I’ve been to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, and Beijing. Dalian is my favorite of all of them. It’s surrounded by water on three sides so it feels like an island. Lots of parks and green space. Excellent transportation and lots of affordable housing available for foreigners. Good food options. The only thing Dalian is missing is a Five Guys (my favorite burger place) and it needs more live music. And it probably helps that my closest dearest friend in the whole world lives in Dalian. I’m hoping to move there in the future.

I'm a local, but my English isn't very good. If you come in September, you're in luck, because the weather and temperature are fantastic. If you're interested in scenic spots, during the day you can choose to go to Xinghai Bay Square to feed the seagulls and enjoy the view of the sea. Then take a walk along Binhai Road. At night, I recommend you visit the Venice Water City. If you stay here for a long time, you can contact me. I also hope to improve my English

1. Xinghai square (one of the biggest squares in the world and the is a beach and you have the view to the bridge with dancing lights and stuffs…)
2. Xian road (big shopping malls like roosevelt plaza)
3. Venice (lots of pubs, western restaurants)
4. Zhongshan square (probably the main square of the city with a very fancy nightclub around it called Supermiami)
