Additional Information on Expat Life in Dalian

Jutting out into the Yellow Sea, the city of Dalian lies in China’s densely populated northeast. Its history as a major port means that today it is one of the major transport and trade hubs in Northern China. The city has been growing economically for the last twenty years and continues to pull in major multinational firms. Most expats find the climate in Dalian fairly agreeable — the winters are cold and dry, but the summers are wet and humid, however neither seasons reach extreme temperatures. Mandarin is spoken almost universally in Dalian, and although there are a few differences due to the local dialect, for the most part it is quite standard. Expats can find it tricky to pick up at first, but after a few months you’ll start speaking Mandarin more and more. Dalian is an excellent city to start a new life in — make the most of your time abroad with InterNations.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world.

Meet New People at Our Events in Dalian

InterNations is unique to other social networks because it offers you the chance to connect with people offline, as well as on the screen. Of course, the platform enables you to securely communicate with other expats (our members are verified before joining), but the events organized every month in Dalian by the Ambassadors and Consuls create an environment where you can meet new people from all over the world. Questions on moving abroad are always better answered by expats themselves. They’ll know what public transportation ticket you should get for your commute, as well as what to do if you get sick. Build your support network in China with InterNations and gain crucial advice from our expats in Dalian.
