Dalian is located on the eastern coast of Eurasia, at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula in Northeast China. Bordered by the Bohai Sea to the northwest and facing the Yellow Sea to the southeast, it includes 260 islands, small and large. It is a sub-provincial city in China and a separate planned city, and also one of the fourteen open coastal cities across the country.
As the most important coastal port city in the northeast, Dalian is also the major gateway to foreign countries in Northeast China, an essential international shipping center in Northeast Asia, as well as an international logistics and regional financial center.
With the advent of policies to revitalise the old industrial base in the Northeast, Dalian seized the opportunity to speed up its development, attract investment, and gradually became one of the renowned investment cities in the northeast and even across the whole country, drawing countless investors.
