Dalian (China)
Dalian is a large city in northeast China, located in Liaotung at the tip of the peninsula close to the Korean peninsula. At the time of the Russian Empire Dalian has been part of the Trans-Siberian Railway and it has a major port and an industrial zone. Since the 1980s, however, the city has begun to develop in a better direction and became a combination of a number of parks and green hills, which make the city much more pleasant than the majority of the big Chinese cities. The main attractions are the city's squares and parks, as well as the colonial buildings, bulit by the Russian and the Japanese authorities. The city also has a couple of larger beaches with fine sand. The local beer festival, which is organized at the turn of July and August, is also worth experiencing.
