China is a favourite tourist spot and welcomes millions of visitors each year. There’s the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and countless number of temples, palaces and museums to visit. You can spend years exploring the country, experiencing its rich culture and tasting its delicate cuisine and still come across something that takes you by surprise. Dalian maybe one of those surprises. And as far as surprises go, they don’t get much better than this.
A part of the Northeast province of Liaoning, Dalian manages to be an urban hub while still retaining the laid back lifestyle found in an island getaway. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the city is surrounded by sea on three sides, and has some lovely beaches. Or maybe it’s because, come spring, the city explodes in a display of natures wonders. It might have something to do with the friendly locals and the leisurely pace they like to follow. But whatever the reason, Dalian is the perfect place to sit back, relax and enjoy.
The city is filled with enough sights and activities to satisfy all travellers. Visit Dalian and indulge in some of the finest shopping options, taste some of the most tantalising delicacies and witness some of the most breathtaking monuments- like the Xinghai Square, which was built to commemorate the rejoining of Hong Kong. The name means ‘Sea of Stars’ and is derived from the shape of the centre of the square.
Xinghai Square occupies an area of 45,000 square meters and is surrounded by Dalian’s major attractions. In close proximity, you can find a beautiful beach, an aquarium and the Xinghai Convention and Exhibition Centre. The Square is the focal point of many events and celebrations, including the Dalian International Fashion Festival, the International Beer Festival and the Spring Fireworks Festival.
As far as accommodation is concerned, a serviced apartment Dalian, such as Somerset Harbour Court, is always a popular choice. The apartments are located near railway and bus stations, as well as Dalian’s many tourist attractions. And due to its closeness to the business district, the apartments are also favoured by business travellers. In addition to taking care of day to day chores, these luxury serviced apartments Dalian offer complete privacy, which makes it the ideal place to relax and rejuvenate.
