One thing I really love about Dalian is the climate. It’s never too hot in summer nor too cold in winter. And because of that a great number of outsiders have chosen to settle down in Dalian, which actually improves the local economic development. Dalian has four distinct seasons and personally I find Dalian most attractive in summer. Almost every summer my family and I would go to the sea and swim. The dazzling sunlight, the hot sand, the sound of waves and the smell of barbecue, everything just makes you feel so alive.
Dalian is also a nice city for tourism. If you love animals, you can always go to the city zoo which has a large variety of animals including pandas, or you can watch a dolphin show in a polar marine animal museum. If you’re interested in architecture, the Russian street might be worth seeing. And if all you want is to try some decent local food, there are restaurants that serve some really serious seafood which you just can’t miss. What’s more, we’ve got some interesting local festivals such as the Chinese international beer festival and the fashion festival. During beer festival, which is held in summer once a year, guests can enjoy all kinds of beers and snacks while watching performances. The fashion festival on the other hand is mainly about showing well-designed clothes alone with performances which I have to admit could be kind of boring.
Most natives of Dalian are passionate and hospitable. If you ask them the way to a place and it’s not far, the chances are they’re going to lead you there, or at least give you a detailed description to make sure you can get there. People of Dalian are usually simple and honest which sadly makes them bad businessmen, which is also why most rich people in Dalian are actually from other cities and sometimes the fact that these people are slowly taking over the city really bothers me. But who knows, maybe at the end of the day, these things won’t matter after all.
And here are some pictures of Dalian.
