I want to go to Dalian not because of Tiger Beach or Xinghai Square. Although these places are particularly beautiful, I have always been full of mysterious fantasies about Lushunkou. I knew it was a military port because I was a child. I saw a picture of Lushun. Dalian at that time was called "Luda". Su Xiaoming's song "Night at the Military Port" made me full of expectations for Lushun, looking forward to walking into the military port where "the sea breeze blows gently and the waves gently rock".
I had a chance encounter with Dalian more than ten years ago. I was on a business trip with my colleagues. We had different views and had a cold and fever, so I didn’t have a deep impression of Dalian in one day. It wasn’t until I went to Dalian this time that I discovered that Dalian is not only close to the sea, but also located among hills and mountains. It is a beautiful landscape city that is very suitable for living.
?When you go to Dalian, you must not miss Lushun, not only because of the past "Luda", because it has "one mountain and two seas, one port to write about the Spring and Autumn Period, one Port of Lushun, half of modern China" "History" of the world's evaluation. The hotel staff told me that there is nothing to see or do in Lushunkou, and the Golden Beach is worth visiting. My travel habit is always obsessed with local historical traces and the daily fireworks of local people making money, rice, oil and salt. I believe that the historical scars of Lushun will definitely shock my soul. So I chose Lushun as the first stop of my trip to Dalian. The former site of the Japanese-Russian Prison, the former site of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the ancient fort, and the Loyalty Tower, every place makes people feel a kind of pain that tears the heart and lungs. Fortunately, Japanese are not allowed to enter Lushun now. (May be a temporary measure during the National Day). This should be the most praiseworthy patriotism in Dalian. What is gratifying is that Lushun is now an important military port in my country and an important base for the North Sea Fleet. my country's first aircraft carrier "Liaoning" leaves and enters the port here.
I have long heard that there is an unwritten rule in Lushun's Sun Valley, not to sweep fallen leaves. Every late autumn, the streets and alleys are covered with fallen leaves, which has a unique charm. Unfortunately, time was short and I was unable to be there...
It is said that Dalian has "three more" and "three less", one of which is that Dalian has many squares. Dalian really has a lot of squares. It is said that there are seventy or eighty large and small squares, and the most famous ones are Xinghai Square, Zhongshan Square, People's Square, and Victory Square. Xinghai Square is close to the mountains and the sea, modern and fashionable. People's Square is the seat of the city government, where the beautiful female mounted police appeared. Zhongshan Square is a circular square surrounded by ten roads radiating to different directions of the city, each with two Between the intersections is a century-old European-style building of different styles, including the former site of the Qing Dynasty Bank, the former site of the Yokohama Bank, and the former site of the Bank of China. In the past and now, this is the financial center of Dalian. Coming here feels like traveling through the streets of Paris.
The beauty of Dalian lies not only in the city, but also in the sea. There are many parks along the coastline, such as Xinghai Park, Golden Beach, and Laohu Beach. These parks have beautiful scenery, and you can enjoy the ebb and flow of the tide, and enjoy the morning view. Red sun, watch the sunset at night. Don't forget to take a tram when you arrive in Dalian. The wooden carriages, wooden seats, and clanking sounds traveling through the European-style streets and alleys immediately transport you to Shanghai during the Republic of China era.
?In a strange city and only have two or three days, it is impossible to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding. I can only take a quick look at the flowers, so what I saw will inevitably be very different. However, I feel that there are a lot of things about Dalian that I cannot understand. This may be related to the fact that Dalian was colonized since the Opium War and lacked Chinese symbols. When I first met Dalian, there were many things that were difficult to interpret in terms of its customs and architecture.
It is said that Dalian people have a very low sense of belonging to the Northeast. Many Northeasterners in other places often refer to themselves as "Northeasterners" when introducing themselves. If you ask without specific details, they will not bother to explain to you who they are. Shenyang or Changchun or Harbin. When Dalian people introduce themselves outside, they will only say "Dalian" without prefixing "Northeast". This is probably similar to how people in Chongqing feel when they hear others say that they are from Sichuan. As an outsider, this is somewhat unclear and unclear.
?In fact, when talking about Dalian, one will naturally think of that tragic political figure. After all, it was under his rule that Dalian gained the reputation of "Pearl of the North, Romantic City". Local people talk about that time. Dalian will be very proud, so they concluded that "there will be no Dalian after a certain person." This shows that people's hearts are sometimes a steelyard. This time I saw construction going on in the center of the square in Xinghai Square. Locals said that the Chinese watch in the square was torn down because the Chinese watch was erected at the end of the last century. There are a few words on the ticket for the former site of the Kwantung Army Headquarters: People cannot reject history, because history can give us wisdom; people cannot forget history, and forgetting history means betrayal; people cannot ignore history, otherwise they will be punished by history. ; People cannot cut off history, and if they deny yesterday, they will lose tomorrow. But today's Dalian is deliberately erasing the history of someone's power in Dalian. It's hard to see through.
Dalian is not only a city with blue sky, clear sea and beautiful scenery, it is also a city full of passion. The eight-time champion and unbeaten record of 55 games made football the calling card of this city. However, with the " With the disappearance of "Tainted Witness", football is no longer the pride of this city.
Jiang Feng, a talented woman from Fudan back then and CCTV host, posted on Weibo: The beginning of life is separation, and the end is farewell. The sky tricks people but they don’t regret it, the bright moon and the cool breeze follow them. It makes people wary of official affairs. Once again, it’s hard to see through.
The same is seafood, and all kinds of seafood in Dalian are more delicious than seafood anywhere else, because Dalian is a northern seaport. This is the same as the fruits in Xinjiang are particularly sweet and the rice in Heilongjiang is particularly fragrant. You must eat seafood when you go to Dalian.
?Although this trip to Dalian was in a hurry, apart from being cheated by the local "one-day tour", it was also relaxing and enjoyable. I believe I will come to Dalian again to make up for this. The rush and regret.
