| Last xmas the starr family travelled to Beijing. It was hell cold and we were tired from performing all day so we didn't do many touristie things. We did spend most of our liesure time bargaining at various markets. This year the Starr Family are returning to China. This time it will be the Summer and we will be in Dalian. We would love to find markets in Dalian like the ones we found in Beijing. So far we haven't been able to find any information as to wheather such markets exist in Dalian. If anyone can help answer this question it would be much appreciated. cheers Sean Starr |

| In Xigang District, you will find the state-owned Beijing Food and Drinks Wholesale Market, a large wholesal market. General merchandise on the 1st floor, stationary and household goods on the 2nd floor, clothing and linens on the 3rd floor. For most products all are from local manufacture, the price is as reasonable as low. Though spacious, it is always crowded for some many customers and traders. |

| Right in town there're four major shopping centres: Tianjin Street, Victory Plaza, Qingniwaqiao, and Xi'an Road. Tianbai Department Store, Dalian Department Store ("Dashang" in Chinese), and the Friendship ("Youyi" in Chinese) Shopping Centre are three local commercial giants. New forces come mainly from some well-known pan-Asia department store chains such as the Parkson, the New World and the Pacific; another Taiwan-based Hanshin has also opened its joint ventrue here. World famous supermarket groups like Walmart and Carrefour have also set their branches in town. Tianjin Pedestrian Street and Qingniwaqiao block comprise the city's chief shopping destinations. |
