Statendam Asia question

[Live4cruises]

I was wondering where Statendam docks in Dalian China. I've checked the Asia boards, and there are comments that Princess docks at the freight port because of the ship's size, and I know HAL ships are often smaller. The reason for my question is the length of the walk to points of interest in Dalian if we choose not to take a HAL excursion.

 

Thanks for your help on this - and any other comments about the Osaka - Hong Kong route.

I did the 62 day Asia/Pacific in 05 on the Amsterdam. Dalian is a working port. I don't remember if people were allowed to get off the ship on their own. Only those that were on excursions. I do know that when I excursion that I was on, it took a while for the bus to get out of the port area.

 

The air there is pretty dirty. I tried to attach a pic of the map I got of Dalian.
