Entertainment
 dalian offers a range of entertainment options, with theatres and concert halls in zhongshan district for those interested in high culture, including local and international performances. there are dozens of ktv bars and a few bars/hotels offer live music. for those interested in the silver screen, there's a cluster of cinemas in the centre of town around youhao square, but these mainly cater to local audiences and so english-language screenings are extremely rare. those who aren't fluent in mandarin would be better off going to the warner-wanda cinema on the north side of olympic square xigang district, ownar cineplex in the he ping shopping centre north of xinghai square shahekou district or theater at roosevelt shopping center. finally, those visiting during the football season march-november should make the effort to catch a game at the people's stadium, xigang district, given football's role as a fundamental part of dalian's identity. typical of northern chinese cities, the nightlife comes to an end rather early and the city feels asleep around 10pm and the formal bar closing time is 2am.

Thousands of visitors. Day-time folks tend to go for the food and music acts, night-time goers for the beer and music acts. Domestic and regional vendors, some selling brew from as far away as Germany and the U.S.
Dalian Shide
Among the reasons Dalian is known for in China, having won the Chinese league 8 times most recently in 2005, but the team is not as strong as it once was. They have produced a number of stars who've gone to play abroad, including Sun Jihai Manchester City and Dong Fangzuo Manchester United. Home matches are played on alternate weekends from early Mar-Nov. Ticket prices vary according to the quality of the opposition, with the biggest games costing around ¥20 while entry to matches against lesser teams can sometimes be had for nothing if you're willing to wait until just before kick-off.
