Dandong 丹东

1

The remaining span of the first iron bridge across the Yalu River, a nationally protected cultural site: bullet holes and twisted steel beams are preserved as they were in the 1950 bombing, and from the bridge you can look across the river to Sinuiju, North Korea

2

Dandong's largest comprehensive park, reportedly honored as 'the First Garden of Liaodong': from Shuguang Pavilion you can look over the Yalu River to Sinuiju, North Korea; the cherry blossom avenue blooms en masse in spring, and there are also a zoo and an amusement area

3

An indoor nostalgia-themed street named after Dandong's old name 'Andong': restored scenes of two-story arcade buildings, old shop signs, and vintage trams, bringing together mendzi (a local starch snack), seafood, Korean-ethnic snacks, and folk art performances—Dandong's top pick for a night out

4

The only national-level thematic memorial hall in China fully reflecting the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea: it consists of a memorial hall, a memorial tower and a panorama hall; the tower is approx. 53 m tall, and its holdings of relics and war-history materials rank first among museums of its kind

5

The eastern terminus of the Ming Great Wall, from where the wall runs south straight to the Yalu River bank: the restored wall rolls along the ridgeline, the summit overlooks both banks of the border river, and at the foot of the hill the "Yibukua" (One-Step Crossing) spot is only a few meters from North Korean fields

6

The "No. 1 mountain of eastern Liaoning", famed for its steepness: highlights are perilous stretches such as Laoniubei (Old Ox Back), Tianxiajue (Peerless Precipice) and Jianyan Peak plus a glass walkway, and a cable-car loop tour takes approx. 4-5 hours

7

A mountain-and-lake scenic area made up of three sections—Qingshan Lake, Feipujian (Flying Waterfall Ravine) and Hutanggou—with the Feipujian waterfall dropping dozens of meters and lake boats gliding between green hills on both banks; it has long been reputed as "Jiuzhaigou in the west, Qingshangou in the east"

8

A forest park famed for its maples, whose late-autumn red-leaf season is the benchmark for maple viewing in eastern Liaoning: peaks, ravines and primeval forest interlace, with wooden boardwalks and viewing platforms

9

A vacation island in the northern Yellow Sea and the historic battlefield of the Battle of the Yellow Sea (First Sino-Japanese War): the waters off the island's southeast are where the cruiser Zhiyuan sank on September 17, 1894; the island has a statue of Deng Shichang and memorial facilities for the naval battle, and Moon Bay beach has gentle sands

10

A small island fishing village in the Yellow Sea made up of more than ten islets and reefs: the tidal flats teem with shellfish and crabs, beachcombing, farmhouse-style fishing hospitality (yujiale), and a circular island boardwalk are the main experiences, and with fewer visitors than Dalu Island it feels more unspoiled
