Things to do in Zhoushuizi International Airport
Dalian is one of China's most livable and cosmopolitan coastal cities, with a distinctive character shaped by Russian and Japanese colonial-era planning — wide European-style squares, tree-lined boulevards, and a breezy Yellow Sea location. The Sun Asia Ocean World is one of China's best aquariums. Tiger Beach Ocean Park and the Russian Street (Éluosi Fengqing Jie) are popular stops, and Dalian's seafood is exceptional — sea cucumber, abalone, and Pacific scallops from this stretch of the coast rank among the country's finest.
