Leave the ship for a unique opportunity to visit a Chinese family in their home. You will be welcomed into the home of local Dalian residents and have the chance to talk to your hosts through an English-speaking interpreter to learn about their everyday life and customs. Then, visit the Pole Aquarium. Millions of dollars have been invested in this facility which covers an area of 215,000 square feet. The building has two floors, divided into five sections: Large Polar Animals, Polar Experience, Animal Knowledge, Mysterious Ocean World, and Polar Animal Performance. After exploring, enjoy a lunch of northern Chinese cuisine. Continue to People’s Square, once named Stalin Square, located in the center of Dalian. Dalian’s ice-free port dates back to 1899, but it was completed in 1930 by the Japanese. Under the terms of the 1945 Yalta Agreement, control of the city passed from Japan to the Soviet Union, which assisted in the construction of vast munitions plants and the completion of Dalian’s network of underground defense shelters. Soviet occupation ended in 1954; however, the influence still lingers. Visit one of the thousands of nursery schools in Dalian and spend some time with the adorable children before you re-board your coach and return to the ship.
Notes:
If the nursery school visit is not available, a visit to the Dalian Concert Hall to observe the Children activities such as musical instrument class, chorus class etc., will be organized.
