Dear Maikel,
It will take about 12 hours by train and it costs about US$60 for the soft sleeper per person. They are overnight train. I think you will be tired and maybe it'll be inconvenient for you as there are so many people at the train station. You need to take your baggage into or from the train by yourself. It's comfortable to take a flight.
Hi Nigel
First take Lvshun to Zhanbei square bus(旅顺到站北广场) at Lvshun Baihuo shopping mall(百货大楼），take 2hours, cost CNY5. Then transfer to NO.801 bus at People square(人民广场）to city center of Dalian, take 0.5hour, cost CNY2.
Or you could take train to Dalian at Lvshun train station, take 1.5 hours and cost CNY7.

Dear Boman Misch,
We can not book the bus ticket for you. I suggest you book it at the bus station directly. It is about 830km between Beijing and Dalian, if you take a bus, it takes about 10-11 hours at least. It's not comfortable and safe. You can take a train or a flight.
You could take the bus at Dalian Beigangqiao Bus station to Dangdong, it is available every one hour from 4am to 2pm, duration for 4.5-5 hours, price from CNY65 per person. Note: the price or schedue might vary without prior notice.
