Ji Hotel (Wafangdian Changxing Dao Economic Zone Store)
Chain reliability out at Changxing Dao, Wafangdian
About this hotel
This branch is a long way outside Dalian proper, and anyone considering it for an event at Dalian Sports Center should start from that fact rather than from the rate. Changxing Dao sits in the Wafangdian economic zone, beyond the reach of the metro network entirely, with a very long taxi run to Zhoushuizi International Airport and a longer one to Ganjingzi. What the property does deliver is the chain standard: a clean, predictable, air conditioned room with a front desk that works, in a district where the alternatives are unknown quantities. That is worth something to a traveller working through the industrial northeast on business. Fans staying here would be treating a fixture as a full-day expedition with a car, which is a real way to travel but not a comfortable one. Judge it as a business bed first and a matchday base a distant second.

- Business district
- Drivers only
Our take
Book this for work in the Changxing Dao zone, not for a fixture. The chain standard is exactly what it promises and the room will not disappoint anyone who knows the brand. Supporters heading to Dalian Sports Center should look at literally any of the city-side options instead, because this is beyond the metro, beyond easy taxis and a genuinely long drive from Ganjingzi in both directions.
- Only consider this one with a car, no rail or metro link reaches Ganjingzi from Changxing Dao
- Set off far earlier than you think for an evening kickoff, the drive is long in both directions
- Eat before you return, the economic zone offers very little once the working day ends
Why we love it
- Dependable chain standard in an industrial district
- Clean, predictable rooms with a working front desk
- Quiet nights with no event traffic at all
- Sensible base for business in the Changxing Dao zone
