Dalian, Port city in Liaoning, China
Dalian is a port city at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, stretching along the shores of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The city connects multiple districts with beaches, parks, and commercial areas along its coastline.
The settlement evolved from a fishing village named Qingniwa into a Russian-controlled commercial port in 1898, later experiencing Japanese administration until 1945. After World War Two, the city returned to Chinese control and grew into a major economic center.
The central district features European-style buildings around Zhongshan Square, while local restaurants serve regional seafood specialties from the surrounding waters.
The city maintains an efficient transportation network with buses, metros, and trams, connecting major districts and providing access to beaches and parks. Summer brings warm temperatures and ocean breezes, while winter is cool but harbor activities remain visible year-round.
The city's forest zoo spans extensive grounds where visitors can observe Northeast Asian wildlife through glass-bottom cable cars suspended above animal enclosures. The city hosts an international fashion festival each September, drawing designers and visitors from many countries.
