Although it is possible to find these items it is tough and usually more expensive. Bring tampons and deoderant! You can find tampons in Dalian at places like Watson's in Parkland Mall or Mycal, both right by Swisshotel. Deoderant is more of a challenge though. My advice, bring them with you. Leave a Comment

 typical toilet outside
the hotel by ctietbohl
It gets really cold in Dalian, but starts warming up in late April. Expect Boston or New York City weather.
Take all toiletries and prescriptions. We found some toiletries in Walmart (located in front of the football stadium) and in Carrefour's (ask your concierge to tell the taxi driver to take you there). The only Tampons we found were in the glass mall, ground level, directly east of the Swissotel. Carry toilet paper with you! there is none in the bathrooms! see photo
We took a 35mm and digital camera and laptop computer. I downloaded my pictures to the computer, and we got our film developed at the photo shop in front of wal-mart entrance(below ground level) so as to not have the film ruined by x-ray machines.
It was too cold for us to go to the beach, we were there between March and the middle of May.
My plus size wife could not find any clothes or shoes to fit her. lucky me! I took a coat with removeable sleeves, so that I could wear just a vest on warmer days. Leave a Comment
