Changhai County
An island county in the northern Yellow Sea, with the scenic Changshan Islands, a great place for summer escapes, beachcombing and seafood.
Changhai County lies in the Yellow Sea off the southeast of the Liaodong Peninsula, made up of the many islands of the Changshan Archipelago, and is an island county under Dalian, Liaoning. Islands such as Dachangshan, Xiaochangshan, Guanglu, Zhangzi and Haiyang each have their own character, with reef-lined coasts and sea-eroded landforms to admire, beachcombing and fishing-village life to experience, and plentiful seafood such as sea cucumber and abalone. Summers are cool, making it the peak season for island vacations, while in winter sea transport is easily affected by weather. You can reach the islands by boat from Dalian, and Dachangshan Island also has a small airport.
