Liao River Delta

Intricate river veins and wetlands where the Liao River flows into the sea.

In autumn, look for the unique crimson hues of the seepweed marshes along the coastline.

Bohai Gulf

Wide panoramic views of the sea, often filled with cargo ships and fishing vessels.

🏙️

Jinzhou District

The rapid urban development and industrial parks of Dalian's northern expansion.
