Giant Turtle.

Guantanamera 502 reviews

Here is a photo of me lying on the back of a giant turtle at Dalian! This is the world's biggest turtle and he is very friendly...! He'll let you climb right up on his back and take you for a ride in the sea... In China, turtles are revered for their great longevity and in fact, this turtle is more than 3000 years old!

Elva at Zhongshan Square

Zhongshan Square is the central square of Dalian, and one of the biggest squares in the city, kind of like Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris, a large circle where many roads meet... Most of the buildings in this square are Russian style architecture, reflecting the heavy Russian influence and history in this region of China...

Guantanamera and elva199 at People's Square

People's Square, also called Renmin square in Chinese, was originally known as Stalin Square but the name was changed later for obvious reasons... There are many government administration buildings surrounding it... This square is also well known for the gorgeous Chinese policewomen who can be seen patrolling it...!

International Friendship Monument

Friendship Square is much smaller than nearby Zhongshan Square... It contains the giant spherical International Friendship Monument, which is lit up with colored lights at night... There are also a few shops and restaurants around the periphery of the square...

At Zhongshan Square there are also many big banks, and you can find an ATM machine... At night, the square is a very popular meeting place and many people come to listen to music and dance in the square...

In this photo, I am posing at Zhongshan Square, with the International Friendship Monument of nearby Friendship Square visible in the background...

Penguins.

The Pole Aquarium is a big aquarium with collections of polar bears, penguins, dolphins, sharks, and many other types of animals, birds and fishes, mostly from the very cold parts of the earth. It cost RMB90 for entrance. There’s also an animal show with dolphins and seal. It was the first performance when I went there, so it is not perfect yet.

It is popular destination for visitors from other parts of China.

people square

People Squre is the administration and judicature centre of Dalian. The buildings around are all built in Japan & Russia Period. Now they are the buildings of Dalian Government , Dalian Courthouse , Dalian Police Station, etc.
Whenever every important event, there will be a solemn Flag-raising ceremonial here. Music spring and pretty policewomen are the spotlight in People Square

Zhongshan Square, Dalian

Zhong Shan square is the biggest and earliest square in the centre of Dalian. It is the radiate centre of 10 main roads. The buildings around Zhong Shan square are mostly Russian style. It is also a music square and a good relaxing place for local people. Many young people play badminten and kick shuttlecock here.

Hai Zhiyun Square

Natural and artifical scene combine perfectly. Here is Hai zhiyun Square (also called Dong hai Park). One side is sea, the other side is mountain and with many attractive statuaries. Walking alone the bank, you can reach Binhai Road, Laohutan Scenic Park , Fu Jia Zhuang and Xing Hai Squre.
