Dalian Bay

The consequent defeat of China led to the naval fortress at the extreme southern tip of the peninsula being named Port Arthur.

By the end of the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894–1895, most of the barbettes had been abandoned and a fishery industry was quickly established in their place.

The Russian Empire coerced a lease of the bay from China in 1898 along with Port Arthur, which is 40 miles (64 km) away.

[1] Today, Dalian Bay has one of the biggest fishing ports in East Asia and it plays an essential role in the Chinese fishery industry.

It has been a famous seafood distribution center since the 1930s, with thousands of people involved in commercial fishing coming to Dalian Bay for business.
