Dalian Russian Street Photo Gallery

The Russians were interested in Dalian as an ice-free port on the Pacific, and leased the peninsula from China in 1898. Russian Street was Dalian's first avenue. Today, the 430m-long street is lined with a number of historic European-style buildings.

Railroad tracks separate Russian Street from the rest of the city centre.

Art Exhibition Hall

Many of these buildings have been transformed into various commercial uses from hotels to restaurants and souvenir shops.

Not all buildings are in good shape though. This grand building at the end of the street needs a good renovation.

This traffic circle has become a big parking lot.
