Sandy beaches, stretches of lush greenery, landscaped gardens, breathtaking mountains and clean air all contribute to the exceptional and serene beauty of Dalian, China.
Ubiquitous shopping, restaurants and a decent night life have led locals to dub this coastal city of 5 million (which is small, by Chinese standards) the "Hong Kong of the North."
Tour the city's Zhongshan Square to marvel at the classic and imposing Russian and Japanese architecture. The Lushun district is home to the famous, magnificent and panoramic Port Arthur, adjacent to the historical downtown area, and should not be missed.
The cluster of beaches serve as nice vacation spots where you can relax in the sun and take a dip.
This seaside city is also home to many parks and gardens. The Donghai Park along the beachfront in the downtown area is one of the most famous parks in the region.
