Dazhong Street

Stroll down Dazhong Street to soak up Dalian's old-town vibes! This bustling alley packs authentic food stalls, retro sundry shops and local life scenes where skewer sizzles blend with vendors' calls. Come at dusk for golden-hour photos against vintage storefronts, then try the legendary menzi—crispy fried potato cakes with chewy centers, a childhood staple locals swear by.
