“Huludao City, with beautiful mountain scenery, is a young and beautiful coastal tourism city, which connects the northeast and north China. It is known as the 'first city beyond Shanhaiguan Pass'." Yang Lifang proudly depicts the seaside scenery of Huludao, the most famous of which are Longwan coast, Xingcheng coast, Dongdaihe coast, and Juehua Island, the largest island in Liaodong Bay.

Huludao is also a legendary city. Xingcheng Ancient City is an important military hold in ancient China, and it is one of the only four ancient cities with complete walls preserved in China. "There are six national key cultural relics protection units related to the Great Wall in our city, with the Ming Great Wall stretching more than 240 kilometers," Yang Lifang said.

Huludao integrates "city, spring, mountain, sea, and island" five major landscapes in one. Food, housing, transportation, tourism, shopping, entertainment tourism elements are complete in the city, forming a unique style of the northern coastal scenic tourism area. With its unique tourism resources and geographical advantages, Huludao has become a "portal to the coordinated development of tourism in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei" in Liaoning Province, and has the reputation of "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Back Garden".

Huludao, an ancient, young, legendary and romantic city, is welcoming tourists from all over the world to enjoy the unique amorous feelings of an emerging coastal city!
