Dalian Travel Guide

Dalian (Simplified Chinese: 大连; Traditional Chinese: 大連; Hanyu Pinyin: Dàlián; Japanese: Dairen; Russian: Далянь, Dalian or Дальний, Dalny) is the governing sub-provincial city in the eastern Liaoning Province of Northeast China. Dalian is also China's northernmost ice-free seaport. Dalian, compared to ancient capital cities such as Beijing, Xian, Nanjing or Luoyang, is a young city with only a 100-year history. Originally established by Russia, then later occupied by Japan, Dalian has a long history as an international sea port supporting commerce and tourism from Japan, Korea, and other traditional Asian regions for over a century. However, in recent years there has been a gap in services for visitors from native English-speaking countries.

Situated at the tip of China's Liaodong Peninsular, it is a trading and financial center in northeastern Asia and has gained the name the 'Hong Kong of Northern China'.

Dalian is the center of foreign trade in Liaoning Province as well as the second largest international commercial harbor in China. It is one of those rare cities that has the look of a major metropolitan hub, but the mindset of an island resort. Wth a mountainous panoramic beauty encircled by beaches and host to year-round festivals, the many attractions of Dalian are all just a few minutes from historic downtown.

Dalian is a very popular destination among Chinese tourists. Its mild climate and multiple beaches make it an especially nice place to visit during the summer. Some of the most famous beaches are Tiger beach, Xinghai beach, Jinshitan beach and Fujiazhuang beach.

Tiger beach is a good place to see natural scenery. There are Seabed World, Bird Sing Wood. Xinghai beach is next to the Xinghai Park. It is about 800m long and is an excellent for swimming.

Jinshitan beach, the Golden Pebble Beach is a tourist attaction with splendid coves and rock formations. There's also a golf course, cross country motorcycling, an amusement park and a hunting forest. It's a good place for someone who wants silence and peace and it's excellent for swimming too.
