This is in sharp contrast to the previous hot spring Qiyang (see the post three posts ago). The beautiful woman Susan who checked in responds to every call on WeChat, thoughtful and considerate. 5. It's very close to the beach, the sea in Jinshitan is very clean, the sand is fine, you can encounter oysters, small crabs, etc. when catching the sea, the hotel is very close to the beach. But if you pursue a direct view of the sea, it is recommended to stay at the Hilton opposite. It's also very close to Discovery Kingdom, about 7.8 minutes walk. 6. It's convenient to eat. The room rate includes a double breakfast. The hotel buffet for dinner is about 150 per person. Children under 1.2 meters are free of charge. The variety is not too much, but the price is quite reasonable. The breakfast buffet is quite good. What's rare is that there are many supporting businesses nearby, about 15 minutes walk, it's very convenient to eat. There is even a takeaway delivery cabinet in front of the hotel, which is simply too convenient. Shortcomings: 1. The transportation is not very convenient. It's a bit hard to take a taxi from the light rail. There is Jinshitan Line 4 in front of the hotel, but there is only one bus per hour. It is recommended to take the sightseeing train at the front of the light rail, 5 yuan per person, to the entrance of Discovery Kingdom, about 7.8 minutes walk to the hotel. 2. You must buy tickets for Discovery Kingdom in advance. The tickets online can only be used 2 hours in advance, and the ones you buy on the spot are about 60 yuan more expensive per ticket.
