In the archipelago of Dalian Changhai to find my own marine paradise island so much, let's have an enjoyable island hopping trip about Dalian city to Pikou Port to Changhai important transit station - Pikou Port Wharf first talk about Guanglu Island: Highlight 1: Seaview Castle Hotel Highlight 2: Seaview Unlimited Old Iron Mountain Park Highlight 3: Sea Sightseeing and Sea Fishing

I have recommended many coastal tourist cities suitable for couples and parents, like Sanya, like Xiamen, like Beihai, but without exception, when it comes to holidays, it is overcrowded, the cost of travel is greatly increased and the travel experience is greatly reduced, so I have been committed to finding a more niche and more fun ocean paradise.

[Dalian Changhai] is my new discovery, it is located in the northeast of Dalian, a hundred islands county, across the sea from the Korean Peninsula, is the closest border to South Korea, before arriving, I did not know that this is a treasure land, lush islands hide beautiful beaches, simple fishermen can eat cheap and delicious seafood, there are magnificent sunrises and sunsets every day, and two or three hundred pieces of invincible sea view rooms can be booked. The natural geographical advantages and the pleasant climate of warm winters and cool summers make it a unique holiday destination.

Natural scenery and humanities are on the one hand, the island's infrastructure is also very well done, beautiful seaview parks, majestic cross-sea bridges, convenient marinas, busy seafood markets, a variety of homestays and hotels, despite being a border land, but the same thriving, the same safety and tranquility, no need to worry about any inconvenience, plus there is no pile of tourists, so the travel experience is better than those traditional coastal tourist cities.

This is the biggest surprise I found on my travels this year, a treasure trove of natural scenery and tourist facilities, and I would like to thank Changhai County for protecting and building such an ocean paradise for those of us who love the sea.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > islands, let's have a fun island hopping trip</h1>

Dalian Changhai County is composed of a total of 112 islands, lumps, and reefs, of which 87 are large and small islands, and more than 20 are inhabited, collectively known as the Waichangshan Archipelago.

The land area is 120 square kilometers, the coastline is 359 kilometers long, and there are many harbors. Among them, the tourism development is better, the facilities are relatively complete is [big and small Changshan Island], [HaXian Island], [Hiroshima], [Zhangzi Island] and [Ocean Island] (location see the picture below), the names are very beautiful, just listen to the name makes people full of beautiful fantasies, these five islands, offshore is closer to the first three, within an hour of the boat can be reached, suitable for families with old and young, or want to enjoy a lazy couple's trip.

The last two are slightly farther, ZhangziDao takes three hours, Ocean Island takes four hours, because the shore is farther away, so it has more sense of escapism and exploration, and the sea is clearer, suitable for small partners who love adventure and love quiet and photography.

The number of islands is a bit large, and everyone may be entangled in the choice of islands, but in fact, this is not a single choice question, you can choose more! If there is a 3-4 day holiday, you can choose 2 islands, if there is a 4-5 day vacation, you can choose 3 islands, each island has a different style, so that you can have more experiences, so that the journey becomes more colorful.

PS: There are also navigation between several large islands, for example, after arriving from Pickou Port to Hiroshima, you do not have to return to Pickou Port, but you can directly take a boat to the big and small Changshan Island, and the big and small Changshan Island can go to Haxian Island, Zhangzi Island, Ocean Island and so on.

⭐️ The specific schedule is not fixed due to the weather and tides, the official will be released one afternoon in advance, you can pay attention to the public number [Changhai Fisherman's Network] to view and buy tickets, or directly call the wharf phone to inquire.

< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > an important transit point to Changhai - Pikou Port Terminal</h1>

Pikou Port is located in Pikou Street, Pulandian District, Dalian City, on the shore of the Yellow Sea on the Liaodong Peninsula, across the Yellow Sea from the Changshan Islands, the port has a long history, as early as the Ming Dynasty Yongle years was an important berthing point in southern Liaoning. In the autumn of 1948, when a generation of literary heroes Guo Moruo took a boat from Hong Kong to the northeast and passed near Pikou Port, he was attracted by the beautiful scenery here and gladly wrote, leaving an immortal verse of "The boat in front of the Nest is suspended, the sun is shining and the sea is flat; the ocean is full of green in indigo, and the coral of The island is listed on the screen".

From Dalian city to Pikou Port after the car to see such a red and white European-style building, here is the Pikou Port, from the Pikou Port to the size of Changshan Island, Guanglu Island and Haxian Island more frequency, the fare is between 45-55 yuan, through the public number [Changhai Fisherman's Net] can query the frequency and advance network booking, to the dock and then use the ID card to get the ticket.

If you are going to Zhangzi Island or Ocean Island, there will be more boat trips to Xingshutun Port

The automatic ticket machine at pikou port terminal directly swipes the ID card to get the ticket, which is very convenient.

This is a ro-ro ship from Pikou Port to Hiroshima, the first floor is loaded, the second floor has seats to carry people, the vehicle can also be ferryed over, the price is 400 yuan / car, but because the island is not large, taxi will be more cost-effective.

Standing on the deck, watching the bow cut open ten thousand pear blossoms, the stern of the ship thrown out a thousand white exercises, the boat to drive the waves, the waves to help the boat, taking pictures is still very beautiful, 50 minutes of sailing will soon be sent off.

If you come to Changhai in the summer, there will be seagulls following along the way, and you can prepare some bread in advance, and you can take a photo with the seagulls.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > let's talk about Hiroshima:</h1>

It is highly recommended that you put Hiroshima island in the first stop of the itinerary, because the transportation here is relatively convenient, the style of the island is more casual, and it is very suitable for resting after a long flight and adapting to the island life after arriving in Dalian.

In Dalian's Pikou Port and Xingshutun Port can be reached by boat, it is recommended that everyone take it in Pikou Port, where there are more departures, and you can also buy tickets online a day in advance, which is more convenient.

PS: There are two piers in Hiroshima, we arrived at the Tachiro Home Port from Pikou Port, and if we came from Xingshutun Port, it was the North Circle Port that we arrived at

PSS: If you want to go from Hiroshima to The big and small Nagayama Island, you also have to take a boat at the Tachiro Home Port, and the mandarin duck port of The Great Changshan Island is generally in the morning and afternoon.

Hiroshima is the largest island in the entire Changhai County, but also a relatively well-developed island, an area of about 31.5 square kilometers, almost equal to the area of a street in Chaoyang District, Hiroshima has a total of three highlights are more attractive, followed by a detailed explanation:

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > highlight one: The Seaview Castle Hotel</h1>

We all know the importance of a good hotel for sea view vacation, can greatly improve the experience of the whole trip, which is also an important reason why we chose to come to Hiroshima, there is a very beautiful seaview castle hotel on the island called [Changhai Discovery Kingdom Hiroshima Resort], which is the best hotel in the whole island, four-star level, like an ancient castle, standing on the coastline, very beautiful, ancillary facilities have pools and beaches, balconies can see the sea, and the price is only 3, 4 hundred yuan, Compared with Sanya Xiamen, what is too much, if it is a large family or friends group to come, you can also book a European-style villa by the sea, the experience will be better.

PS: After booking the hotel, you can call the front desk to inform the boat departure time, and when you arrive at Hiroshima Pier, there is already a car waiting here, directly to the hotel (about 15 minutes by car), which gives people a good feeling, and you can also be sent to the pier for free when you leave.

Discover the Kingdom Hiroshima Resort and Resort in a posture of surrounding the sea between the mountains and the sea, and the appearance is very good

In addition to the main building, there are such small villas next to it, if many people can choose to live in such a room type, it is absolutely popular circle of friends.

Such a small seaside villa is a dream of many people, and in Hiroshima, it is a rare opportunity to spend a small amount of money to experience it.

The location of the villa is also particularly suitable for watching the sunrise.

The lobby of the hotel

We booked the most basic loft room type of the hotel, in the early 300 yuan, the room is very large, 50 square meters, but the only regret is that there is no window to see the sea

The hotel takes you down the road to a reef beach, which is good for taking pictures if the weather is nice

Immersed in this beautiful scenery, it feels so comfortable, so happy.

I think that everyone walking on the beach has a different mood and feeling, or excitement, or joy, or loss, or sadness... The sea has seen too many sorrows and joys, and has tolerated too much of the world's cold.

The water quality of this reef beach is very clear, and it is also possible to catch the sea here at low tide, and if you have any harvest, you can take it back to the hotel restaurant for processing.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > highlight two: the old Iron Mountain Park with unlimited sea views</h1>

The hotel is 10 kilometers away from the old Iron Mountain, you can call a taxi driver on the front desk bulletin board, and the round-trip hotel plus the commuting and waiting time in the scenic area are charged a total of 80 yuan a car.

The entrance fee of the old Iron Mountain Park is 30 yuan a person, a total of two points worth visiting, a viewing platform not far from the entrance of the park, which is the highest point in the whole of Hiroshima, overlooking the whole island, the scenery is pleasant.

Another point is the Matsu Temple, which has a backdrop of mountains and seas, excellent feng shui, and a view of Bird Island not far away.

The old Iron Mountain Park is still quite large, and the interior also needs a car commute, so when you are in the hotel, you can negotiate the price with the taxi driver, the general price of round-trip and waiting is 80 yuan, there are two stops in the park, the first stop is the observation deck, along the boardwalk you can overlook the entire Hiroshima Island.

If the weather is nice, the observation deck will be even more beautiful, and the red-roofed huts and blue coastline in the distance are a beautiful painting

The second stop is the Matsu Temple in Wanghailing, about 3 kilometers away from the observation deck, which is surrounded by the lake and has excellent feng shui.

Behind the Matsu Temple is the Fairy Lake surrounded by mountains, across a dam is the lake inside, outside is the sea, the lake and the sea hug each other, the sea and the lake are accompanied, it can be said that the sea out of the lake.

The mountains around the lake are rugged, the lake water is slightly rippling, and the cliffs stacked with boulders are reflected in the water, just like the scenery of the southern country.

Matsu was a native of Guanglu Island, his father was forced to die by a fisherman, he fled to Penglai, Shandong Province, to hide, and Han Zhong, one of the Eight Immortals, took pity on his tragic life and guided his cultivation, and eventually became a fairy. After returning to Hiroshima, Matsu eliminated the evil and the poor, and toured the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea to rescue fishermen in distress in the fierce winds and waves, and was the protector of fishermen in the Yellow and Bohai Seas. The people revered him so much that they called him Ma Laozu, and in the sixth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1633 AD), the Matsu Temple was built here.

According to the taoist chief in the temple, every year on the sixteenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, good men and women go to the temple on the island, burn incense and pray for blessings, bless the wind and rain, the grain is abundant, the fish and shrimp are full of warehouses, and the people are prosperous.

Around the Matsu Temple, there are cliffs and rocks, and the unique sea erosion landscape reflects the cultural and historical landscape.

Looking at the place where the sea ridge is located is really quite spirited, and from a distance, there is quite a feeling of overseas fairy islands

But in fact, I personally prefer to look at the bird island not far from the Hailing, the local people call it alum lump, uninhabited, the area is only 0.09 square kilometers, because the Changhai ecological protection has begun to bear fruit, so every April to September there will be tens of thousands of cormorants, black-tailed gulls and other seabirds to roost here, there are rare rare birds, the national second-level protected animal yellow-billed egret this summer migratory bird breeding here, and the number of year by year, become the "bird shooter" hall.

Locals say that after more and more missions, now the residents of Hiroshima Island have a strong sense of loving birds, some seabirds fly to the big island, residents will also take care of them, do not hurt them, Hiroshima people look forward to letting people around them know the appearance and habits of birds, so that alum lumps will always be birds and flowers.

With the development of the motherland, environmental protection has also become a key work related to the people's livelihood, in this regard, Changhai County has been in the forefront, we can enjoy such a resort as Hiroshima, I believe that in the future we and nature will be more harmonious, and will no longer envy the living environment abroad, because in our own homeland there is also such a beautiful marine paradise.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > highlight three: sea sightseeing and sea fishing</h1>

When you get to the island, you have to go out to sea to see the beautiful coastline, and the coastline of Hiroshima Island is also very outstanding in the entire Long Sea Islands, where there are steep Shogun Stones and Fairy Caves, and there are tens of thousands of seabirds living in the summer, bird islands that live in the summer, at sunset, charter a dinghy, along the coastline to take a trip around the island, especially comfortable.

Visiting the sea by boat is a reserved project of Hiroshima Island, because the coastline here is unique in the whole of Changhai County, not only can you experience the fisherman's style, but also appreciate the majesty of the Shogun Stone, if it is a calm day in April and September, you can also go all the way to Bird Island for bird watching, it is still very worthwhile.

About 20 minutes after going to sea at the Moon Bay Pier, at the foot of the Old Iron Mountain, I saw two boulders standing in the sea, the one that was twenty meters high, and looked at it from a distance, like a giant standing on the surface of the sea, which was the famous General Stone.

Legend has it that this large stone was made by a local hero, who was secretly calculated to fall into the sea in the process of repelling the pirates, and where it fell, the sea water was like a pot, whistling and churning, and suddenly a boulder was erected, and people looked very much like a general.

When his daughter saw it, she pounced on it quickly, and before she could get close, she froze and turned into a boulder, and the father and daughter stood on the shore of Hiroshima Island, guarding the treasure island day and night.

Originally, the itinerary also included Bird Island, but today is the autumn festival, changing days, wind and waves are larger, for safety, Bird Island can not get close, slightly regrettable.
