First Meeting Bincheng Dalian Seagulls Hover to Welcome Guests

The first stop of the delegation's arrival in Dalian was Dalian International Convention Center. The wet sea breeze is wrapped in a faint salty taste, and flocks of seagulls circle on the sea. Although I just arrived in Dalian, my understanding of Dalian is still very shallow, but the beauty of Donggang still excited the members of the delegation. Marshanlo Ilyas, the news director of Phoenix 24. com in Kazakhstan, said excitedly: "This is my first time to come to China and Dalian. I have only heard that it is a seaport city before. After coming to Dalian, my first feeling is that the air is humid and the climate is pleasant, which is wetter than my hometown Almaty. Although I haven't seen the whole picture of Dalian yet, the buildings on both sides of the road have left a deep impression on me. It can be seen that this is a city with a unique history."

Enter Liaoning Port Group and feel the pulse of the logistics hub

In front of the sand table on the first floor of Xingang Business Building, the delegation learned about the port layout system of "one island and three bay" in Dalian during the explanation of the relevant person in charge of Liaoning Port Group.

On the observation deck on the 28th floor, overlooking the port area, the cargo ships far away from the sea level and the containers neatly arranged on the dock witness the prosperity and vitality of this port and highlight the efficiency and precision of modern ports. As an important international logistics hub in Northeast Asia, the prosperity of Dayaowan Port Area is not only the epitome of Dalian's economic development, but also the witness of China's close connection with the world. Vanik Novikov, a reporter from the Armenian National News Agency, said that although it was his first visit to Dalian, he learned that Dalian was a city born from Hong Kong, so he was very excited to learn that he could visit Liaoning Port Group. "We have been to many Chinese cities and found that artificial intelligence is basically widely used in every city in China, so it is not surprised that artificial intelligence is also used here. As a journalist, I look forward to learning more about how China is developing rapidly and effectively in the field of artificial intelligence, hoping to bring these experiences back to my country, and hoping to exchange views extensively in various technical fields, so that the friendship between the two countries can develop better."

Visit Bingshan Group and listen to the strong voice of industry

Bingshan Group is a leading enterprise in the refrigeration industry in Dalian and even the whole country. Its development history and brilliant achievements make journalists deeply admire it. During the visit, they not only learned about the technological innovation and product advantages of Bingshan Group, but also had an in-depth understanding of the company's efforts and contributions in environmental protection and energy conservation. Mardanov Nozimrong, the host and announcer of Uzbekistan National News Agency, was deeply impressed by the strength of Iceberg Group's refrigeration technology. He hoped that Uzbek enterprises could further carry out trade cooperation and exchanges with Chinese enterprises.

Visit the Planning Exhibition Center and appreciate the picture of urban development

At the Dalian Planning Exhibition Center, the narrator introduced Dalian to the delegation comprehensively and meticulously through pictures, cultural relics and videos. When the lights of the giant city sand table lit up under the narrator's laser pointer, the picture scroll of Dalian's historical context and urban development slowly unfolded in front of the members of the delegation. Standing in front of the tram model in Dalian Street View Restoration Area, Em Sofalin from Cambodian TV station felt that although it was very far away from her country, she felt glad you came to Dalian this time. "As a port city, Dalian has played a very important role in the process of globalization. I am deeply impressed by both urban planning and natural scenery. I am a documentary producer of our TV station, and I hope to have the opportunity to come back here again with my photography team to make a documentary for Dalian, so that the people of our country can know about this beautiful seaport city."

Sea tour to Dalian to enjoy Bincheng at night

At the beginning of the lights, the delegation boarded a cruise ship, changed its perspective, and watched Dalian at night from the sea. The scattered buildings are flashing with neon lights, reflected in the sparkling waves. The lights of the city shine with the stars and moon on the sea, outlining the charming skyline. Members of the delegation were immersed in this colorful visual feast, intoxicated by the outline and vitality pulse of the city outlined by the lights, and deeply felt the dynamic vitality and unique charm of the city.
