Every lunar May 5th is the Dragon Boat Festival. It is traditonal chinese fest to commemorate an patriotic poet 'Qu Yuan' of Chu dynasty.

People eat 'Zong Zi' in this fest. Normally it is made of sticky rice and Chinese date. But now there're also many other kinds of stuffing, such as meat , sticky yellow rice or other nuts.

Dalian's trams welcome 21st century tourists

by Confucius

"A look at the new tram in Dalian"

Dalian is upgrading its old tram system with new light rail trains. If you are a fan of the old trams, then you might want to visit Changchun or Hong Kong.

"One of the oldest tram lines in China"

Dalian was one of the first cities in China to have a tram line back in 1909. As recently as 2001 it was still possible to ride these old trams for a brief tour of the city.
However they became too costly to maintain and Dalian will have a whole new system ready by 2007.
