Moon Island
月亮岛
A river island in the Yalu River, connected to the city by a bridge, with walking trails looping around it that offer another angle on both banks and the twin bridges.
Moon Island lies in the Yalu River about 2 kilometres downstream of the Broken Bridge. It is not large, and it is linked to Zhenxing District's riverside avenue by the Moon Island Bridge. The island has green spaces, walking trails, hotels and the Yalu River Art Museum, and a walk around it takes about an hour. The east side of the island is very close to the North Korean shore, where you can see Sinuiju in the distance. Looking back, you see the riverside buildings of Dandong and the Friendship Bridge. Admission is free. It is ideal for an evening bike ride or a stroll to watch the sunset, and it can be linked with Yalu River Park and the Broken Bridge on a riverside walk.
