About Dalian, tourists have little to pay attention to
(A)
User sent an e-mail, saying that he would soon go to Dalian, asked me if there is nothing to recommend it where distinctive architecture and so on. I know that he traveled to Dalian, who have read it several times in Dalian, he travels, know that he almost transferred all over the landscape of Dalian, also learned through his articles focus on observation of the destination he is very human person, so they approached him recommended to explore the humanities, Dalian necessary to the premises - Lushunkou District, and is located in downtown Dalian, the Japanese colonial era residential community.
End reply mail, I do not know why, there is a depressed feeling. Personally, I actually do not like to visit historical sites, and meticulous humanities, not for anything else, just because too far. However, since living in Dalian eleven years, for her history and culture have a point on the more or less common-sense understanding of, and those who tend to laugh it off most of the tourists who do not pay attention to the connection, so there will be a desire to write out.
I have always been disgusted with only the light travels through several times to jump to the conclusion of a city to do the definition of claims and Family Resource Centers, but also not good at words how I understand this is how I live in a place which for many years, I just can say, I like Dalian. Because of this like it also inadvertently took note of some of her past - there are still clear through her body on the left in the mottled scars, but some are documented in books and newspapers through the years as a pictorial history of information.
When in 1999, Dalian was held to build a grand city 100 anniversary celebration, remember that all units of the city's companies put a day off. But when it comes to Dalian where centuries-old actually came from the date this point, is quite controversial at the time, I did not go so far打破沙锅问到底. In any case, so to say, according to official statement, so far Dalian has 100 years of history. But I am really very sorry, in my eyes, the city has neither the so-called hundred years of history for her heart precipitated a profound knowledge of cultural heritage, there is no add on for her majestic beauty of antiquity Yiyun dignified, but did not What is left of her subjects worthy of showing off the attractions. Reveal the city's history, can see, in addition to shocking scars is the sweeping views of the colonial imprint.
Dalian is very small, urban areas, but more than 20 kilometers radius; plus Lushunkou District, an area of nothing but one hundred to one square km. Such a small place, but because it is landing from the sea must pass through the ports of the Liaodong Peninsula to become a battleground for centuries. So, in fact, she called the first half-century of historical and Dalian have been spiteful and cruel that in order to savage the Far East, known for trampling on neighbors without any compassion to aggression, plunder devastate, and once also once Rulangsihu The two neighbors vie for supremacy in a third country the battlefield. So until the 21st century now, the New China under the sun more than 50 years development and construction of new cities, which had served as the colonial history of traces of blood and tears are still everywhere, needless to say has served as a naval port in the Port Arthur, even in Dalian City does not charge even for a moment to look for.

Sea as a natural landscape, whether urban or Lushunkou District of Dalian are similar, while the Dalian recognized as the most beautiful seaside scenery are part of the coastal city of Dalian Road, Lot. I got to Port Arthur who have read most of the city of Dalian, where the sea and then Ben Zhao human landscape to go. And where the so-called attractions, in fact, they become a colony of naked evidence. So I guess people who play in Dalian, if only one or two days time, estimated that most would not consider Port Arthur like me - and to visit a heavy history, after all, relax and play with them is contrary to the style.
I have only been to one Port Arthur, but think it was fine ten years ago, I arrived in Dalian next summer, led to go along with his brother and cousin. Since then has had no been, they did not want to go, mostly because the bar due to a more pessimistic personality. But once you've been once, that place is actually very difficult to telling us to forget the.
Jiguanshan should be the main attractions of the Port Arthur - Russo-Japanese War, where is the battlefield site, but also the seat of the Russo-Japanese prison. In order to verify his own memories, I deliberately checked online about relevant information, confirm that the name of the local norms should be the "East Jiguanshan", but the locals is definitely called Jiguanshan's. I remember there is a Jiguanshan Fort, Fort attack on two Japanese artillery then Czarist Russia, is said to be manufactured in 1899, because the brother had climbed on top of camera and impressive. There's also one called "the Japanese blasting mouth" air defense sites, the cave was dug by the Japanese secret fortress blasting tsarist Russia to gain a decisive battle of victory to come back physical evidence. The year to visit those places, I can not understand no matter what happens, always believed that family problems can not be outside the Yang, the scandal of the past without fear of shelter and the Chinese people, why should those who prove themselves apart from the history of the humiliation suffered by There is no alternative to Introduction to the places of attractions open to visitors at home and abroad.
In all of the colonial legacy and the most shocking of all, the Russo-Japanese prison. Japan-Russia Prison also Jiguanshan, the reason is called the Japan-Russia Prison, is because that the prison was originally built by Tsarist Russia, Japan and Russia after the war was the Japanese victory over the expansion - simply the name suggests, taste out of is really laughing in the land has been alternating between the two countries invaders trampling of history. Japan-Russia Prison, there are numerous instruments of torture, with a body count, giving the seven prisoners bowl volume of different dishes, and so shocking evidence. It was the first one I visited the prison, so far also the last one, eerie atmosphere of suffocating, so I still are not willing to Zaiqu the second time.
North Korea's independence movement in the history of the patriotic heroes of An Jung-geun, was in November 1909 in Harbin single-handedly killed the then Japanese Ambassador to North Korea after the Governor Ito Hirobumi, he was held in Port Arthur prison until the following year in March, where he was hanged. Port Arthur prison, there is an emphasis on Japan-Russia roots lived cells, through a straw sandals, calligraphy and other posthumous, as well as to execute him to the gallows. An Jung in prison to complete his autobiography and a number of roots prose poetry, he is said to exquisite calligraphy, and even the Japanese are quite commendable. Both from a historical point of view whether the Governor is killed by an advance in essence the process of the Korean independence movement, in my mind the modern history of the Warriors has been from small to large is the real hero. My favorite saying is: Some things you do can only Jiaoren admiration. Whenever the aftertaste from the heart in this sentence, I always think of An Jung-geun.
Port Arthur Port Arthur River also known as a symbol of Bai Yushan, Bai Bai Yushan on a tower, climb to the top overlooking the panoramic view of the whole picture could be Port Arthur. Today, very few people seem to know that the tower formerly known as "Table loyalty tower" is after the Russo-Japanese War to commemorate the war dead Japs invading army built - like an inverted tower of the bomb, aimed at loyalty to the emperor the table for those who sacrifice their lives in a tree towers devils biographies. Later, when I do international trade, once heard a colleague talking about he has a collar on a Japanese client Port Arthur tourist, that devils tower standing on white jade even shamelessly said: that the city's scenery and the land so rich and beautiful, I am a few decades ago can be understood why the ancestors of aggression should be risked in the territory of your country! - Is simply shameless are staggering! I then asked that my colleagues: You do not spit him one ah? ! But That said, I guess for myself, only anger and nausea to but there will not be easy to spot on the spit devils one's courage.
About a decade to go before the Port Arthur, can not remember a lot of these places, but basically the main remarkable cultural landscape of Dalian. Furthermore, Lushunkou District also worth mentioning is the place with cherry blossoms and the famous Dragon King Tong. Dragon King said to the National Cherry Blossom pond is mostly rare, of which one is said to have been verified as the country's largest Kuo Mo-jo. The place is a matter of fact I have not been to. Every spring, there will be a friend invited me to accompany to the Port Arthur the Dragon King Pool to see cherry blossoms, I always say: do not! What are good-looking! Well not that a symbol of the colony! Ono, who was my good friend told me that she did not agree with my point of view, she thought that the flowers are flowers, can not under the kinds of flowers the Japanese ignores the appreciation of beauty. I think that she's reasonable. However, this year, 51 wife asked me to go to Port Arthur the Dragon King Tong Otherwise see cherry blossoms, I decided not to go, later still did not go.

Want to know the culture and history of Dalian, in fact, not even taken up Port Arthur and Dalian in the city there are many, many remnants of the colonial era. But those things are mixed in the new new thing in China, the already integrated into getting emancipated the daily lives of the people in this reason that seems increasingly to fade on the iconic nature of history as well as appearance - because in a century's circumstances years, those items have been refurbished as glossing over and over again. Lushunkou District is to Dalian, the city endured centuries of deep trauma wounds revealed mottled with naked posters, and Dalian city Queba bloodstain was filled entirely with knife-edge wrapped up with beautiful clothes, and refused to go into her heartland The casual tourist can not be people she had encountered Discovery profound suffering.
Earlier in Dalian was established star hotel, it seems that only the Nanshan Hotel is seldom known to outsiders, I guess one of the reason may be because she was a little farther away from the city center point. However, where the environment is a rare tranquil quiet tranquility - and that five floors of the hotel itself, there is no pressing so oppressively high, then there is a rare hotel spacious courtyard, courtyards, rows of ginkgo trees, ancient The hibiscus flower tree and many, many years of flowers and trees, you can also hear the birds and the crisp vitis, that apart from the courtyard outside the five-story main building is more than a dozen buildings scattered patchwork manner, maintaining the elegant separation two layers separate small building, then around the radius of 35 years and the hotel courtyard are all the same two-layer small building, where the street are tall and dense green belt, where next to the Botanic Garden has a tremendous fresh air - when to go once Nanshan hotels, most people would certainly love there. However, perhaps because very few tourists go there, not only a beautiful hotel that fame does not wang, but few outsiders know that such a historical fact: that the entire area of the entire piece a good piece of the two layers separate small building hundreds of buildings, they are colonial built during the Japanese residential community, the whole structure of Japanese-style wooden buildings, in addition to the external walls of repeatedly updated Baibashinian to which hardly changed.
Japanese Consulate in Dalian Nanshan Hotel is located back of a very hidden, very quiet place, then rented a small building built during the colonial period, it seems very modest, very unassuming, if not then hanging on the door startled the Japanese the national flag, it's hard to see that numerous small building to the one with the other What's the difference - as far as I know, in front of the Consulate is not eligible for hoisting the national flag, the Embassy only, for just graduated from university when I was still young rash Dalian Municipal Government had given written to a result, of course, fallen on barren ground dark and quiet no feedback.
In fact, in Dalian, in addition to the east of that area along Nanshan Hotel Nanshan Road, 77 Jiefang Street, extended to the north along the 55 Road, Chaoyang Street, extends to 38 square miles near the area outside the radius of 10, and into pieces of similar pieces into a large area stretching hundreds of dollars in 100 residential communities in Japan, there are several places. Shuttle in which time, beyond the control of the year you do not feel clear how small Japan is thinking about settling down and raising in Dalian. I always do not like to walk in that one area alone, in addition to the evening due to many years ago in that area drenched horrors of looting, the more important is the general sense of where the air remains a murderous aggressor.
This is for a while, where a street has been transformed, the original old wooden buildings in Japan have all been removed, but the address of the original re-established according to the original appearance of the reinforced concrete, the modernization of small building outside the tiling, and then put the the street from the original good to hear, "Fenglin Road" be renamed "Japanese style street," said house prices in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted. Nanshan Hotel recently have begun to transform, whose name have been changed to "Furama Nanshan Garden Hotel," has become the first once-in Dalian is also the only five-star hotel "Furama Hotel" and ancillary facilities. It seems so, there may also gradually without the original appearance, it may also become increasingly popular along the strong bar. Years later, probably nobody will remember, there has to be the colonial settlements.
Rather means that the reform and opening up land in Dalian, and now, there has been an emerging Japanese colony, the same is rarely outsiders to understand - far away from the old city of Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone, there is one called " Japan's industrial group to "area, where the dotted and lined with hundreds of已建和在建of Japanese companies, most of them are foreign-owned - Dalian number of foreign-funded enterprises in the country is not over, but so intense in Japan enterprises are distributed rates in the country is absolutely unique! The longitudinal comparison, the foreign enterprises in Dalian, Japan, the quantity of investment is far beyond the absolute superiority in the second place ranked top of the list. Standing Zone on the streets you look so casual a bar, Canon, Toshiba, Sony, toto, Fuji, TDK, Mabuchi, Kayoo Thailand ... These are the famous, those who are not famous, you Look at the door yard Zhuner hanging a red egg of the white flag has become ...
That child just graduated from university a while and did a few years of foreign trade. In fact, the so-called time, booming foreign trade, the vast majority of countries in addition to a variety of national treasure Let's alarming the international market at low prices to sell rare to casual non-Chinese passport holders of a dare to her door to a bold Dao Ye, the re - is the processing or processing with imported materials, an entry for one of the leaders at all levels sufficient to produce the huge face Youguangzengliang "exchange value" but in fact it is a pitiful earned a little bit of processing fees - a small Japanese Of course, no less fat咱cheap labor fortune. On one occasion led a Japanese customers to see processing plants, the old man in the car a little proudly told me that he was 6,7 years old when the came to China in very familiar and so on. It looks like devils more than 50 years of age, I have a calculation, he was a boy, is not Japanese invasion of China era? So the童言无忌without thinking Tao: So your parents definitely was the aggressor! At that time the cars were full of photos Yi Leng. For a long while, that the old man smiled at me embarrassed to say, aggression Well - it is a thing of the past! However, the innocent, I still come in a Buyiburao: But now you are carrying out economic aggression!
Want to come back to that time I was really young ah! Think about it, but customers ah! Lived to the present, already greatly reduced share of frank and vigor, and is no longer possible so frivolous manner to any persons or things relating to bonuses and sales then go straight to that make life difficult for the. Japan's economic aggression is still continuing, whether in Dalian, or in other places, but I still very disappointing to work in Japanese companies, not for anything else, just for a higher return than the state-owned enterprises. But a friend, you scold me, since up to now on the streets of Dalian, also ran Baibashinian former Japanese man-made tram.
Really, visited Dalian, a friend may be aware, Dalian and other cities have long colorful part of the phase-out of the tram. Dalian also know that people are not the tram all know that it was the Japanese devils made it? Know that the tram is the devils made of people who do not all know that it is very annoying, very hamper rail traffic order has never been vigorously municipal government ordered the building demolished reasons? I have heard, there is no textual research before, and that reason is to preserve the cultural characteristics of Dalian - but you do get to know the friends, what is culture? What are the characteristics? I did not get to know anyway if they had that.
In addition to the Japanese devils, the Lao Maozai Czarist Russia has also been rampant for a time in Dalian - Dalian, which means that they are also left behind some so-called exotic architectural features, which are more representative of the railway station north-east direction of a block , is said to all those hundred-year session of the old building, which was later turned into a street "Russian style a street", and later built in that the above mentioned "Japanese style street," echoed, is said to Dalian, the local tourist industry has become so hard to promote a new a new attraction.
When the whole city or even country in order to curry favor with the so-called Investment and the year when the aggressor, friends, you also not to mention my little woman working for Japanese companies is the lack of backbone of the. Tiandeliangxin, so far, I have never, as some people do, in order to please the devils away sue its own people like - so I always thought of myself called a righteous man, though not a saint nor a great man. Many, many times to see the Japanese militarists still swollen with arrogance, see the devils to go to China or the land of high gas Aung Toe, I felt very helpless, I feel the power of individuals is too tiny. As people encounter social injustice of the fact that when I sincerely lament the meager love and good will may be able to encounter uneven 1:00 to warm a heart, can be substantially can change? As the saying goes: fate of the nation, everyone is responsible - but I am afraid the responsibility of every citizen to do that is immune from the. In walked every place, every step of the process of growing up, the bones were never fades instinctive love of this situation and the usual kindness and love - for life if I insist on this point, right he is very satisfied with the .
Dalian, as a person, love her natural landscape in the same time, she involuntarily concern for cultural landscape - despite the far right's love. A moment will be remembered and remember to write down faithfully, it is also a travelogue of sorts of things, but fortunately for all of the account be regarded as representative of the cultural landscape of Dalian. Remembered once, and that prompted me to write this text, User explore writing travels, he reasoned colorful travels to convince me that should be reflected by the nature of tourist sites, not stop another burst of a guilty conscience. Quickly consoled himself, I do not like is he a great ability to be able to write the text Naqu change money, since it is not money exchanges, Dongdong, there is no need for a less conscientious. Having said that, I also like playing with the level of travels, and otherwise, as others Zaochu back to the product in exchange for money.
