by Guantanamera "Manchuria" is one of those names that suggests a place that Bob Hope and Bing Crosby should have traveled in one of their "road movies"... For Westerners, the word is instantly evocative of the exotic orient of the ancient past... A place from whence came the "yellow peril" of the "insidious Dr. Fu Manchu", or his evil descendents, Ming the Merciless, and the Mandarin with his Makluan rings... Of course, this Manchuria doesn't exist, it was only conjured up in ridiculous tales of propaganda... According to the BBC, Raymond Chandler once asked Ian Fleming why there is always a torture scene in every James Bond book. Fleming replied: "Well, you see, I suppose I was brought up on Dr. Fu Manchu and thrillers of that kind." Words like "Manchuria" carry terrific meaning in the depths of the mind... The real Manchuria was much much different, but no less fascinating... Leave a Comment

by Guantanamera Pictured here is a close-up of Elva's very cool shoe...! Elva is very fond of fashion, and in fact, many Chinese girls have a very creative and funky fashion sense... Most Chinese clothes are made in China, often by designers who give the clothes a unique and original touch...! The girls always dress so cute...! Leave a Comment

 Golden Pebble Beach by socrates_07 Golden Pebble Beach is north of Dalian and lies on the Yellow Sea in southeast of Liaodong. It covers a land area of 62 square km. This area is very popular for local people and if the weather is sunny and warm, you should go there. Unfortunately we had not such a good weather and the bus driver of our travel agency stopped there just for a short time. And he passed the sand beach without a stop. "We didnt pay for a break", he said. We just wanted to take photos but no chance. Leave a Comment

 Youhao Square by socrates_07 Youhao Square or Friendship Square is located between Renmin Square and Zhongshan Square, which is the business center zone in Dalian. In the night you will be impressed by the colourful light of the big, jewelly crystal ball. This ball is in the center of that square which is smaller than the other squares. Anyway, if you are not too far way you should go for a walk to the Youhao Square. The best time: In the dark to see the beautiful light of the crystal ball. Leave a Comment

 Xinghai Square by socrates_07 The Xinghai Square was the first square we visited after we arrived in Dalian. It was in the evening and almost no people. And more surprising, almost no traffic. At the weekend there is a lot of traffic. At least when we were there. All the time you can see the biggest and most expensive cars with wedding couples inside In my Nightlife tip you can see a photo of an iron sports sculpture. One of about 30 different. The Xinghai Square is the biggest square in Dalian. Leave a Comment

 Bangchuidao Beach by socrates_07 The first beach on the Binhai Lu is the Bangchuidao Beach. If you come from the Dong hai park. It was a wunderful beach but unfortunately it was the last day in Dalian. We still had some places to visit, otherwise I would have spend some hours at that beach. Leave a Comment

 Waxing Imagery Museum by socrates_07 A surprise was the visit at the Golden Pebble Waxing Imagery Museum. (actually for me almost everything during the sightseeing tour was a surprise. Ok, the guide of the tour told us where we will go. But in Chinese and I was the only Westerner on this sightseeing tour.) Of course you cant compare the Golden Pebble Waxing Imagery Museum with Madame Tussauds but it was a nice idea. Especially the wax copies of famous Chinese were great. Unfortunately it was forbidden to take photos. I almost kept that prohibition. Leave a Comment

 People Square by socrates_07 policewomen. Was it my fault if the weather was bad whenever I wanted to take photos from that square. Or if I had the wrong camera with me? No, it was just a COINCIDENCE that I went to Dalian's only square with Policewomen that often. Leave a Comment

 Laohutan Scenic Park by socrates_07 Lao hu means Tiger, tan means beach and the Lao hu tan Scenic Park lies on the Tiger Beach. That sculpture is composed of a group of tigers' images, located in the Tiger Beach Park. The white sculpture flashes different colors with the change of the sunshine. Leave a Comment

 Dong hai park by socrates_07 Also called Hai Zhiyun Square. One of my favorite area in Dalian. As I remember it costs around 40 RMB to enter that park but its worth to visit. There are a collection of old ships, nice scuptures, a pool with seals,... As I wrote in my transportation tips, I took the tram to get there. From this park we took a taxi for the Binhai Lu.
