At home, Dalian, known as the "northern Hongkong", has made great changes in its economy and urban environment through the vigorous development of the Convention and exhibition economy in the past decade.

Until the end of the 1980s, Dalian was an unknown small city with heavy industry.

However, since the end of the 80s, as early as the beginning of the 20th century, the Dalian municipal Party committee and the municipal government have been developing the third industry with the leading role of the Convention and exhibition economy in accordance with the law of market economy.

At the time when Dalian's garment industry was almost blank, they held the "Dalian costume festival".

Several successive sessions.

"The Dalian clothing festival" has not only created a truly international clothing festival for Dalian, making it a city name card of Dalian, but also created a large number of county-level hotels such as Dalian International Conference Center, Dalian Hilton, Shangri-La, Dalian, Zhongshan square, Dalian Xinghai Square, Xinghai road and so on.

Dalian has become a more large-scale Northeast Asia International Convention and Exhibition Center City.

"The Department should attract the wide participation of garment manufacturers, tens of thousands of exhibitors, heads of government, journalists, tens of thousands of foreign tourists and hundreds of thousands of Dalian residents in 40 to 50 countries.

The increasingly popular "Dalian international clothing festival" has even attracted the envy of Ningbo, which is also a coastal city, but also has well-known brands such as YOUNGOR and Shanshan in the clothing industry.

Dalian is taking the "Dalian international clothing festival" as a breakthrough for the development of exhibition economy. Then, it has developed "Dalian appreciation of Huai Festival" and a series of exhibitions including all kinds of new and high technology achievements and corresponding academic seminars, and various commodity fairs, tourism festivals, shopping festivals and so on, so that in a short span of 10 years, a picture of the exhibition economy was painted on a piece of white paper.

At the same time, Dalian's traditional cement, steel, pharmaceutical and other traditional enterprises with high energy consumption and heavy pollution are adjusted and relocated through the principle of differential rent.
