With its beautiful scenery and pleasant environment，Dalian is backed by mountains and facing the sea. It is not only one of China's famous sea-shore touring cities，but also a summer resort，a sanitarium as well as a holiday resort. It faces the mist-covered water of the vast Pacific Ocean. There are a lot of bays near the sea，with reefs scattering about. The landform here is truly unique. All these elements have composed an elegant，quiet and bright seashore scenery with a clear sky，blue sea，white sand and black reefs as its characteristic. Looking out at Dalian from the sea，one can see an even more marvelous，splendid and attractive scenery. Islands in emerald shape such as the famous Snake Island and Birds Island scatter here and there along the coastlines of over 1000 kilometers. Be-sides all these，Dalian's peerless seafood，bathing places with clean water and superior sand，as well as yachts that are dashing cheerfully，attract tourists in a prevailing way.

The urban architectural style of Dalian is distinctive，with classical and modern buildings enhancing one another's beauty. The major architectural feature of Dalian is that it takes squares as the center，with streets radiating in various directions. Owing to the fact that a small scrap place can be called a square so long as there are streets radiating to the four directions，squares in Dalian are especially many. The urban area of Dalian has over 80 squares. Dalian not only has the most squares，its square culture is the riches and most colourful as well. Besides the green space，the pigeons，the sculptures and the eruptive fountains，there are the unique female mounted policemen and the waltz here in Dalian，too.

大連城市建筑別具一格，古典式與現(xiàn)代式交相輝映。大連的一大特色就是以廣場為中心，街道向四面八方輻射。大連的廣場特別多，不大的一小塊地方，只要有四面輻射的街道，就稱之為廣場。全城有80多個廣場。大連不僅廣場最多，廣場文化也同樣豐富多彩，綠地、白鴿、雕塑、噴泉自不用說，還有全國獨一無二的女騎警和圓舞曲。
