This busy road is full of people until late at night and thus reflects the living standard of people living in this town.<\/p>\n<p align=\"&quot;left&quot;\">Well, to come to China needs some openness. As I often do, I venture off the main tourist tracks and walk through small streets with Hutongs (houses) which are often structured according to the Four-Area-Harmony. It is not unusual that more than one family occupies small houses in the traditional Shikumen, small connected houses bordering the small alleys. When I became hungry, I went to a small restaurant, where no one spoke any English. So I ordered some chicken and rice through isolated words and hand gestures. Please do imagine what than happens when the chicken was served! On the top was the head, the feet and everything else what belongs to a chicken! Well, even with chopsticks, things can be either eaten or pushed aside! I am sure that you will soon have some similar experience here.<\/p>\n<p align=\"&quot;left&quot;\">As you can see from this experience &#8211; taking time and walking is an interesting way to explore a culture. Are you ready to come?<\/p>\n<p align=\"&quot;left&quot;\">Please do look forward to the trip; I will gladly welcome you in Dalian starting on Tuesday.
