Two large beautifully sculpted bronze colour seahorses welcome visitors to the scenic resort called Bangchuidao, resting in the east of Beach Road 5 kilometres off the heart of Dalian City. The resort’s islet – Bangchui Island (also known as Bangchuidao Island) spans for 0.3 square kilometres and is perched in the middle of the ocean, 600 meters off Bangchuidoa coast.

Bangchuidao resort is surrounded by sweeping sandy beaches and green rolling hills, where steep cliffs and reefs adorn the islet, accompanied by thriving wild flowers and grass. The pure white surf soaks the shore and retreat, leaving smooth round pebbles of all sizes and tones. The resort is also a popular spot for photo shoots, especially for wedding couples. They pose in front of the striking backdrop capturing the azure sky, deep blue sea and the charming rocky landscape of Bangchui Island.

The name Bangchuidao has been derived from the shape of the islet which resembles a Chinese club used during the ancient times as a washing tool. This wonderful summer resort boasts of mild climates, calm waves and clear waters in addition to the finest lido in Dalian. A popular Dalian hotel near Bangchui Island rests in the neighbourhood, while the resort houses a fine recreation centre for the active, furnished with a tennis court, mini golf court and an activity centre for the veterans.

The attractive panorama around Bangchuidao captures the mist-capped Sanshan Island, a picturesque island covered in mist all year round. The coast is rich with conches, sea slugs and crabs, while the rolling hills in its vicinity are wrapped in an emerald carpet made up of cypress and pine trees.
