Dalian is famous for its traditional Chinese

one can get a glimpse into the arts and culture offered by
Dalian as follows
Dalian Acrobat and Modern Dancing
Troupe
Dalian is famed for its local acrobat and modern dancing troupe,
as well as the well-known "first peasant wind band of
China", a somewhat comical Communist propaganda stunt,
that actually play with some style. Many of these performances
can be seen at the Kylin Stage, a theatre on Kunming Street
in Dalian.
Traditional Chinese Opera
For those interested in more localized musical performances
Dalian offers a couple of options. The Peking Opera House,
a former Japanese Shinto temple located between Labour Park
and the Foreign Languages University, offers regular performances
of Peking Opera. For those interested in catching the kinds
of opera more associated with north-eastern China there's a
theatre just behind the Ramada Hotel, Victory Square, which
specializes in local opera forms.

Another form of night entertainment is to listen to a concert
at the People's Cultural Club. The People's Cultural Club, off
Zhongshan Square, was built in 1951 and today serves as the main
concert hall of the city. A wide variety of orchestral, operatic
and ballet performances are held, performed by local and touring
companies.

Hollywood flicks.And if you have time, do not forget to experience
Chinese movies.Comprising of breath taking stunts and amazing
feats of martial arts, the nicely woven stories would surely
