The Cuifengyuan Hot Pot restaurant in Dalian’s southwest suburb of Hei Shi Jiao is a traditional Sichuan restaurant. While the most popular (and logical) time to visit the restaurant is during the chilly winter months, Cuifengyuan Hot Pot is busy all year round.
When you sit down, you will be given the choice of a very hot or mild sauce to boil the various foods you choose to cook in your hot pot. You can also choose to have a hot pot with both sauces separated, so you can enjoy two different flavours during the meal.
If you are not familiar with eating hot pot, the basic idea is that you cook your own food in a boiling pot on the table. The variety of meats (sliced beef, lamb and pork) as well as seafood and vegetables make the hot pot a complete and enjoyable meal. There is an incredibly long list of various meats, seafood, tofu, noodles, and vegetables that you can choose to include in your hot pot.
The price of the meal is reasonably cheap as are the Chinese beers (4-6 RMB per big bottle) and selection of juices. The service is fast and efficient, but not particularly friendly. Most of the staff does not speak English.
For vegetarians, there is an option to have part of the hot pot contain only noodles and vegetables.
The restaurant is not the cleanest in town, but is still of acceptable conditions.
Cuifengyuan Hot Pot is always busy in the evenings, particularly on the weekends. Making a reservation in advance or collecting a number from the hostess an hour before your meal is recommended so you can be guaranteed to have a table.
The Cuifengyuan Hot Pot Restaurant is located on Zhongshan Lu in the suburb of Hei Shi Jiao to the southwest of the city. The No. 202 tram stops nearby and buses 801, 23, 406 and 28 also go to Hei Shi Jiao. The restaurant is just next to the western gate of the Xinghai Park. A taxi from the city centre will cost around 20-30 Yuan.

The Shuang Yi Sheng Pancake King restaurant offers typical northern Chinese cuisine. The restaurant is quite spacious with several floors and private rooms for group meals. It offers a large variety of seafood and northern style dishes. If you are feeling adventurous this is an excellent place to sample the famous Dalian speciality, The Sea Cucumber!
The Pancake Restaurant also specializes in roasted duck and pancakes. The roasted duck may not be as tasty as Beijing's legendary dish in terms of quality and price, but is still a solid choice. The roasted duck is served with pancakes, spring onions, and Hoi Sin sauce.
Most importantly, do not leave the restaurant without sampling the home brewed dark and light beer. English menus are available, but hopefully you can speak some Chinese or have a Mandarin phrasebook handy, because none of the staff members speak English.
The Pancake Restaurant is located on Zhongsan St. in the suburb of Hei Shi Jiao next to the Super 8 hotel. It is easy to get there by tram (No.202), by bus (801, 23, 28, 406, or 901), or by taxi (RMB 20-30) from the city centre.

Tapas is a culinary oasis set in the modern thriving city of Dalian, just a short hop from more well-recognized international cities such as Beijing or Shanghai. Gorka, the chef who hails from the Basque region of northern Spain, blends a mouth watering selection of traditional Spanish dishes with a modern Asian twist. Favourites such as paella, Spanish tortilla, cured ham, fresh Spanish breads, and home made chorizo are complimented by a varied wine selection from Spain, France, Italy, Argentina and China.

All of the cakes and desserts are homemade and this author strongly recommends the chocolate moose and traditional cheesecake. Fresh homemade Sangria is another must as a few glasses allow patrons to feel as if they are relaxing on the Mediterranean!
As it is the only Spanish restaurant in Dalian Tapas attracts a wide variety of costumers, from local and visiting businessmen to students and travelers from around the world. The friendly atmosphere and authentic décor adds to the ambience to make Tapas a must-visit locale for any visitor to Dalian.
Tapas restaurant is located on Sheng Li Street, close to the Russian Custom Street and easy to find from Zhong Shan Square in the centre of Dalian. After crossing Victory Bridge you will find Tapas on your left, just look for the bull sign.

Port on the Water is one of Shenyang’s largest and most well known restaurants. This place has a great atmosphere, and delicious, fresh seafood. The restaurant is HUGE, and has several large seating areas, as well as many private rooms. They also use the “point and order” method for choosing food, so it’s very convenient for the linguistically challenged. It's not a bargain restaurant, but it's a bit cheaper than some other top-quality seafood places. The food is fresh and prepared very well, and there is a great selection. Plan on spending 50-100 yuan per person, but of course choosing expensive delicacies such as lobster, abalone, shark fin, or sea cucumber, could make the bill much higher.
Location: The restaurant is at the intersection of sān jīng jiē(三经街) and wén yì lù (文艺路), 1 km north of San Hao Street Computer City. Tell a taxi driver “shuǐ shàng yú gǎng.” There is an enormous neon sign that says “水上渔港”, you can’t miss it.

Both visitors to Shenyang and foreigners who live here could easily pass Ma Lu Wan, literally translated as “road bay”, without noticing its existence. If you live in Shenyang, you’ve almost certainly passed it. Ma Lu Wan is basically an intersection where buses leave for several destinations around Shenyang.
Catch a bus from Ma Lu Wan to Shenyang Botanical Gardens (植物园, zhí wù yuán), Qipan Shan scenic area (棋盘山风景旅游区 qí pán shān fēng jǐng lǚ yóu qū), East Tomb (东陵, dōng líng), Taoxian Airport, and Shenyang Ocean World. Ask one of the bus drivers which bus to take to your destination, or click on the links above for more information.
Location: Ma Lu Wan is at the intersection of Zhong Hua Lu(中华路) and Heping Da Jie (和平大街) about 1 km east of the south train station. Bus routes 240, 103, 296, 225, 246, 138 all stop by the intersection.

Voting and voting registration
Birth registration
Notarization

Shenyang is well serviced by long distance buses, but the bus system is much less organized than the trains, so it can be difficult to find accurate schedules and information. The good news is that for most major destinations, buses leave regularly throughout the day and are seldom sold out. Unless you’re traveling during the New Year’s holiday, seats should be available.
Shenyang has one main long distance bus station, as well as several smaller ones. Buy tickets inside the station, or from any of the seemingly random people selling tickets. Buying tickets from the people outside may seem a bit dodgy if you’ve never done it before, but they can actually be quite helpful, as the schedule inside the station may not be convenient for you. The buses outside the station are generally just as legit as the ones inside, so don’t worry about it.
North Station Long Distance Bus Station 北站长途汽车客运站 (běizhàn chángtú qìchē kèyùn zhàn) This is the most useful station for long-distance travel.
Location: This station is on Huigong jie (惠工街) just east of Huigong Square (惠工广场, huì gōng guǎng chǎng) and just south of the North Train Station. Any of the following bus routes stop at the station: 247, 115, 291, 295, 4357, 265, 250, 228, 292, 269, 328, 228, 229, 611. Taxi drivers will know it as " běi zhàn qì chē zhàn."
This station has buses leaving regularly for most major destinations in the northeast, including Beijing, Changchun/Jilin, Harbin, Dalian, Dandong, and Huludao. For those planning to go to less frequented locations, I recommend inquiring in advance about bus schedules.
South Station Long Distance Bus Station 南站长途汽车客运站 (nánzhàn chángtú qìchē kèyùn zhàn)
Location: This station is on Shengli Jie (胜利街), directly across the street from Shenyang Train Station (south station).
This station has buses leaving regularly for most major locations. If you can speak and/or read Chinese, you can buy tickets from one of the dozens of people holding signs outside the station. Otherwise, buy tickets at the ticket window inside. Those headed to Benxi (本溪) or Fushun (抚顺) can find buses parked nearby on Min Zhu Lu (民主路). Tickets cost only 7-10 yuan.
WuAi Bus Station 五爱车站 (wǔ ài chēzhàn)
Location: At the WuAi Market .
Buses leave from here to cities all around Liaoning Province, including Benxi, Anshan, Dalian, and more.
