Dalian is the main commercial port of Northeast China, situated on the Liaodong Peninsula along the Korean Bay. The Dalian Financial Center master plan serves as link between the major seaport to the North and the rapidly expanding residential and recreational areas to the South and West. The Central Business District is composed of ascending office towers that line the western edge of the site, surrounding a pedestrian only commercial area. The Financial District is crowned by the Dalian Commodities Exchange Plaza and two dynamic towers located at the southern edge of the site. These towers spiral up in a gesture of economic growth and prowess. The towers also overlook the turtle-shaped Xing Hai Square, which is the largest ocean front plaza in the world, and offer spectacular views of the mountainous regions to the east and west of the district.
