Lianyungang- Wukong & Seafood Heaven!

Lianyungang is a must-visit city in China—especially for Sun Wukong fans! Huaguo Mountain (花果山) is celebrated as the legendary home of the Monkey King (and you can hike it!), and locals have fully embraced the myth with lively shows, attractions, and cool souvenirs. Bonus? The city serves some of China’s freshest, most affordable seafood (try the drunken crabs 醉蟹!). While some dishes might surprise Westerners and look a bit strange, trust me: every bite is delicious, and locals take huge pride in their culinary traditions. Do yourself a favour and explore here if you get the chance! #lianyungang #连云港 #huaguomountain #花果山 #sunwukong #孙悟空 #watercurtaincave #水帘洞 #jiangsutravel #江苏旅游 #lianyungangseafood #连云港海鲜 #chinesefoodie #drunkencrab #醉蟹 #tripmoments #discoverchinawithtrip #monkeykingadventure #coastalchina #couplestrip #china
