Dongdaihe Scenic Area

Dongdaihe Scenic Area is located in Suizhong County, Huludao City, at the southwestern tip of Liaoning, adjacent to Shanhaiguan in Qinhuangdao. It covers Wanjia Town and its surrounding coastal villages, beaches, and historical sites, forming a seaside resort area along the Bohai Sea. Compared with the earlier-developed Beidaihe and Nandaihe, this area started later and still retains a relatively pristine fishing village atmosphere. The long coastline features open beaches, attracting many tourists from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to come for self-drive vacations. Dongdaihe Scenic Areafeatures Zhimao Bay as a representative seaside area, which was originally a quiet little fishing village. The beach here has a gentle slope and shallow water, with an open sea view. Multiple seaside bathing beaches line the coast, offering lively water activities such as speedboats and jet skis. After the tide goes out, grabbing a small bucket for clam digging, catching crabs, and picking up seashells is a classic family-friendly activity. After getting tired, having a seafood meal at a local fishing guesthouse is the best way to experience the leisurely vacation pace here. In addition to the seaside, this area also hides a rich history of coastal heritage. The Ten-thousand Buddhas Temple, originally built in the Liao Dynasty, is located by the sea in Zhimao Bay. The surrounding area also features historical sites such as the Jiumenmen Water Great Wall Scenic Area, Qiansuo Ancient City, Suizhong Leaning Tower, and the Twin Towers, Miaofeng Temple, which can be visited together at a leisurely pace.
