2026 CE China Dalian - the 34th Trip 2026年 中国 辽宁大连 - 第34次行程

大连 Dalian played a vital role as a key rear base during the Korean War (1950–1953), serving as the nation's northeastern maritime outpost and supporting Chinese forces across the 鸭绿江 Yalu River. Dalian's citizens enthusiastically enlisted in the military—over 60,000 volunteered—and contributed to the war effort by donating funds for aircraft and artillery, participating in 增产节约 campaigns, and providing medical care for wounded soldiers

Notably, the Lüshun Aquatic Products Company dispatched 45 fishing vessels and more than 330 crew members to directly participate in the amphibious landing battles to liberate the Dahe and Xiaohe Islands off Korea's west coast, sinking an enemy warship and capturing over 200 prisoners. The city also established a war hospital with 4,000 beds, treating and recovering over 22,000 injured Chinese soldiers.

Dalian's factories, such as the Dalian Railway Factory, repaired over 360 steam locomotives and produced countless railcars to build a "never-breaking" supply line to the front.
