Dalian is one of China's most famous tourist destinations - and with good reason. Looking for budget accommodation, I found an online store that not only sold discount tickets to tourist sites, but also helped with hotel bookings. Furnished apartments are popular in Dalian, lying in the southern part of Liaoning Province in China's Northeast, and my girlfriend and I picked one complete with kitchen, bathroom, and a washing machine, for just a few hundred yuan per night.
I woke up to the tender caress of a gentle breeze. I had nodded off on a sofa that sat facing the sea in the Jinhaitan( Resort on Guanglu Island, one of many small islands scattered around Dalian.
Dalian has many tourist destinations and the Dalian Tourism Bureau has a wealth of information for travelers at http://www.dltour.gov.cn/.
The Dalian Development Area (DDA), one of the first State-level economic and technological development zones approved by the State Council, is now at the forefront of economic development in northeast China's Liaoning province.
Xiaoyaowan, a planned central business district in Dalian, is expected to become a new economic growth engine in the Liaoning coastal economic zone because of its advantages in policies, industries, ecology, transportation and culture.
With its many nationally famous hi-tech enterprises and proven pool of talented professionals, Zhongguancun Haidian Science Park (HSP) has now been approved by the central government to build the nation's first "model and core base" for innovation.
Crucial to the nation's first State-level hi-tech development zone, Zhongguancun Haidian Science Park (HSP) became known as "China's Silicon Valley" after it was founded 20 years ago, and is now home to more than 16,000 technology-based enterprises.
With a small brook running through it and served only by a two-lane road, it was a neighborhood that was home to some of the nation's top universities.
A key part of the nation's development strategy to further open up Liaoning's coastal economic zone and the local government's initiative to revitalize the old industrial centers in northeast China, work began on the Xiaoyaowan International Business Center on the last day of 2008.
More Chinese investment in Latin America will help enhance the region's competitiveness in the global economy, says Erik Bethel, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SinoLatin Capital.
Sitting in his office, he comes across as any other CEO, constantly interrupted by phone calls and visitors. But his staff betray his identity when they address him as "Dashi" or Ambassador.
In April this year an exhibition by a Chinese artist became the talk of the art world in Paris. Visitors to the gallery showcasing his work were said to be entranced by his works raw, natural and vivid power, seeing it as having an underlying universality whilst simultaneously being deeply Chinese in its idiosyncrasy.
