Four days and three nights of immersive fun in Port Arthur: traveling to the mountains and seas, unlocking hard-core military culture + stunning autumn scenery
During this year’s National Day holiday, Lushunkou District, with a reception volume of 658,600 and a comprehensive tourism income of 497 million yuan, has transformed into a "traveling to the mountains and seas" destination that tourists from Liaoning and even the whole country are eager to visit. The per capita consumption has reached more than 750 yuan, and the occupancy rate of many branded express hotels has reached 100%.
If you also have the idea of planning a holiday trip that not only considers the depth of history but also takes into account the breadth of mountains and seas, then you should take good care of this practical guide to Lushun, which is customized to suit your own situation.
Core travel route: How to connect the three major areas without turning back
The highlights of Lushun are mainly concentrated in three different large areas, one of which is Taiyanggou Historical and Cultural Area, another is Tahewan Coastal Leisure Area, and the third is Laotieshan Natural Wonders Area.
Sun Valley: Not just a museum, but a mobile architectural epic
The venue called Lushun Museum is the key to bringing popularity to this area. During the National Day period, the average number of people received every day exceeded 10,000.
The recently launched series of themed exhibitions called "Speaking with Meaning", in addition to the permanent exhibitions, are well worth a visit. It is recommended to make a reservation on the official account in advance to avoid the peak crowd time of 10 am.
Don’t forget that after you walk out of the museum, you will come across an impromptu performance in the museum area. During this year’s holiday, 75 organ-playing enthusiasts from the Sun Valley Leaf Picking Band presented a pop-up performance here with the theme of “My Motherland and Me.”
Starting from the museum, you can walk for ten minutes to the Qingfeng Town (Crossing Guandong) film and television base. The "Qingfeng Town Welcomes National Day" folk event held here combines song, dance, opera and acrobatics. The replica of the street scene of the Republic of China is very suitable for taking pictures. It is recommended to reserve 2 to 3 hours for an in-depth tour.
Tahe Bay: From taking a boat out to sea to studying sailing, unlocking new ways to enjoy the seaside
Launched during the National Day this year, the sailing study program at the First Sail Age Scenic Area has become a popular choice for parent-child families. Children can learn to tie knots, observe stars, and operate simulated driving. The experience far exceeds the traditional "sitting on a boat and watching the sea."
Next to it is the Happy Coast of Tahe Bay, which is more in line with the needs of young people. It is closely connected with the seafood market, food street and Blue Bay Business District without any gaps, thus creating a complete new seaside consumption scene.
It is recommended to have a meal here at noon. The local seafood here is freshly caught and eaten immediately. The per capita consumption is between 80 yuan and 120 yuan, and the price/performance ratio is very high.
If you plan to stay overnight, the seaside B&Bs around Nata River Bay are the first choice. Rooms cannot be booked during the National Day this year, so it is recommended to book two weeks in advance.
When you open the window, you can feel the sea level, which is definitely worth it.
Laotieshan: the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea + migratory bird migration, a unique autumn spectacle
Laotieshan area is the biggest highlight of Lushun tourism this year.
After the Yellow-Bohai Sea Boundary Scenic Area was upgraded, the view from the viewing platform became wider. For three consecutive days, it received more than 5,000 visitors per day.
The best viewing time is from 2 to 4 pm. When the sunlight is slanting, the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea is the clearest. The resulting "Sea of Yuanyang" with clear distinctions is really shocking.
Lushun Haiying Street, known as Dalian's "Little Gangdong Fifth Street" by tourists, is the only way to the dividing line. It can capture the spectacular scene of a giant ship sailing out of the port.
After the surrounding environment has been upgraded, the check-in point has become safer and more convenient. It is recommended to bring a telephoto lens. Around 3 pm is the high-frequency time period for ships to enter and leave the port.
Walk forward along Shuangchen Road. On both sides of this path, which is known as "the most beautiful rural road", there are creative check-in locations such as "Beautiful Lushun" and "A Lushun Pass, Half of Modern History". In autumn, the leaves at Laotieshan are all dyed with that color, and they set off against the sea and sky in the distance. It is full of fun, and any photos taken at will are very beautiful.
Military culture themed tour: Hardcore experience ignites patriotism
Among the activities held during the National Day, there was a "Military Port Garden", which included a "Red Song Flash Mob" and a "Naval Flag Display". This series of events became popular on the site and received widespread attention.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that this is the first demonstration park to support the military in the city. It does not charge admission fees for retired military personnel across the country throughout the year.
The "Strong Youth Makes a Strong Country" study tour is promoted by the East Jiguan Mountain Scenic Area. Not only can you visit the relics of the Hundred Years' War, but you can also experience military projects such as live-fire shooting and grenade throwing. It is recommended to set aside at least half a day.
The Submarine Museum with its "Sea, Land, and Air Weapons and Equipment Exhibition" is also a hard-core existence. The retired fighter jets, retired tanks, and retired submarines on display are a delight for military enthusiasts. There is also a simulated submarine cruise experience in the museum, which is full of immersion.
Local food and accommodation: from seafood food stalls to branded express hotels
If you want to experience the daily life of the locals, you can go into the unique old restaurants located in the area around Sun Valley and try the local Lushun specialties of sea sausage dumplings and salted fish pancakes.
As for accommodation, during this year’s National Day, the occupancy rate of branded express hotels reached 100%. It is recommended to use OTA platforms to lock in accommodation in advance.
If you want to live in a unique style, then the boutique seaside B&Bs in Tahe Bay and the cultural-themed hotels around Sun Valley are good choices. You can get a good experience by spending 300 to 600 yuan per person.
Transportation: A complete guide to self-driving, public transportation, and volunteer services
The various scenic spots in Lushunkou are relatively far away from each other, so traveling by car is the most appropriate choice. During the National Day period, the area where Laotieshan is located and the street where Haiying is located have a large number of vehicles, so it is recommended to stagger the trip during the peak period.
Tourists who do not choose to travel by car can take the Lushun bus line to directly reach the main scenic spots. During this year's holiday, Lushunkou District set up a comprehensive tourism service station in areas where tourists are concentrated, and selected 300 young cadres and volunteers to provide consultation, shopping guide, emergency rescue and other services. If you encounter problems, you can seek help at any time.
If, as the staff of the Propaganda Department of the District Party Committee who participated in volunteer services said, when we carry out activities to ease traffic and distribute cultural and creative gifts at the Yellow-Bohai Sea dividing line, we see tourists giving thumbs up, we will deeply feel that all the hard work in the past is of great value. Lushun·Shunlv fully expects to meet you between the mountains and the sea.
