In a region famed for its apple and cherry orchards lies the coastal city of Dalian. The city is one of China’s most heavily developed industrial areas and serves as an important international shipping center and logistics hub to North Asia.
Being an isthmus on the Liaoniang peninsular, Dalian is skirted on three sides by the sea. While beaches are largely inaccessible or non-existent due to the build out of port facilities and docksides, sand has been trucked in to provide a handful of beach areas. Unfortunately, a recent spate of oil and petrochemical spills has compromised the water quality considerably, making coastal swimming unadvisable.
The city’s considerable traffic congestion is enough to discourage any foreigner from owning a car. Fortunately, the public transport is highly efficient, if a little overcrowded. The streetcars that run through the avenues of city central are quick, efficient and great fun to ride. If you prefer to eschew the streetcars and buses in favor of a taxi, you’re in luck – they are abundant and cheap. While undulating terrain makes cycling around this city a challenge, electric bikes provide a readily available, silent and comfortable alternative.
Outside of office hours, Dalian offers plenty to see and do. The nearby temples are quite lovely and the surrounding mountains provide decent hiking (Forest Zoo, in particular). The city is punctuated with parks, open air markets and underground markets, and squares that often play host to impromptu fashion parades and ballroom dancing. An increasing number of bars and clubs provide locals and the growing expat community refuge from the bitterly cold temperatures and icy winds that drive residents indoors for most of the autumn, winter and spring.
As Dalian’s importance grows, so too does its cultural calendar. The city is noted for hosting the Dalian International Fashion Festival (Dalian is renowned for its beautiful women – a high percentage of Chinese models originate from this city); the festival to greet New Year; and the International Locust Watching Festival, among others.
What is special or unique about your city?
Dalian is the governing sub-provincial city in the eastern Liaoning Province of Northeast China. Dalian is China’s northern most ice-free seaport and considered one of China’s most liveable cities. The city is a very popular destination among Chinese tourists and foreign visitors, especially from Japan, Korea and Russia. Its mild climate and multiple beaches as well as its importance in the modern history of China makes it an especially nice place to visit. Some of the most famous beaches are Tiger beach, Xinghai beach, Golden Pebble beach and Fujiazhuang beach.
Dalian is one of the few cities in China where there are not many bicycles and few motorcycles, because the area is full of slopes and the sale of motorcycles is prohibited. The number of cars on Dalian streets has increased dramatically in recent years, causing traffic jams. The city has a comprehensive bus system and an efficient light rail mass transit system, referred to as Qinggui, which connects Dalian Development Zone and Golden Pebble Beach with downtown Dalian.
Dalian has a modern and recently (2009) expanded international airport, Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport, with direct flights to most major cities in China, and to selected cities in Japan, South Korea and Germany.
Xinghai Square, the Xinghai Conference Center, the Dalian World Expo Center and the hotels on Renmin road are places where Dalian’s major annual events are being held:
- Fireworks Displays (Chinese New Year, May _ 1 and October 1)
- Dalian International Walking Festival (May)
- Dalian Locust Flower Festival (May)
- Dalian International Marathon (June)
- China International Software & Information Service Fair (June)

- Dalian International Auto Show (August)
