Dalian has become the most important trading and financial center in northeastern China, and is rapidly becoming known as the “Hong Kong” of the north. Dalian, situated at the tip of China's Liaodong Peninsular, is also known for its distinct Russian colonial architecture and breathtaking skyscrapers. It is also regarded by many as one of Chinas’ cleanest cities. With a wide array of entertainment options, an abundance of local sights to visit and the chance to learn mandarin in a city where it is spoken in one of its purist forms, Dalian is an excellent place to spend a week or a year studying Chinese.
Dalian is less reliant on heavy industry than most Chinese cities, especially in northeast China, and the heavy industry that is there is mostly located in the development zone far outside the city centre. This, combined with the city's many parks and green hills, wide thoroughfares and army of street cleaners, makes Dalian a more pleasant city to visit and live in than most Chinese cities of comparable size.
Though most of the tourist industry in the city is targeted at the domestic, rather than international market, overseas tourists still find plenty to do in the city. The large number of foreign businesses and the numerous foreign students and teachers at the city's many universities ensure that there's plenty of businesses (from upmarket hotels to bars and coffee houses) that cater to the overseas market.
