In the early morning of Dalian in early autumn, people rushing to work are in a hurry. At bus stops, it is a city landscape that stops and queues orderly; In front of the zebra crossing without signal lights, when pedestrians cross the road, drivers will consciously show courtesy; The international hiking conference attended by 300,000 people did not leave a piece of paper scraps along the way; Volunteers are always active in public cultural venues, summer Davos venues and other places... In 2005, Dalian won the first batch of national civilized cities. In 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2020, Dalian passed the national civilized city review for five consecutive times and achieved a six-star coronation. Among the provincial capitals and sub-provincial cities in China, only two cities won this honor.

Dalian places the construction of a civilized city in an important position that is related to the overall situation of urban development and promotes the high-quality development of the city. The whole city has gathered together, deeply cultivated and paid close attention to implementation. The people actively participate, take the initiative and work together to create, always take the mentality of "returning to zero", take the new expectation of the general public for a civilized city as the starting point and foothold, take advantage of the situation to grasp the implementation, cherish the honor and start again, and constantly make efforts and efforts to innovate the system and mechanism, and strive to create an upgraded version of urban civilization with the typical imprint of Dalian.

Civilization has become the concerted action of nearly 7 million Dalian citizens, taking root and blossoming in the vast land of 13,000 square kilometers.
