Simple delights by the sea

Lyushun is a quaint seaside town with wonderful views, a rich history and excellent seafood. Chen Liang soaks it all in

Lyushun, a port at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula in Liaoning province, is a quiet town perfect for travelers who want to see something different before the peak travel season starts.

Because Lyushun is actually a district of Dalian, the major gateway to Northeast China, it is easy to arrange a weekend trip to the area from not only Beijing, but also major cities along the coast of the Bohai Sea, by air, train or even passenger liners. Surrounded by the Bohai Sea on three sides, Lyushun's geographical importance has historically led the area to be dogged by misfortune.
