Dalian-Zhongshan Square
Zhongshan Square, also called 'Nicholas Square' was
originally built in the Russian colonial period. This round square
is typical of the blending of western styles of Romanesque, Gothic
and Renaissance with a variety of old European style buildings
surrounding an elegant marble circle terrace. Today, government
financial institutions are housed in those old buildings and the
square becomes a weekend leisure place for local people. At night
the square is colorfully illuminated.
Dalian-Renmin Square
This square is a more dynamic place with a charming
music fountain in the south. Opposite the beautiful fountain are the
municipal government institutions including the public security
bureau, municipal court and procurator's office.
Dalian-Youhao Square
This square was built to commemorate the friendship of
China and the former Soviet Union. The illuminated crystal-ball
architecture in the middle of the square is eye-catching. The five
hands holding the ball resemble the solidarity of people from five
continents of the world. At night, the colored lights inside the
crystal-ball make it a dazzling view - it is popular with
photographers. The neighboring area is the entertaining and cultural
center of the city dotted with numerous cinemas and entertainment
places.

was a 100 year anniversary gift project built in 1999 by the

five rings. Wal-Mart has a shopping center under the square.
