Dalian Transportation - Getting There

 Dalian Flights
Located about 10km (6 miles) northwest of the city, Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport serves as an important transportation hub in the Bohai area. It is about 10km (6 miles) from Dalian Railway Station, 5km (3 miles) from the Shenyang-Dalian Freeway and 35km (22 miles) from Lushun. Nowadays, Dalian Airport operates 146 air routes connecting the airport with 88 domestic and international cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, Singapore...

Besides, to release the burden of Zhoushuizi Airport, Jinzhouwan International Airport will be constructed in 2021. According to the plan, it will be 6 times larger than Zhoushuizi Airport and operate both domestic and international flights.
 

 Dalian Train Schedule
As the terminus of three main rails in northeast China, Dalian is well connected to the rail networks in China. Trains from the city can reach all cities in northeast China area and many China major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, etc. Besides, the traveling time shortens due to the operation of local bullet trains. 

 Major Rail Lines from Dalian to:

As a northern Chinese port, and the third largest in China, Dalian has a well developed water transport network.

The Passenger Port is located at the northern end of Wuwu Lu in the eastern end of the Liaodong Peninsular. A shuttle bus is available which take passengers from the Waiting Hall to the docks. We suggest you arrive at the passenger port at least half an hour before your scheduled departure time.

Scheduled passenger ships leave for Yantai, Weihai, Tianjin and Penglai. Passenger ships depart for Changhai County daily. Ships also sail for Incheon, Korea every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Another good thing about arriving by ship is that some the passenger ships can transport private cars so that you can drive your own car in the city.

The city is situated at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsular and has two main highways that extend northeastward to cover the peninsular. One is the Shenyang-Dalian Speedway, which connects the city to Shenyang, the provincial capital city of Liaoning, and runs parallel to the 202 national highway. The other is the Yellow Sea Speedway, starting from Dalian running along the coast to Dandong, another important city, next to the 201 national highway. This makes the connections between Dalian and the other four major cities, namely Shenyang, Liaoyang, Dandong, Qinhuangdao, very convenient.

There are five long distance passenger bus stations in the city.
