This Week In Dalian - 2019/08/23

DalianLaowai dalianlaowai


Thank you for reading with us this Friday, again.


We will start this edition with another cool video about Dalian — this 6 mins video took 4.5 years to finish.  



A lot of people left Dalian for different reasons - salary, night life, not big enough, not developed enough.


For those of you who stayed, like us, we've got to build it up the way we want it to be. Let's contribute together, help each other and build Dalian up.




What's Up Dalian


Dalian transport goes electric


Dalian rolls out a new policy right after the '24th Dalian International Automotive Exhibition' about electric cars. (1) By 2020, all the public buses will go electric; (2) By 2025, all the cars that offer ridesharing services, like didi, will go electric. 



Expats tips:
Dalian now offers a lot of electric rental cars. Basically you can just download an app, find an electric car nearby and drive. The price is cheap and you can drive it to almost anywhere within Dalian. A lot of parking sites too for you to park.
All you have to do to enjoy this is: Get a driving license. I think the effort of obtaining license will pay off.
If you are curious, check out 氢氪出行 or 联动云 app. They offer such services in Dalian now. 



Dalian to Hire Chinese Coaches for the 10 football camps to be set up in elementary school


If you are a long time reader, you may remember this:


“WANDA GROUP together with government to build 10 primary school football camps in Dalian. 
20 years later in 2019, WANDA GROUP is back on the 'football' stage again, sponsoring 50 million RMB per year to help build world-class football camps here in Dalian. Dalian used to be a football city and has trained a good number of football players. Dalian later almost lost this in post-wanda days. Now it comes back with this good news again.”


Now it is getting real. Yifang football club is hiring Chinese coaches to train elementary school kids. These Chinese coaches will be trained by a Spanish coach first. 


Dalian football has a future! Great job, folks!
