STAYING IN DALIAN

Dalian is a thoroughly modern metropolis that revels in its dual roles as a resort town and a thriving trade and financial hub. Dalian manages to retain its Chinese sensibilities while letting the world in - a surprising number of the locals speak English and you'll find plenty of Western-style supermarkets as well as traditional wet markets to purchase your everyday needs. While the winters in Dalian are typically cold, they're much more mild compared to cities further inland and the spring and summer months are idyllically warm and pleasant. Step outside your serviced apartment to experience beachside fun and some breathtaking coastal walks.

Speaking of outdoors pursuits, Dalian's locals are football mad and with good reason. The city's previous home team, Dalian Shide, won the Chinese national competition no less than eight times. During your stay in our Dalian hotel, don't miss out on the opportunity to catch Dalian's current pro football team, Dalian Professional F.C. in action at the club's home ground, Jinzhou Stadium. For those travelling on business to Dalian, the city's modern infrastructure including the Dalian metro makes getting around between meetings easy.
