Huludao City
A coastal city in western Liaoning, where Xingcheng Ancient City and bathing beaches combine history and holiday leisure.
Huludao City lies in southwestern Liaoning along the Liaoxi Corridor, facing Liaodong Bay on the Bohai Sea to the south, at a key crossing between the regions inside and outside the Shanhai Pass. Xingcheng, under its administration, preserves the Ming-dynasty Ningyuan garrison city, one of China's better-preserved ancient cities, with its Bell and Drum Tower, Confucian Temple and Governor's Mansion open to visitors. Xingcheng's seaside bathing beach and Juehua Island (Chrysanthemum Island) suit summer swimming and holidays, and Xingcheng is also known for its hot springs. Suizhong has the Jiumenkou Water Great Wall. Summer is peak season for the beach, while spring and autumn suit exploring the ancient city. Xingcheng Station and Huludao North Station on the Beijing–Harbin high-speed railway are the main gateways.
