Bangchui Island
棒棰岛
A state guesthouse scenic area on the eastern stretch of Binhai Road, with reef islets, clear seawater and pebble beaches. It is one of Dalian's best beaches for water quality.
Bangchui Island Scenic Area sits at the eastern end of Binhai Road. It takes its name from a small offshore island shaped like a mallet (bangchui). The park has hills and woodland, rocky shores and pebble beaches, and its clear water is ideal for swimming in summer and for clam-digging along the shore. From the coast you can look out to Bangchui Island and Sanshan Island. The Bangchui Island Guesthouse inside the park has hosted national leaders many times. Admission is about 20 yuan, and opening hours are roughly 7:00 to 18:00. Take a bus or taxi to the park gate, or ride a bike or sightseeing bus along Binhai Road. Summer weekends are crowded, and parking is tight.
