Russian Street, Dalian

As one of the most dynamic cities in North China, Dalian never fails to invent new attractions. This street, which epitomizes 19th century Russia, was created to add an exotic touch to the seaside city. Visitors can explore this 430-meter-long street on foot or on a jingling carriage. Numerous duty-free shops, supermarkets, antique stores and painting shops sell East European goods. For entertainment, Russian artists dazzle the crowds with their skills in acrobatics, ballet and love ballads. And as a culinary bonus the street is packed with Russian, American, Italian, French and Portuguese restaurants.
