Dalian (simplified Chinese: 大连; pinyin: Dàlián; -cmntɑ˥˩li̯ɛn˧˥) is a city of sub-provincial administrative status in Northeast China's Liaoning Province, facing Shandong to the south and the Yellow Sea to the east and the Bohai Sea to the west and south. Dalian is the southernmost city of Northeast China and China's northernmost (still warm water) seaport. After the capital, Shenyang, Dalian is the second largest city of Liaoning Province, and has a long history of being used by foreign powers as a port. The city made international news headlines in July 2010 when two oil pipelines exploded, releasing an oil spill equal to the Exxon Valdez which polluted its famous beaches and extended into the Yellow Sea.
