Today we spent the day in the Port of Dalian. This used to be part of Russia, then Japanese, until after the second word war.
There is not much remaining of the old city; today it is just skyscrapers and very modern. We went on a shuttle bus to the friendship shopping mall, that was mostly expensive western and Chinese goods. Of course, there was a coffee shop!
We popped down to the supermarket in the basement, and got some soya and chili sauce. Strangely, fridge magnets have not caught on here, so we did not get one! It was very cold, and the temperature was around freezing.
Just out Dalian we head southwards again to warmer climes, and this is the most northerly part of our journey. That is the Island picture above! Our next stop is Shanghai.
