Lushun Military Port

The formal naval port is a military restricted area and cannot be visited. The only thing you can visit is the naval port park, which focuses more on patriotism education. For a place like this that only appears in history books, you should bring your children to see it more often and tell them about that humiliating history. Good values and world views should be cultivated in such a journey. These ships should all be retired from the navy for people to visit, and they should be a must-see place when you come to Lushun.

Coming here from the place farthest from the sea, the sea is so blue, the sky is so blue, it really feels so good, it reminds me of the TV series "Parents' Love", it feels like I've been back to that time! It's so beautiful, I envy the life by the sea, the sea breeze blows away my worries!

There are must-see attractions and check-in spots in Lushun, but please be careful not to litter!

It is recommended to climb Baiyu Mountain so that you can see the entire Lushun Military Port.

The Port of Lushun was first established during the Qing Dynasty, though it actually housed a naval camp as early as the Ming Dynasty, serving as a base for sea patrols. As imperialist forces continued to encroach on the Yellow River and Bohai Sea coasts, the Qing government, from 1880 to 1890, ordered Li Hongzhang, Minister of the Northern Warfare, to organize the Beiyang Fleet and manage the Port of Lushun. They recruited civilians, expanded the waterway, dredged the harbor, reclaimed land, built artillery batteries, and constructed a harbor basin, transforming Lushun into a world-renowned military fortress and one of the five major naval ports of the time. By the time of the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Qing government had managed Lushun for only 16 years. The ensuing decades were marked by separate occupations by Japan and Russia. On April 15, 1955, China and the Soviet Union held a handover ceremony for the Port of Lushun, and from April 16, the People's Republic of China assumed control of the port's defense. Currently serving as a training base for the North Sea Fleet, the West Port is undergoing expansion.

Lushun Naval Port is located at the southwestern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, on the northern shore of the Yellow Sea. The port gate faces southeast, flanked by majestic Huangjin Mountain to the east, Laohuwei Peninsula to the west, and towering Laotie Mountain to the southwest. Surrounding Lushun Port, this natural beauty has earned it the reputation of a "wonder of the world."

It was nice to take the subway once, but it was a bit cold when I went there.

Lushun Naval Port, one of the five largest naval ports in the world, was built in September 1882.

It is the best place in China to watch warships coming in and out. The location of Lushunkou is really dangerous and special. The address chosen by Li Hongzhang was indeed brilliant. Although it was later robbed by the Japanese and occupied by the Soviet Union, it does show that it is a good port.

Dalian Lushunkou represents half of China's modern history. You can see submarines entering the port and many people waving. The country is strong and has the confidence to let the public see it instead of hiding it.

A military stronghold, Port Arthur, the navy was so cool when I saw it.

The entrance fee to the Naval Base Park is 10 yuan. We arrived around 8 o'clock and didn't see any entrance fee. It seems that both the Baiyu Mountain Scenic Area and the Naval Base Park are now free of charge and open to the public.

There is a big iconic stone at the entrance of the Naval Port Park. Many people line up to take pictures. There are also people in the park who take pictures for you. It is up to you to decide whether to take it or not. If you do, it costs 20 yuan per picture.

The attraction is called Naval Port Park. It's free and consists of a small coastal walkway. The view is nice, though. Warships are moored next door, though a wall blocks the view, so you can only see them from a distance. It's worth a stroll along the way.

If you like military affairs, you can go there. There is nothing else to go there.

The throat of Bohai Sea, occupied by Japan and Tsarist Russia for many years, returned to the motherland after liberation

Next stop: Port Arthur, one of the world's five largest naval ports. The majestic lion is the port's symbol, and its imposing presence is undeniable. Seagulls abound in the port. A nearby shop sells seagull food for 10 yuan, consisting of a sliced sausage. So, if you're going, be sure to bring your own sausage or rusks. Just throw your food in the air, and the seagulls will quickly and nimbly snatch it up.

When I was actually in the Port of Lushun, looking at the seagulls circling on the shore, the small islands like hills in the distance, the abandoned ships, and the old cannons covered with rust, I felt a little heavy-hearted and speechless for a moment.

Lushun Naval Port was much smaller than I'd imagined. I'd thought it was a large area, housing some decommissioned warships, but upon arrival, I discovered they weren't actually decommissioned. Adjacent to it was a military restricted area, resembling a small seaside park. But the combination of blue sky, white clouds, and the sea, with submarines visible in the distance, created a sense of awe.

Lushun Naval Port, established before the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 during the Qing Dynasty, was the largest shipbuilding, repair, and naval dock and port in northern China. It was known as the First Naval Port of the Beiyang Region. It is now the largest submarine base of the Chinese Navy in northern China. The fort directly faces Lushunkou. Looking out over Lushunkou from afar, one can vaguely see my country's latest submarines docked in the harbor in the distance. I counted about 16 of them. The guide explained that this is one of the few large submarine docks in China.

There are quite a lot of seagulls~ It’s not worth coming here specially... just to make up the word count.

When you come to Lushun Naval Port, you may not always see large warships entering and leaving the port, but you will definitely see transport boats coming and going every day!

At the Lushun Naval Port, you can still enjoy the sea breeze and there are many seagulls. There are also commemorative coins for sale, which I like to collect. The tour guide drove here and asked us to walk around and have a look. I guess it was because I went to the beach in the past few days to enjoy the breeze and feed the seagulls, so I didn’t have a deep impression of this place. Anyway, I just took a look as we passed by.

Lushun Naval Port. The port is also home to the North Sea Fleet. Driving past it, you can see China's first aircraft carrier being built in the shipyard. Lushun Naval Port Park. At first glance, the seagulls look like domesticated pigeons, haha! The seagulls in the park don't eat fish, but instead wait for visitors to feed them sausages. Haha, humans have changed animals' eating habits.

Experience the world's five largest military ports at Lushun Naval Port, where you can visit the warships up close.

Visit the Lushun Naval Port Park, feel the salty sea breeze on the shore, look at the docked warships, and feel the might of the navy.

This is now a small park, across from Lushunkou. The Qing government commissioned Li Hongzhang, then Minister of the Northern War, to establish the Beiyang Fleet in Lushun, making it a world-renowned military fortress and one of the five major naval ports. The Qing government maintained control of Lushun for 16 years until the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894. Later, it was occupied by Japan and Russia, and returned to Chinese rule in 1955.

The Naval Port Park is not a big place, but it is very well-known. What is worth taking a photo of is the big stone tablet with the three words "Lushunkou" and the sculpture of "Awakening Lion"!

The first time I went to Dalian, I didn't spend much time at the beach. Instead, I rushed to Lushun. After all, the beaches are not much different from each other, but the military ports and places where major historical events took place are unique.

Honestly, I don't think the military port is very fun to visit, but its geographical location and historical significance are both important. Those who love history, military affairs, and humanities can go there. Of course, it's also a great place to take children for some patriotic education! Next to the military port is a real military port, where you can experience the charm of our country's navy. As for other specialties, well... forget it.

Lushun is a natural military port. Its strategic location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, has long been a battleground for military strategists. Japan and Russia fought fierce battles over this location, and even the Soviet Union later cherished its claim. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lushun Naval Port became a key base for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. Lushun boasts numerous tourist attractions, including Laotie Mountain, Baiyu Mountain, Victory Tower, Naval Port Park, Lushun Museum, and Qing Army Forts.

There's no entrance fee to the naval port. Lushun Naval Port is located at the southwestern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, on the northern shore of the Yellow Sea. The port gate faces southeast, flanked by majestic Huangjin Mountain to the east, Laohuwei Peninsula to the west, and towering Laotie Mountain to the southwest. Surrounding Lushun Port, this natural beauty is known as a "wonder of the world." Founded in 1882, Lushun Naval Port was known as the "First Naval Port of the Beiyang Period" and one of the world's five largest. It was later occupied by Japan. The Soviet army liberated Lushun in 1945, and ten years later, Lushun Port officially returned to China.

Although I didn't get to see it up close, I was quite satisfied just being able to see it from a distance, and the sea breeze was soothing. After descending Baiyu Mountain, I continued walking and it was about 5 minutes away from the Naval Port Park. A taxi driver tried to pick me up downstairs, saying it would take a long time to get there. As someone who relies on electronic maps for travel, I decisively declined. After a 5-minute walk, I arrived at the attraction. I wanted to spit blood at the driver!

Is it because today is August 1st? So they didn't ask for a ticket? There are schools of fish on the shore.

A small area on the beach where you can see warships in the distance. It costs 5 yuan and there are artillery batteries and lion sculptures inside, but nothing else.

From Baiyu Mountain, you can overlook the entire Lushun Military Port, which looks like a big pocket. It is spectacular.

The sea at Lushun Naval Port is beautiful, but because of the fog, the scenery in the distance is not very clear. There are many seagulls flying around. It should be the first time I see seagulls so close. They are very cute. Hahaha

That is to say, Lushun is not big, just looking at warships and the like.

This is an important military port and seaport in our country. You can learn about its history and present.

I don't know if these warships have been retired... You can go and have a look.

Hehe, it's so small and scary, vvvvvvv

Since there are not many attractions in Lushun, I recommend going there to see them. The tickets are not expensive. I bought them for 5 yuan with my student ID. You can see Lushunkou, a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was from here that the Japanese attacked. The scenery is okay. The sea in Lushun is relatively clean. More importantly, there are some memorial halls inside, where you can learn a lot about the history of that year. It is very necessary to understand the historical knowledge of that time when you come to a place like Lushun to enrich your journey.

Lushun Naval Port is located at the southwestern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, on the northern shore of the Yellow Sea. The port gate faces southeast, flanked by majestic Huangjin Mountain to the east, Laohuwei Peninsula to the west, and towering Laotie Mountain to the southwest. Surrounding Lushun Port, this natural beauty has earned it the reputation of a "wonder of the world."

I personally think the scenic spot is too atmospheric. If you want a sea view, it is better to choose a nearby beach.

A place once occupied by both Japan and Russia, with a strong sense of history

The Port of Lushun was first established during the Qing Dynasty. From 1880 to 1890, the Qing government commissioned Li Hongzhang, then Minister of the Northern Ocean Fleet, to organize the Beiyang Fleet and manage the port. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the port was occupied by the Japanese invaders. For decades thereafter, it was occupied by both Japan and Russia, before returning to Chinese rule in 1955. It now serves as a training base for China's North Sea Fleet. Blessed with unique natural conditions, the port is a world-renowned natural harbor. Its strategic location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, has long been a battleground for military strategists. During that time, Japanese and Russian colonists engaged in numerous fierce battles over the area.

There is a military port park that you can enter. The ticket is five yuan, which is not big, but it is very close to the military port and it is worth a visit.

The scenery of the naval port is very unique. Looking into the distance, the passage between the two mountains illustrates what it means to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Port of Lushun was first established during the Qing Dynasty, but it actually housed a naval camp as early as the Ming Dynasty, serving as a base for sea patrols. As imperialist forces continued to encroach on the Yellow River and Bohai Sea coasts, to strengthen Lushun's maritime defenses, the Qing government commissioned Li Hongzhang, Minister of the Northern Warfare, to organize the Beiyang Fleet and manage the Port of Lushun from 1880 to 1890. They recruited civilians, expanded the waterway, dredged the harbor, reclaimed land, built artillery batteries, and constructed a harbor basin, transforming Lushun into a world-renowned military fortress and one of the five major naval ports of the time. The Qing government maintained control of Lushun for only 16 years until the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894. The ensuing decades saw separate occupations by Japan and Russia. On April 15, 1955, China and the Soviet Union held a handover ceremony for the Port of Lushun, and from April 16, the People's Republic of China assumed control of the port's defense. It now serves as a training base for the North Sea Fleet, with the West Port undergoing expansion.

I really want to go in and take a look when I see it from the outside, but there is really nothing special inside. It is better to go to Xinghai. The ticket is 10 yuan, and the student ID is 5 yuan. It is a very small area of the sea. There are souvenirs for sale, and there are exhibitions of "relics" of Japan and Russia, introductions to major events and pictures, etc. You can see the Bohai Sea. The scenery is okay. I personally think that ten minutes is enough. There is nothing special about walking around. There are also four forts, which you can also go in and take a look. Anyway, it is not expensive, but be mentally prepared and don't have too many expectations.

The entrance fee to the Naval Base Park is 10 yuan. I didn't go in, I just looked at it from a distance.

There are some warships in the city of Lushun, but these warships can only scare North Korea or Tanzania.

The warships looked very old and were very far away.

I personally like the sea, so I prefer it, I won’t say anything else.

The Lushun Naval Port is located at Lushunkou, and you can overlook it from the Baiyushan Pagoda Scenic Area. There used to be a warning sign on one side of the scenic area prohibiting photography, but it was difficult to control because most tourists took photos, especially in the age of satellites.

I once saw a submarine cruising in the Lushun military port from the Baiyushan Tower.

The most distinctive feature of Lushun's coastal town, Lushun Naval Port Park, sits at the southern foot of Baiyu Mountain and on the northern shore of Lushun Naval Port. Facing the main waterway of Lushunkoumen to the south, it connects to Lushun West Port to the west, borders the 4810 Factory and Lushun East Port to the east, and borders Huanghe Road to the north. Built in 1985, the park covers an area of 5,839 square meters. Despite its small size and narrowness, its history dates back to the late 19th century.

The Lushun Naval Port is located next to Jiefang Bridge in Dalian's Lushunkou District. Many warships are parked inside the port, but it's located within a military base, so entry is prohibited without a permit. You can only admire the scenery from the outside. If you want to get to the beach to see the warships up close, you'll have to go a long way around. It's not a long walk from the Lushun Bus Terminal to the port; it's just two bus stops away at Jiefang Bridge Station. It's recommended to visit during the day, when the warships can be clearly seen and the visit won't take long. However, you can't climb aboard, so you can only admire them from a distance. Aside from the bustling area around the bus terminal, the rest of the Lushunkou District is dominated by historical sites, with few places for shopping and leisure.

The place in the picture should be the Green Water Naval Port Park, where some warships are docked. In Lushun, listening to the old people telling stories about Lushun is much better than going to any other place.

Very beautiful harbor, you can see the blue ocean

This is a military stronghold and entry is strictly prohibited, so just look outside.

Lushun was known as "Lion's Mouth" during the Yuan Dynasty, hence the majestic lion sculpture in Seaside Park, which essentially became the symbol of Lushunkou. In 1371, during the fourth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang dispatched Generals Ma Yun and Ye Wang to lead an army from Penglai, Shandong, across the sea to land here to recapture Liaodong. Because the sea voyage was smooth, the name "Lion's Mouth" was renamed Lushunkou, a name that has remained in use to this day.

Seaside Park, also known as Naval Port Park, is home to the Lushun Naval Port, a natural, ice-free harbor. Standing in the park, you can get a close-up view of the port. With a bit of luck, you might even witness the majestic spectacle of warships or submarines entering and leaving Lushun. The combination of seagulls and warships is a sight rarely seen elsewhere. I even visited a submarine when I was a child.

Jungang Park is perfect for a quiet visit in the early morning or evening when the crowds are small. The melody "The Jungang night is quiet, the waves gently rock the battleships"—when you sing or hum this tune in Jungang Park, endless emotions and endless reverie will arise. Therefore, it's recommended to visit Baiyu Mountain during the day. Take the winding road down the south slope and walk down for another five minutes to Jungang Park.

The tour of Naval Port Park does not take long, one hour is enough.

Lushun is 50 kilometers from the city center. For a hassle-free experience, join a day tour of Lushun for a hassle-free, worry-free, and affordable experience. Lushun Naval Port Park, a prime example of Lushun's coastal scenery, is located at the southern foot of Baiyu Mountain, on the southwestern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. Surrounded by Huangjin Mountain to the east, Laohuwei Peninsula to the west, and Laotie Mountain to the southwest, Lushun Naval Port enjoys a strategic location. The port was first established during the Qing Dynasty. From 1880 to 1890, the Qing government commissioned Li Hongzhang, then Minister of the Beiyang Fleet, to organize the Beiyang Fleet and manage the port. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Lushun was occupied by the Japanese. For decades, it was occupied by Japan and Russia until it returned to Chinese rule in 1955. It now serves as a training base for China's North Sea Fleet. Lushun Naval Port, blessed with unique natural conditions, is a world-renowned natural harbor. Its strategic location, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, has long been a battleground for military strategists. In those days, Japanese and Russian colonists fought fiercely for this place many times. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lushun Port has become an important base of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

The weather was not very good on the day I went there, it was a bit rainy, but it did not affect my good mood.

Just play around~ It's very small and boring! 10 yuan ticket, you know.

It was cloudy when we arrived, but the sea breeze made it not too stuffy and the scenery was very comfortable.

When I saw the warships parked there, I was suddenly excited. It was the first time I saw real warships.

Only a few dozen meters along the harbor coast are open, so there is little room to walk around.

Lushunkou District, a district under the jurisdiction of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, is located at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. It is a district within Dalian City, Liaoning Province, Northeast China, and was formerly part of Lüda City. It borders the Yellow Sea to the east, the Bohai Sea to the west, the Shandong Peninsula to the south, and Dalian to the north, 45 kilometers from downtown Dalian.

The port entrance faces southeast, with the majestic Golden Mountain to the east, the Tiger Tail Peninsula to the west, and the towering Laotie Mountain to the southwest.

The weather was good, but the sea breeze was cold. The streets were clean. Actually, places that are too touristy are not suitable for living. I don't like too many people.

Lushun is surrounded by mountains with only a small opening, which can naturally block the invasion of foreign ships. There is a saying that "one man guarding the pass can stop ten thousand men from opening it".

Don't take a speedboat to the port. It only took three minutes to float around the sea and you can't see anything. You can't enter the military jurisdiction at all. It costs 250 yuan per person.

The 10 yuan ticket is just for a walk, to learn about the Sino-Japanese War. In 1894, Japan occupied Lushunkou, which was liberated by the Soviet army decades later.

The Jungang Park is quite small, with a 10-yuan ticket price. Student IDs are not accepted, but military IDs are half price. The park is surrounded by real military camps, so you can see warships and soldiers up close, albeit small ones. There are many seagulls nesting there, making it a great place to take photos when they soar.

The park specially opened for tourists to visit the naval port is located at the foot of Baiyu Mountain and is a very nice tourist attraction.
