Laotieshan & Yellow-Bohai Sea Boundary
老铁山
The southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. From the century-old lighthouse you can see the boundary where the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea waters meet in different colours.
Laotieshan lies at the southwest tip of Lüshunkou District, facing Penglai in Shandong across the strait. The Laotieshan Lighthouse, built on the cliff top in 1893, and its adjoining viewing platform overlook the meeting point of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. On clear days, when the currents are right, a sharp line of blue and green water is visible. The area is also an important route for migrating birds, and large numbers of raptors pass through in autumn. The lighthouse area is a military-controlled zone, so opening hours and access depend on on-site rules. Admission is about 30 yuan. The site is about 20 km from central Lüshun and is best reached by car or hired vehicle, as the mountain roads are steep and winding.
