Dalian, China

Dalian enjoys a privileged stature as one of China’s most livable cities. Its picturesque setting and numerous parks help to create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Throughout its long history, several foreign nations called it their own, thanks to its strategic position on the Liaodong Peninsula on Korea Bay. The British and Japanese each controlled the port at various points, and Russia built a port city here at the turn of the 20th century due to the bay’s ice-free waters. Today, a relaxed manner prevails in this city of modern skyscrapers and colonial gems.
