What was the earliest name of Dalian?

Dalian was originally a fishing village called Qingniwa, which was planned by the Russians and enslaved by China. Russians named it "Darini" in Russian, which means far away. Sakharov was the first mayor of Dalian. The city center is located in today's Zhongshan Square, and some public buildings have been built around it.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese successfully occupied the city of Darini established by the Russians and named it Dalian. On the basis of Russian planning, the Japanese expanded cities, railway stations and ports. Its main public building is located around the present Sun Yat-sen Square, and it is named Grand Square. From 1905 to 1935, a large number of Japanese immigrated to Dalian, which was painstakingly managed with the goal of building Dalian into an important international metropolis. China people need visas to enter and leave Dalian.
