Dalian Tour

Dalian Tour map Dalian is the governing sub-provincial city in the eastern Liaoning Province of Northeast China, facing Shandong to the south and the Yellow Sea to the east and the Bohai Sea to the west and south. Dalian is southernmost city of Northeast China and China's northernmost (still warm water) seaport. Dalian is the second largest city of Liaoning Province, and has a long history of being used by foreign powers as a port. The city made international news headlines in July 2010 when two oil pipelines exploded, releasing thousands of gallons of oil which flowed into the nearby harbour and the Yellow Sea.

One of the most heavily developed industrial areas of China, the Dalian administrative district today consists of Dalian proper and the smaller L¨¹shunkou (formerly L¨¹shun city, known in western and Russian historic references as Port Arthur), about forty nautical miles farther along the Liaodong Peninsula. Historical references note that the Russian designed city of Dalny (Alt. Dalney), on the south side of Talien Bay was 40 kilometers from Port Arthur/L¨¹shun (known today as L¨¹shunkou or literally, L¨¹shun Port).

Dalian is located west of the Yellow Sea and east of Bohai Sea roughly in the middle of the Liaodong peninsula at its narrowest neck or isthmus. With a coastline of 1,906 km, it governs the entire Liaodong Peninsula and about 260 surrounding islands and reefs. It is seated at south-south-west of the Yalu River, and its harbor entrance forms a sub-Bay known as Dalian Bay.
