Hi Sam, thank you for your questions. This is Nora, a trip advisor of China Highlights. Glad to offer you some information. There are direct buses from Dalian to Bingyugou. The buses usually set off in front of Dalian Train Station or Dalian Beigangqiao Bus Station. It takes about 2-3 hours to get Bingyugou and the ticket costs CNY22-40/person. Usually one-day tour to Bingyugou is enough.

Wish you a nice journey!
