Tour Information:

A short ride by light rail to Dalian's new Economic Development Zone, will deliver visitors to an important cultural center in Dalian.

This tour offers a diverse look at Chinese culture in Dalian, appealing to fans of Kung Fu and sociologists alike.

Tour Highlights:

Golden Pebble Beach

Dalian's Golden Pebble Beach is a famous national resort, taking its name from its most obvious feature. Considered the best bathing beach in Dalian, it is a geological marvel and one of Mother Nature's better creations. Its signature feature is a sculptured rock formation that has been shaped by 700 million years of effort.

Chinese Martial Arts Hall

The 4-story Tian'anmen style building, is the largest martial arts hall in China. Visitors can watch weapon exhibitions, traditional Wushu demonstrations, or learn some basic defense skills.

Dalian Waxwork Museum

Home to 100 celebrity figures, it is the largest wax museum in China. The European style building features such well known international personalities as Michael Jordan, Julia Robert, Jakie Chan, former President Bill Clinton, and Bill Gates. In addition, traditional Chinese social scenes have been recreated in wax, along with artistic interpretations from Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet, and other Western icons.

Mao Zedong Badge Exhibition Hall

During the years of the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese population showed their loyalty and support for Chairman Mao by wearing badges in his image. While all other artwork was banned at the time, these metal pins survive as cultural relics from a turbulent time. The museum showcases a collection of nearly 1 million badges, in almost as many sizes, styles, and shapes. It is truly a snapshot of China's "Red Age."

Note: Many of the Mao badges shown in the museum can still be purchased at street markets around Dalian. Billions of the badges were produced across China, and have resurfaced in recent years as tourist memorabilia - along with Mao's "Little Red Book."
