Airport –Dalian has a small international airport that's located to the northwest of the city. The airport has international flights to Japan and the Republic of Korea. Domestic direct flights to most major cities in China are readily available. It takes about 15 to 30 minutes from the airport to the city center by shuttle bus or taxi.
Ship – There are passenger boats available for connection to Inchon in the Republic of Korea as well as to other Chinese ports. There are numerous daily ferries to Yantai in Shandong Province. Landlubbers beware –choppy seas, big crowds and locked passenger compartments can make for an uncomfortable trip.
Streetcar –One of the things that make Dalian so livable is its excellent and quaint streetcar line.
Taxi –Taxis are RMB 8 at flag-fall. Within downtown Dalian most places can be reached for under RMB 30; however, be advised that taxi travel to the Economic Development Zone or the public beaches can be lengthy and expensive. |
