This may seem like a strange question, but I'm wondering what the general noise level is like in Dalian. I realize that there will always be normal city noise from traffic and construction, but there is also a Naval station somewhere near Dalian Harbor, right? The last thing I want is to end up in a part of the city that has fighter jets screaming by every day!
By the way, I do a lot of audio engineering and related work, so my first priority is avoiding excessive environmental noise... it's much more important to me than being located near any "hot spots" or clubs, bars, shopping, etc... after all, Dalian is a pretty small city, and from what I saw last year on a visit, it's easy to get around.
Thanks in advance for your help, you guys!
