Dalian Travel Guide: 278 reviews and 445 photos

For me Dalian was one of two very positive surprises when I visited China during my trip in 2004. I have to admit, I visited this city just because I wanted to keep my promise, to meet Susan, a very good friend.
Now I can say, it was a great idea to go there. I even fell in love in Dalian BEFORE my girlfriend Yanzhi and I arrived there. We arrived in the night and the view over Dalian from the airplane was amazing.
This city is also very clean and modern, the people are very friendly and ... if you love to eat seafood, in Dalian you have a big choice.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Clean. And a lot of seafood (for ppl who love to eat seafood)
Cons:Too much seafood. At east for me!
