Up North in Two Countries – Dalian and Manchester

Apologies for any break in communication for a couple of days as I’m travelling in Liaoning and visiting Dalian and Lushan for a few days. I’ll post plenty on Dalian and its history architecture when I get back and sort out notes and download photos.

Strangely I find myself into the last fortnight in two cities that happen to have excellent tram system – Manchester (left – which runs as a train in the suburbs before becoming a street level tram) and Dalian (right) – and I’ve been taking advantage of both excellent systems though I prefer Dalian for no better reasons than that the trams are cuter and just RMB1 (10p) anywhere.
