Wanjia Alley

Wanji Alley is a nostalgic lane in Dalian where red-brick houses and retro shops line the cobblestone path. Famous for its street food stalls serving sizzling "menzi" (fried starch jelly) and grilled seafood, the alley comes alive with aromas from dawn till dusk. Don't miss artisans crafting paper-cut art at the lane's end. When lanterns illuminate the alley at night, it transforms into a glowing maze—perfect for strolling with candied hawthorns while soaking up Northeast China's vibrant street life.
