Lüda, the consolidation of the cities of Lüshun and Dalian, is on the south end of Liaodong peninsula. Lüda has 4.7 million inhabitants and is an important port and industry town.
Lüshun, better known to westerners as Port Arthur, lies in a strategically important place, for the entrance to the Gulf of Bohai, the seaway to Northeast China and Tianjin, is controlled from here. The city's harbor is very deep and, therefore, suited for large ships. Moreover, it remains open during the entire winter.
1989, “The Northeast”, in All China, Revised edition, Passport Books, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 60:Lüda is a double city composed of Lüshun and Dalian, located at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula in Liaoning Province.
