On the first day of the trip, these travel vloggers from different parts of the world learned about the past and present development of Dalian City at the Dalian Urban Planning Exhibition Center, and then visited the "Tranquil Nanshan Mountain" Cultural Tourism and Leisure District to experience the city's slow-paced lifestyle. Historical and cultural architecture blending Chinese and Western features, and blocks with diversified scenery at every step offer delightful surprises, impressing the overseas travel vloggers upon their first visit to Dalian. 

Next, these travel vloggers will continue to explore Dalian on foot, wandering in the mountain breeze, sea charm and passion of this coastal city to witness its vitality and appreciate its splendor. They can depict the fashionable and romantic city to the world in their own languages and based on their unique interpretations.
