Dalian not only boasts extensive natural resources but also signature festivals, including Dalian Fashion Festival, Dalian Beer Festival, Jinshitan New Year Tourism Cultural Festival and Lantern Festival, said Bi Yunfeng, general manager of the Dalian Jinshitan Tourism Group.

Innovation is the key for the tourism industry's development in Dalian, which is famous for integrated travel experiences on land, sea and air. Visitors can not only travel on cruise ships and explore the national geopark for natural beauty, but also ride a helicopter for adventure in the sky, Bi said.
