You know what annoys the hell out of me as a traveler? When people talk ABOUT the stuff they did, but never explain WHERE it is or HOW to get there. It leaves me searching the internet in vain for hours upon hours. So this blog is dedicated SOLELY to getting to the land sled as we had quite the interesting time doing so.
The Dalian Land Sled starts up by the Dalian sightseeing tower and ends in the amusement park section of Labor Park (the one with the giant soccer ball). It turns out that it's necessary to ride a cable car up the mountain to get to the slide (you purchase the ticket at the bottom). In Pinyin labor park is Laodong Gongyuan, which is in Zhongshan district and just to the west of the China Unicom building.
Enter Labor Park from the east side and walk to your left until you find a bunch of amusement park rides. The cable car is nestled toward the back, the ticket office is just to the right of it. On Google maps, the land sled shows up but it's: "Fusi Te Huadao Dalian China".
As to what bus to take, there are no English bus maps in Dalian. Just put your current location into google maps and ask it the best way to go, it's almost always spot on. The marker below is of the cable car entrance.
In my next post I will talk about the land sled. Worth it unless you're on a China budget.
