This is a pretty tourist street with a Russian flare. Many of the buildings are quite old and there is some Russian style street art, Russian snacks and Russian style souvenirs. We know some of the shops have authentic goods but we think some of the items are inexpensive and locally made like the 8 yuan Russian nesting dolls that seemed to be forever nesting! I would say the nicest people I've met in Dalian are in this area. Many welcoming shop owners were very welcoming. The Maria Cafe has a gentleman who learned to roast coffee in Taiwan and has original equipment which he will show you, has a very nice cat and will let you play his 100 year old Russian piano! Please note that the large majority of the shops sell similar items and they will offer to pour you a cup of beer while strolling around! The art museum is worth a quick stop, is free to enter and has clean bathrooms! Plan to spend an hour or two here. The 201 tram stops nearby and the Dalian Railway Station are also close to here.

Though not very great This is small lane which displays & sells the russian articles & souvenirs. They sell russian styled chocolates , dolls , bracelet etc. the street is named so as dalian was formerly ruled for few years from 1898 to 1905 by Russians. Having visited dalian this is worth visiting once.
