Golden Pebble Beach and LvShun Museum


















This week, it's snowing in Dalian. They said it's rare but it happened here in Dalian on April 15th. This weekend, it was cold and rainy. An IBM colleague took me to the Golden Pebble Beach which is located in the Dalian New Development Zone. We crossed the Golden Bay Bridge to get to the beach. It is a good place to have BBQ and beach volleyball in the summer. Not today! Nearby is a huge Chinese Martial Arts School.

We did not stay long at the beach today because
of the cold weather!


We headed to the city of LvShun and visited the LvShun Relic Prison Museum. This is an exclusive area and foreigners are not allowed to enter. I was lucky to be able to admit. This prison was built during the Japanese occupation of this area. Some of the most gruesome tactics employed by the Japanese during the 30's and 40's including the torture chambers, the execution rooms, etc. This has to be one of the saddest chapters of the people of China.
