[2025 Xingcheng Attraction] Travel Guide for Longhuitou (Updated Apr)

It's true that when you have the lowest expectations, you might get unexpected surprises. Huludao is a seriously underrated seaside city! It's perfect for introverts, and where else can you avoid the crowds during holidays? 🌞 🌟 Accommodation Recommendations I recommend staying near International Peace Plaza. You can book a room with a sea view. The beach is right downstairs, which is perfect for lazy people who have trouble getting up to watch the sunrise 🌅. If you really don't want to go downstairs, you can see it from the balcony, which is super beautiful 😄. 🌟 Attractions 1. Longhuitou: The high terrain makes for great photos! The sea water is a soft blue, which calms the mood. Also, it's super comfortable to walk on the boardwalk by the sea while feeling the sea breeze 😃 (laughing, my friend said that the photo of the cliff looks like I'm in Brisbane). 2. Bikini Square: I remember there being coconut trees, and many people camping by the sea, eating barbecue and playing interactive games. It's so pleasant, I tell you 😝. But this sea area isn't that pretty. 3. You can also discover other new places to visit. 🌟 Food Recommendations This is where we draw a blank. In the end, we went to eat Jinzhou barbecue, which is so funny hahaha, but it was really delicious 😋

Xingcheng Longhuitou Scenic Area is located near Xingcheng Beach in Xingcheng, Huludao, Liaoning Province. It is a beautiful tourist attraction with mountains and sea. According to legend, the name Longhuitou comes from two stories: The first is that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty passed by this place on his way back to Beijing and was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of the beach. He looked back many times, so it was named "Longhuitou" (Dragon Looking Back). The other legend is that there was a sea monster in Bohai Bay, and a dragon in training used its power to get rid of the sea monster. After the dragon completed its training, it left reluctantly, looking back frequently, forming the current Longhuitou Scenic Area. The main attractions in Xingcheng Longhuitou Scenic Area include Tingtao Pavilion, Guansun Bridge, Yinshi Pavilion, and Lanyue Bridge. From the viewing platform, visitors can overlook Longwan Beach and enjoy the vast Bohai Sea and beautiful coastline. Longhuitou

Longhuitou is located 5 kilometers south of Longwan Beach in Huludao. It overlooks Longwan Beach, surrounded by mountains and sea, with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. There are many sea-viewing platforms in the scenic area. Under the steep cliff is the vast sea, and in front of you is the beautiful coastline. Looking into the distance, Longwan Beach and Juehua Island are clearly visible. The coastal wooden plank road in the scenic area is built along the coast. There are various types of landscapes such as wooden platforms, cable bridges, sunken valleys, sea view corridors, pavilions and leisure squares along the line. Wandering on the plank road, surrounded by woods and winding paths, puts you in the embrace of nature. You can take a close look at the small scenery and look at the sea and sky, which meets the tourists' needs for leisure and sea viewing to the maximum extent.

| Huludao | Free! Go see the sea in autumn. Although you can't swim in the sea in autumn, there are fewer people and the scenery is beautiful. The weather temperature is very comfortable. The small seaside city 🏖️ has a very touching price. Huludao is not a traditional tourist city. You can turn around in Longhuitou during the day and watch the moon on the beach of the International Peace Square in the evening. Put some fireworks. 🎈Longhuitou is located in Xingcheng City, Huludao City, Liaoning Province, 2 kilometers south of Longwan Beach. Overlooking Longwan Beach, it is surrounded by mountains and the sea. The scenery here is beautiful and beautiful. It is one of the important tourist attractions in Huludao. Regarding Longhuitou, it is said that when Emperor Qianlong came out to play, he passed by here on his way back to Beijing. Seeing this beautiful scenery, he looked back more than once. This is the origin of Longhuitou. 🎈Xingcheng Beach is a national scenic spot, with a 14-kilometer-long beach, soft white sand and clear water, which is very suitable for swimming and beach leisure. Xingha Bay is the most beautiful and charming place in the entire beach.‌ The sea in the north is magnificent and magnificent, unlike the delicate beaches in the south. There are many gravel and reefs on the beach, but this gives many small animals a lot of habitat. Hermit crabs, small fish, various small crabs and sea snails can be seen. It is especially suitable for parent-child travel.

After entering Huludao City at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, I took the beautiful coastal avenue to Xingcheng Beach. When I passed Longwan Beach, there was a sign indicating "Longhuitou Scenic Area" ahead. There were few people at this time, and there was a row of parking spaces on the side of the road, so I decided to stop and take a look. I found that this is not an ordinary beach, it turns out there is a story! A large stone tablet is engraved with the origin of "Longhuitou". It turns out that in 1743 AD, Emperor Qianlong visited the mausoleum on the east tour, returned to Beijing and stayed in Ningyuan, watched the tide by the sea, and looked far away from the heights, saying: "Looking back at the sea, this is the place where the dragon is born!" Some people also said that when Emperor Qianlong left, he looked back more than once. There is also a myth related to the dragon, I still believe in Qianlong. Entering the park from the side of the road is a wide viewing platform, overlooking Longwan Beach, with beautiful scenery and sea and sky. Here is nearly 100 meters above sea level, and the steep cliff below is the vast sea. The 1,600-meter coastal wooden plank road connects Longwan Beach and Xingcheng Beach. This is one of the important tourist attractions in Huludao, and it is open for free. Blow the sea breeze and continue on the road.

Xingcheng, as a tourist city, has attractions besides the ancient city, including Juehua Island (called Peach Blossom Island in the Song Dynasty, not sure if it's the one in Jin Yong's novels, but it could be promoted), and several beaches. We visited Longhuitou and Bikini Plaza. 👍 Most recommended: Longhuitou has nice scenery and has been developed into a park. The road to the seaside is a cliff with intersecting boardwalks. The beach is relatively narrow, and there aren't many people. However, there are no cafes or anything, so you can only stand/sit on the viewing platform. 👍 Most recommended: Bikini Plaza is also a beach (Xingcheng is one of the three major swimwear bases in China). Many photo props for beautiful women to take pictures with have been built, and the famous large underwear sculpture houses a restaurant. It's not clear if it's open as the entrance looks a bit shabby, and there are quite a few weeds growing on the plaza. 📝 Tips to note: According to online sources, Bingjiawan also has nice scenery with a beautiful lighthouse worth visiting. We didn't go as it was too late. 🚉 Transportation guide: Longhuitou, Bingjiawan, and Bikini Plaza are all by the roadside, making them very convenient if you're driving.

When exploring the natural beauty of Xingcheng, one cannot miss the enchanting Longhuitou Seaside Scenic Area. Here, the waves gently caress the shore, as if the sea is giving a tender embrace to the land. Stepping into this coastal area, the first thing that catches your eye is the shimmering sea surface, like an endless sapphire embedded between heaven and earth. The sea breeze gently blows, carrying the salty freshness of the seawater and the call from afar, making one feel relaxed and happy. Walking on the soft beach, the fine sand underfoot feels like a carpet laid out by nature, with each step filled with comfort and pleasure. As you walk along the coastline, you will be captivated by the magnificent Longhuitou landscape. According to legend, a dragon once looked back here, leaving behind this beautiful scenery. Today, this spot has become a popular place for tourists to take photos and commemorate their visit. Standing on the viewing platform, you can overlook the entire seaside scenic area, with the vast sea, delicate beach, and distant mountains forming a beautiful picture that makes one linger. Here, you can fully enjoy the company of the sun, beach, and waves. Whether spending happy times with family and friends or immersing yourself in the natural beauty alone, you can forget the worries of the world and find inner peace. So, why not leave your footprints at the Longhuitou Seaside Scenic Area in Xingcheng, making this beautiful memory a bright spot in your life's journey.

🏨 Longhuitou Xiangyunduan 🚉Transportation guide: Departing from Beijing, you can choose to take the high-speed train or express train (within 3 hours), get off at Huludao North Station from Beijing Station, and then take a taxi to Longhuitou Scenic Area; you can also drive by yourself, which takes about 4.5 hours, and there is no admission fee! ❤Recommended reason: Passing by Huludao, if you don't want to go to places like Huludao Ancient Town or Xingcheng Ancient City, which are modernly built scenic areas, or don't want to waste too much time on Juehua Island, then coming to Longhuitou to watch the sea for free for two hours is really nice! 🌟Highlights: It is said that Emperor Qianlong, when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, frequently looked back after boarding the ship here because he was reluctant to leave the beautiful scenery, hence the name 'Longhuitou' (Dragon Turning Back). 👍Most recommended: Entering the scenic area, there are three paths from the trail down to the seaside, left, middle, and right. The middle is the steepest, and the sides are gentle slopes. You can experience different views on the way up and down. Beach walking, sea sightseeing, and clam picking, there is always one that suits you. You can also hike along the plank road, which is more than 1600 meters long. After coming out of Longhuitou Scenic Area, you can go to the nearby Huludao Ancient Town, which is a bit like a low-end version of 'Gubei Water Town'. There is also a light show at night, suitable for walking with children. At night, you can continue to Jinzhou to experience Jinzhou barbecue. 📝Note tips: The temperature here is lower than in Beijing in summer.
