Dalian - China's Hong Kong of the North

In our last video about Dalian China's coastal city in Liaoning province, we mainly focussed on the city centre and found lots of influences in its infrastructure.
This time we thought we would delve deeper and asked a Dalian local for help to see the other side of the city. Our great friend Phoebe showed us some of her favourite places to visit. Make sure to add Dalian to your bucket list!
This is the other side of Dalian.

    It's a pity that you couldn't visit beautiful Dalian on a sunny day. Maybe you can go to Dalian again next summer, on a sunny summer day with the comfortable sea breeze. Dalian is one of the only cities in China that is not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer.

    Dalian girl here! I can confirm driving in my hometown makes people nervous (if you are not used to driving a manual car in hilly area) with endless roundabouts with one direction exit, if you get the wrong exit , you are F.ed. And now we have the bridge, it doesn’t help with my dad sitting next to me laughing and mocking at me, lol ! And the Lexus gives me sooooo much Dalian uncle vibe( yes, my uncle has one , it is really popular among that generation). Although i left DL longtime ago, it is always my 1st layer of identity.

    Dalian is very developed. The city infrastructure and view is definitely top 10 in China, or even top 5. Everyone knows that its GDP is purely a political issue because its famous former mayor defeated in the duel. Since 2012, Dalian had almost zero investment, zero loan, zero project, and its GDP has been artificially reduced for the past 10 years while all of other Chinese cities' GDP increased considerably ... So, Dalian's GDP does not reflect its real rank in the country.
