Itinerary description

Labour Park is a large park in central Dalian city. During February 2017 the streams and ponds were frozen over, and the children's snow park and beginners ski run were very active. The chair lift up to the summit was running but without many customers. This chair lift and the water slides back down are well suited for summer activity. This track was made around the time of a full moon festival, so there are lots or red lanterns and other related decoration.

Waypoints

Starbucks, Burger King, etc

Located at the NE Corner of the park, across from the Kapinsky Hotel.

East Park Entrance

Open gate The rooster there is from the recent Chinese New Year holiday - Year of the Rooster

Frozen stream and lotus ponds

A frozen stream and several large lotus ponds (February 2017). Groups gather to do games and exercises. Two were practicing Chinese Opera in a secluded pavilion.

Rock gardens

A secluded forested area with artistic rock displays.

Bamboo groves

Flower beds here must be nice in the spring, summer, and autumn. There appear to be late autumn roses.

Central Park Avenue

There are Chinese zodiac symbols in Bronze along the central access into the park

Downhill skiing

This is a beginners or learners hill. There are instructors. Mostly children on hill. Possible to maintain a good speed going down. The lift is unlike anything I've seen in the west, very slow moving and easy to ride.

Park Access

South park access, view point

Forest tracks

From the south access point, there are forest trails that lead to the chairlift and Ferris Wheel areas

Chairlift Base Station

The lift was running in winter, but hardly any customers. It is popular in summer and when there is a water slide going back down. The Ferris Wheel was not turning in February 2017, probably no customers in winter.
