Seaside

Hey, my internet's been fixed!

This photo was taken at Binhai Lu, or a long stretch of road along Dalian's coastline. It has gorgeous views and an entire day could be spent walking along the road. Or, if you don't have all day, you can hire a taxi to drive you for a certain distance/length of time. I did this three times; with my two best friends over May Holiday, when my dad came to visit in June, and when my mom visited in September. 

Also, notice the clarity of the water. This is generally not seen in China and is an example of why Dalian is known for being one of the cleanest cities in which to live.

Photo of the Day: Dalian's Coastline

Along Binhai Lu, a long stretch of road along Dalian's coastline. This was off a steep, rocky side road of BHL, where a gorgeous photo shoot was obviously taking place. I would love to see how their pictures turned out. The reason I loved this isolated little cliff was because the water was so clear and I loved watching it crash on the rocks. Along the beaches in Dalian the water was generally clean for China, but still nothing compared to this.

The future of this blog

Since I've returned home, I obviously do not have anything current to blog about anymore. However, there was a great gap between posts and have decided instead to turn this space into a "Picture of the Day" feature, with pictures I took in 2008. [This is also because I miss living in China greatly and am trying to relive it all this way. Ha.]

So to start off, this is the city of Dalian:

Taken on a brisk November day, from the top of the cable cars at Labor Park. The blue in the middle, past the buildings, is the sea!
