 
The Bingyu Scenic Area is actually a nature reserve of primitive
forest situated 200 kilometers north of Dalian. There are five sections
of the 5,000-hectare domain : Skylark
Mountain, the Lesser Gully, Yingna River, the Longhua Mountain and the
Flower-and-Fruit Mountain. The joy of getting lost for
a short time in the embrace of nature can be an opportunity to appreciate
the local people's honest and untrammeled living habits and customs as
a discovery of a fairyland away from the hustle and bustle of the mundane
world. This enthralling experience can cause a person to forget to return
home.

The reason that Dalian developed into a
city mainly resulted from the Russian and Japanese invasion and their
forced concession. Development started from Lushun City at the seaside
on the southwestern side of Dalian. Because of its geographical position,
Lushun had always been considered to be of great strategic importance
since ancient times. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 and the notorious
war between Japan and Russia both broke out here.
