Dalian, China - First City Views (Part 2)

Dalian city taxis zipped along the streets, looking for passengers.

The architecture is a mix of multiple cultures.

 These stairs look like they go to a park, or maybe a temple.

 At first glance I thought that these were natural rocks.  Then I noticed that they were manufactured...and there is a doorway. This is some sort of control built right in to the hillside.

 Here is another one with a secret door.

 There is a lot of road construction and a large freeway cutting through town.  Again, another high rise road that is built to allow the normal city traffic to continue.

 Tunnels in to the mountains surrounding the seaside area.

 We exited the tunnel and entered the land of new building.
