The public bus system is quite good within Dalian city. It is quite convenient so far. It cost RMB1 for a single trip on those normal big buses and trams (exact change as no change will be given). Get a map from any stalls selling newspaper (RMB 2) and the bus routes will be detailed on the map. However, the map will be in Chinese (han yu).

Dalien bus system s good and easy to use. To go to the beach take the number 5 bus from Jiefang Lu.
Note; the bus starts and ends here so you need to get on on the "wrong" side of the road (north bound).
Bus costs 1 Yuan, you drop your money in the slot as you get on.
I recommend waiting for a double decker as then you can get a visit of Dalien included in your money!

- rate goes up after ?10:00 pm
- cheap compared to western prices but we only used them if late at night, had a lot to carry or a long way to go - used the buses most of the time
- 8 RMB gets you most places

- No daydreaming allowed here
- peds have no right a way
- there are no road rules followed
- cars back up around corners
- vechicles and bikes go wrong way on one ways
- walk lights mean nothing
LOOK TWICE IN EVERY DIRECTION AND CROSS WHENEVER IT IS SAFE

- when it is busy, people push to get on and butt in the line
- you can buy (at banks) a great card that acts as a pre-paid discount debit card that you scan in as you get on the bus instead of paying the exact change of 1 RMB. You pay a 30 RMB deposit and then can buy, I believe in 20/40 RMB. Save receipt so you can get your deposit back.
- buses run very frequently (every 5 minutes)
- buses stop about every 6 blocks, long blocks
- the #101 which is a bus that looks like two connected by an accordion in between - get on either the back or front door, exit at the middle doors. This bus runs along Huang He Lu
- be careful as some buses with the same number have a sign in the front (a box with two XX's) this bus does the short version of the route. ie #31

Please prepare some changes in advance for taxi fee or city bus cost in the staying in Dalian.

Dalian is the most important harbor city and industrial base in northeast China. It enjoys a well established transportation system that makes it very convenient to travel to Dalian from most domestic cities and even some international destinations.
By Air:
As a major city in northern China, Dalian has convenient air connection with most important domestic cities. The city also has regular flights to and from cities in Japan and South Korea.
By Train:
Although Dalian is linked to the national railway system, the city only has direct trains running to Beijing and most major cities in Northeast China, including Changchun, Shenyang, Qiqihar, Jilin and Harbin. For destinations in southern and western China, travelers might need to transfer via Beijing.
By Boat:
Dalian has regular passenger boat services to many cities. Besides the frequent fast ferry boats to Weihai and Yantai in Shandong Province, boats are available to Shanghai, Qinhuangdao and Inchon in Korea.
