If you are still wondering where to go for next summer, Dalian is undoubtedly a fine resort for you. Perched on the very south end of Liaodong Peninsula, nurtured by the Yellow Sea, Dalian is a vibrant cosmopolitan city that houses mild climate, picturesque coastline and wealthy culture. It is the most lively and carefree tourist destination in Northeast China.
Dalian is a fine place to unwind for a few days. Tree-lined hilly streets with manageable traffic and fresh air, a surfeit of early-20th-centurty architecture and an impressive coastline with swimming beaches make the city a charming destination for domestic and international tourists. Besides, Dalian International Fashion Festival is held in September every year. Fashion lovers cannot miss the promotions at the shopping malls every year from November to January.
Today, a financial, shipping and logistics centre for Northeast Asia, Dalian also has a significant history of being used by foreign powers for its ports. If you are a fan of Chinese history, the nearby port town of Lvshun is hosting a party for you. The most sites there are related to military history for it has been a focal point of both Japanese and Russian expansion during 19th and early 20th centuries.
