Dalian is at the southern tip of Liaoning Peninsula. As a window for Northeast China opening to the world, Dalian is also the shipping, logistics and regional financial center of Northeast Asia. Dalian is neither bitterly cold in winter nor extremely hot in summer. It is, therefore, famous as “Pearl of North China” and “City of Romance”. In 2001, the United Nations Environment Program awarded Global 500 Roll of Honor for Environmental Achievement to Dalian, which is the first Chinese city to win this honor.
