1.0 Facts about Dalian
Dalian is the governing sub-provincial city in the eastern
Liaoning Province of Northeast China. It is China’s northernmost ice-free seaport. One of the most dynamic cities in China, the Dalian administrative district today consists of Dalian proper and the smaller Lüshunkou
(formerly Lüshun city, known in Western and Russian historical references as Port Arthur), about 40 nautical miles farther along the Liaotung/Liaodong Peninsula.
Historical references note that the Russian-designed city of Dalny (alt. Dalney), on the south side of Talien Bay was 40 rail kilometres from Port Arthur/Lüshun (known today as Lüshunkou or, literally, Lüshun Port).
Dalian is located west of the Yellow Sea and east of
Bohai Sea, roughly in the middle of the
Liaotung/Liaodong Peninsula at its narrowest neck, or isthmus. With a coastline of 1,906 kilometres, it governs the entire peninsula and about 260 surrounding islands and reefs. It is south-southwest of the Yalu River, and its harbour entrance forms a sub-bay known as Dalian Bay.
