Doing it all over again, where would you stay in Dalian?

Zhongshan or Xigang

Sha-he-kou is good too.

There are some good places to live : Xinghai,High-Tech zone.

^_^

we live in Zhongshan and I like it here. I haven't really ventured anywhere else yet, though!

well, it depends where is your office located?
I stay in dda (where intel fab68 located) next to the seattle condo.

if central, if you are looking fr expatriates, they are likely to reside around sha he kou area, xin hai, heping guang chang.

if your office is around ren min lu or tian jin jie, zhong shan lu, then the vicinity could be renmin lu (there are many service aprtment, hotels).

If your office at softare park (dalian uninversity of technology area), then shuma guanchang or hei shi jiao or he ping is nearer,

if your office is further down to Lu shun (qi xian lin), then heishijiao o xiao ping dao is ideal.

xian lu is another very good area for shopping as well.

in short, dalian is accessible by public transport. it is damn  convenient.

Hey,

Nobody talks about the DDA. It is a wonderful place to live and raise children and we have loads of expats here who work in all the multinationals.
