Welcomes friends from all over the world

According to the ranking of total tourism income of Liaoning Provincial 
Department of Culture and Tourism, as of June 2019, the scale of the Dandong 
tourism industry ranks third in Liaoning province, and has formed the "Golden 
Triangle" of Liaoning tourism with Dalian and Shenyang. 

Dandong, the largest border city in China, is located in the southeast of 
Liaoning Province, at the confluence of the Yalv River and the Yellow Sea. It 
is the easternmost starting point of the Great Wall and the northernmost end of 
China's coast. It is divided by a river from the Democratic People's Republic 
of Korea and is a close neighbor with South Korea and Japan. 

As "National Excellent Tourist City", "National Garden City" and "National 
Sanitary City", Dandong is the most famous hot spring resort in Northeast 
China, the second marine hot spring city in China, and the "best drive travel 
destination city in China". 

Relying on the rich and unique cultural tourism resources, Dandong City has 
made great efforts to create the image of "a beautiful city with mountains, 
coast, river, and farmland". Dandong has a pleasant climate, no too cold in 
winter and not too hot in summer. Its forest coverage is 67%, making it one of 
the most suitable cities for human habitation, known as "North Jiangnan". 
Dandong is rich in food resources, a wide variety of special seafood and 
agricultural products. Korean and Manchu dishes are also local specialties. 

Dandong is located at the core of the Northeast Asian economic circle and the 
convergence of the two economic circles around the Yellow Sea and the Bohai 
Sea, which have attracted worldwide attention. There are famous sites: Yalv 
River Broken Bridge, Phoenix Mountain, which enjoys the reputation of "National 
Gateway Mountain" and "the Top Mountain around the Great Wall", big pear trees 
that bloom in spring and yield fruits in autumn, Deer Island for surfing and 
eating seafood, and Qingshan Ditch. More than 100 scenic spots are dotted 
around the city, forming a unique border picture and a spectacular hundred-mile 
cultural tourism corridor.
