hello, i'm going to go to some cities in China for business trip next week and i will go to Dalian also but only for about 9 hours for transit, before i leave it for shijiazhuang. could anyone inform me the temperature there for next week? and is it possible for me to go outside from the airport to have shopping or just looking around the city for only 6 hours before i go back to airport again? my boss said Dalian is nice place to visit. thank you.

Weather: sunny days cloudy days, nothing bad for traveling
Of course, you could go to the city for a short visit. The Dalian Airport is very close to the city-center, which only takes 30 minutes by city-buses or the airport shuttle bus. U could take the city-bus 701, 710 or 532 to the Zhongshan Square or the Renmin Square, both of which are the famous tour destinations in Dalian. Around them, you could do some shopping, too!

Places to go in Dalian: Bangchuidao Scenic Area, Jinshitan Scenic Area, Laohutan Ocean Park, Port Arthur. At early Septemeber, China Eastern Airlines has a little cheaper air ticket. If going by train, you will spenf nearly 23 hours. The train ticket fare for soft sleeper is about 690RMB. The air ticket is similar or cheaper perhaps in Deptember.

Jul. 15,2009 03:25 Ms.Jane replied:
Sep is one of the best time to visit Dalian, fewer travelers but very comfortabel climate although the sea water may be a little cooler. If you like eating seafood, it is just the right time. And, the international clothes festival will be held in early Sep.
There are many hotel and hostels around the university. Actually, I think it is a good idea to stay at the hotel of Dalian Medical University, cheap and convenient.

Jun. 2,2009 03:58 Ms.Cindy replied:
Hi, Ms Mei. There is only one train from Shanghai to Dalian every day, which will take you 23 hours to be there. I suggest you go by plane, for the air ticket is sometimes much cheaper, similar to the train ticket and the more important is that it will take less time on the way. If you do not have enough time, why choose some bearby cities around Shanghai, such as Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing. Good day~
We have 4 adults and 1 child going Dalian stay just 2 nights in June, would like to see Laohutan park and Jinshitan Scenic Area (Golden Pebble Beach), is it better to stay in a hotel near to the commercial centre or is it better near to the scenic area?
Thanks, Kitty
May. 30,2009 21:43 Mr.Thomas replied:
I think you could find a hotel in the city center or around any commercial area. The transportation from downtown area to the scenic area and other parts of the city is easy and the hotel cost may be lower.
