Camp David Bar: Somewhat Dysfunctional
Greatwalk0 Says: "Camp David" is one of the hottest night spots in Dalian. Named after the US Presidential retreat, Camp David is a great place to sit back and have a beer after work. Always crowded after 8:00 PM and with a very friendly owner and bar staff, this bar always makes for an...

ctietbohl Says: The 2nd best way around Dalian, is to take a taxi. Ask your concierge to tell the driver where you want to go, and get a card from the concierge telling a cab driver to take you back to your hotel. very easy. By the way, the best way to get around is to walk. Just remember...

Be careful when eating seafood
meteorologist1 Says: You will see lots of seafood stands around Dalian, and it is tempting to try some seafood, like grilled fish or squid. Sometimes you can get pretty bad diarrhea from eating the seafood, because unlike the locals, your stomach can't handle it. And don't try any seafood raw if...

RoseAmano Says: As Shenyang Station is modelled upon Tokyo Station, you can compare and see here Dalian Station is modelled upon Ueno Station (the 2nd major train terminal in Tokyo).
