10-day Yingkou itinerary at a glance
Use our full Yingkou travel guide as the base and adapt it to 10 days. Keep the city's three signature attractions as the backbone; fill the rest with neighborhood walks, food markets, and an easy day trip.
Treaty port, fort & temple
Yingkou opened to trade in 1861, the first port of the northeast; the 1882-built Xipaotai was shelled again in 1895, and the 1920s Lengyan Temple closes the loop downtown.

Bayuquan coast
About 20 minutes south by HSR, the 60-metre Bayu Princess statue watches a crescent of sand that fills with swimmers from June to September; Moon Lake's rides sit next door.
- yingkou shanhai square
- yingkou moon lake park
Deep time at Dashiqiao
An honest county day — the Jinniushan site in Dashiqiao yielded an archaic human skeleton in 1984, dated to roughly 280,000 years; the city museum sets the context.

Yingkou rest day
Slow morning coffee among the old banks, a seafood lunch, and packing for the Dalian run.
- yingkou liaohe old street
Gaizhou sea arches
West of Gaizhou, the north-sea coast stacks sea-eroded arches and terraces over a tidepool shore — a quiet counterpoint to Bayuquan's beaches.
- yingkou gaizhou beihai coast
Dalian — Binhai Road day (Liaoning)
An honest neighbour-city day, an hour south by HSR — Xinghai Square, the Binhai Road boardwalks and a seafood dinner before the last train.
- dalian
Dalian — Lüshun morning (Liaoning)
Out to Lüshun for its harbour-view hill and Russian-era streets, back along the coast for a sunset at Dalian's southern piers.
- dalian
Springs & slow coast
Morning at the mother-legend watchtower, an afternoon soak at the Hongxigu springs near Xiongyue.
- yingkou hongxigu hot springs
- yingkou wanger mountain
Panjin red-beach day (Panjin)
An honest cross-city run — two hours north, the seepweed marshes of the red beach burn crimson from late September, with reed maze and mudskippers beside.
- panjin
Old street farewell & departure
One more loop of the old street's bank buildings for snacks and photos, then the HSR from Yingkou East or Bayuquan station.
