China is PEACEFUL & SAFE TO TRAVEL | FIRST. This was filmed by Sheku Mans. Watch the full journey and explore the filming details and destinations on this page.

Generally, most people think China is a dangerous place to travel but in reality, China is one of the safest countries in the world. In this episode, I travelled to Dalian which is one of China's most beautiful and relaxed cities.

Dalian was under Russian rule from 1898 to 1905, and even though Russia’s occupation of Dalian was relatively short, it still managed to erect several grand buildings on what was then called Engineer Street, and today Russian (or sometimes, Russia Customs) Street. The street is bookended by the Beaux-Arts Dalniy City Hall and the Russian Library, now a museum, in a fanciful Victorian brick building.
