A cheap air ticket from Beijing to Dalian does not cost that more than the train ride. Last year, my parents, all three of my kids, and I flew from Beijing to Dalian. We spend 4 days there, having a wonderful time.
Dalian's temperature in July is around 70-75. The ocean wind is a little chilly, so bring a jacket or sweater is a good idea.
Avoid the small eating places along the ocean. They are dirty, and are not really cheap. Go to mid-priced restaurants. People in Dalian are generally honest and warm. At least that was my impression of Dalian locals.
Seafood in Dalian is plenty and inexpensive, compared to Beijing. We ate a lot, yummy...
