<content:encoded><![CDATA[Dalian as in Shandong? Nice place - good seafood (port city). Strong German & Japanese presence. Winters are a bit chilly. Pay is MUCH higher than Yunnan (or should be) - but comes with a higher cost of living (courtesy of the strong Japanese/German presence).]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I lived there for a while. What's noteworthy about the place:

Very marked seasons. Summer is much hotter and more humid than Kunming. Winter is freezing, but it's tolerable. The heat seemed to come on everywhere at some predetermiend date, and it couldn't be adjusted in buildings. It just came on one November day and went off some time in March. In between, the furnaces made it so hot inside we sometimes opened our windows to the winter air just to keep it comfortable inside.

The city is very hilly. There were very few cyclists on the roads, and the bike lanes were paltry by Chinese metropolis standards.

People were quite nice and civilized. I hesitate to write this, but from my observation it's a stereotype rooted in reality. Compared to Kunming, the traffic was much more orderly, there was less spitting and shouting, and in general people seemed more conscious of public space. 

Many places in the city smelled like rotting fish—because many places in the city quite literally were covered in rotting fish. Seafood vendors set up shop on any sidewalk and restaurants threw out their garbage with a mind to convenience rather than sanitation. 

Very few beaches had public access. They were among the stinkiest places in the city, so most of them you wouldn't want to walk on anyway. There were some nice beaches but they were gated and expensive to enter.

The local accent is very pleasant. This is subjective, but I really enjoyed the locals speaking more or less the same dialect as the people on my Putonghua tapes.]]></content:encoded>
