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!

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...

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...!

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.

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.
