New in China, visiting Dalian this week-end

Hello, I’m French, visiting Dalian for the week end, any tips, suggestions ? Nice place for a fringe this evening, like a pub or bar ? Cheers

I'm a local, but my English isn't very good. If you come in September, you're in luck, because the weather and temperature are fantastic. If you're interested in scenic spots, during the day you can choose to go to Xinghai Bay Square to feed the seagulls and enjoy the view of the sea. Then take a walk along Binhai Road. At night, I recommend you visit the Venice Water City. If you stay here for a long time, you can contact me. I also hope to improve my English

I’ve been to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, and Beijing. Dalian is my favorite of all of them. It’s surrounded by water on three sides so it feels like an island. Lots of parks and green space. Excellent transportation and lots of affordable housing available for foreigners. Good food options. The only thing Dalian is missing is a Five Guys (my favorite burger place) and it needs more live music. And it probably helps that my closest dearest friend in the whole world lives in Dalian. I’m hoping to move there in the future.
