Dalian guide

Dalian: the seaside city of the north

Coastal drives, Xinghai Square, Russian and Japanese architecture and fresh seafood.

Dalian, at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, is known as one of China's most pleasant coastal cities, and the Binhai Road, a coastal drive along cliffs and beaches, is its most cited experience. Xinghai Square, one of the largest city squares in the world, opens onto the sea.

Russian Street and the Japanese-era buildings of Zhongshan Square recall the city's history, and Lüshun, with its forts, is a short drive south. Dalian's seafood is famous, and summer brings mild, breezy days.
