You can take a bus from the bus stop in front of Dandong Railway Station for ¥5 per person. The last stop is Hushan Great Wall, and your original drop-off point is the return bus stop. Seats are limited on the bus, so latecomers can use small stools. Those arriving later must stand. The one-way journey takes about 40 minutes. Tickets for the Hushan long-distance route must be purchased an hour in advance, preferably a day in advance. The initial climb up the Great Wall was smooth, but it became steeper around platforms 3 and 4. Fortunately, it was cloudy with occasional drizzles, but you had to persevere to reach the final platform and enjoy the panoramic view! Gazing across the river at North Korea, you could see migrant workers hard at work, and occasionally hear them playing pep talks or music. It was truly magical and fascinating!

#falltrip The Great Wall of China extends over a vast stretch of the country, and a section of the Great Wall can be found in Dandong, a city located in Liaoning Province in northeastern China. The section of the Great Wall in Dandong is known as the "Hushan Great Wall" or "Tiger Mountain Great Wall." It's perched on Hushan Mountain, which offers panoramic views of the Yalu River and North Korea, which is just across the Yalu River's waters. The Hushan Great Wall is an important part of China's historical defense system. It dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and served as a strategic fortification along the northern border to defend against invasions. Dandong itself is known for its cultural and historical attractions, including the Yalu River Broken Bridge, which was bombed during the Korean War, and the Friendship Bridge, a symbol of the connection between China and North Korea. But more about that in another post. #SpinTheWorld #wecreate #trip

This lesser known Great Wall is more manageable to hike as it is not as long as the one in Beijing. Being lesser known, it also means lesser tourist, making the trip more enjoyable. What’s unique about this scenic spot is you can see North Korea from above, and there is a spot here that is literally one foot away from North Korean territory, but you can’t step or take photos in that spot. Don’t forget to eat authentic North Korean food when you are in the city. #newphotographer#travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#historicculture#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Dandong, Liaoning is the main border crossing between China and North Korea. A popular attraction is the broken bridge, bombed on the Korean side by the United States during the Korean War. You can walk to the end of what's left and gaze across to Sinujiu in the Hermit Kingdom. A river cruise is another way to get a good view of the Korean side. Dandong was also the end of the Great Wall of China during the Ming Dynasty. The heavily restored wall is another excellent place to look into Korea, as it's close to the modern border. Though the border is currently closed due to Covid, organized tours of North Korea ordinarily leave from Dandong, including day tours of Sinujiu and train journeys to Pyongyang. #LeaveYourMark #urbanexplorer #LightTheCity #Dandong #Liaoning #China #Korea #NorthKorea #GreatWall #GreatWallofChina #bridge

🌟【Dalian-Dandong-Shenyang 6-Day Tour Guide】🌟 Pain Points and Solutions Homogeneous attractions: Theme parks like Dalian Discovery Kingdom and Shenyang Fantawild are similar, causing aesthetic fatigue. ✅Solution: Dalian focuses on coastal scenery (Xinghai Square, Binhai Road hiking), Dandong highlights border culture (Yalu River Broken Bridge, Korean War Memorial Hall), Shenyang delves into history (Imperial Palace, Zhang Family Marshal Mansion), avoiding repetitive experiences. Lack of family services: Some attractions lack children’s packages and play facilities. ✅Solution: Choose Shenyang Fantawild winter night light show, Dandong Antong Old Street family snacks (fried steamed cakes, Dandong strawberries), Dalian Bangchuidao tide hunting and other kid-friendly activities. Time-consuming transport connections: Few high-speed trains from Dalian to Dandong, and Dandong strawberries in peak season risk “premature fruit.” ✅Solution: Buy tickets in advance, choose evening high-speed train to Dandong, buy strawberries after October, look for freshly picked labels. Daily Itinerary 📅Day 1-2 Dalian 🌅Day 1: Feed seagulls at Xinghai Square → Bike along Binhai Road → Tide hunting at Bangchuidao → Gondola night tour at Oriental Water City. 🌇Day 2: Fisherman’s Wharf → European-style buildings at Zhongshan Square → Night market on Xi’an Road for spicy steamed cakes and seafood dumplings. 📅Day 3-4 Dandong 🌉Day 3: Yalu River Broken Bridge (best for photos at blue hour) → Boat tour to North Korean village → Skewers at Antong Old Street. 🏞️Day 4: Hushan Great Wall hike → Korean War Memorial Hall (free reservation) → Boat tour on the river at Hekou Scenic Area. 📅Day 5-6 Shenyang 🏯Day 5: Wear Hanfu and take photos at Shenyang Imperial Palace red walls → Listen to Republic of China stories at Zhang Family Marshal Mansion → Eat Laobian dumplings on Zhongjie Street. 🌃Day 6: In-depth visit to Liaoning Provincial Museum → Korean food crawl on Xita Street → Return trip. 💡Practical Tips Clothing: Large temperature difference day and night in November, bring a light down jacket + scarf, windproof by the sea. Photography: Best light at the Imperial Palace is 3 PM, wear bright clothes at the Broken Bridge for better photos. Food: Choose Riyueming Fisherman’s Cuisine in Dalian, trust the old brand Ma Shiquan chive pockets in Dandong, avoid hidden-cost barbecue shops in Shenyang. ⚠️Notes Dandong strawberries are not available before October, don’t buy “premature fruit”! Choose Pier 2 for the best view on Yalu River boat tours, avoid “North Korean specialty” stalls near the bridge. Shenyang Imperial Palace is crowded on weekends, weekdays are recommended. 🌈Follow this guide to unlock the many charms of Liaoning’s three cities, avoid 90% of the pitfalls, and enjoy a worry-free and exciting trip!🚀

Hushan Great Wall｜A hidden gem on the Liaoning-Hebei border! Step across two provinces in one step, capture cinematic shots effortlessly⛰️ This might be the least crowded Great Wall! Hidden at the Liaoning-Hebei border, Hushan Great Wall lacks the crowds of Badaling, leaving only the tranquility and pristine nature embraced by green mountains. With fewer people, beautiful scenery, and a natural border buff, the morning mist wraps around the dark green mountains, the weathered bricks soak in millennia of history, sunlight filters through the leaves casting golden specks—every corner looks like it’s been filtered by a movie lens, perfect for artistic blockbusters📸 🌿 Border-exclusive experiences 1️⃣ "One Step Across" Check-in Spot The boundary stone’s bluestone slab clearly marks the line between Liaoning and Hebei provinces. Left foot steps on Liaoning, right foot on Hebei, with the Hun River shimmering quietly beneath, flowing along the border line. You can almost feel the clash of two cultures at your fingertips, unlocking a fascinating geography lesson! From here, you can gaze across to North Korea’s white-walled villages, vast rice fields, and scattered mountains clearly visible. Occasionally, fishing boats slowly pass on the river, making every snapshot a story-rich scene. 2️⃣ Untamed Original Great Wall Charm The unrestored wall reveals the truest wild charm. The 60° sloped steps are smoothed by time, and some sections require holding onto the weathered stone walls to climb—I was shaking in my legs! But every step treads on history’s imprint. The broken battlements and wild grass growing through cracks are badges left by time. When you reach the beacon tower—totally worth it! To the left, the Great Wall lies like a giant dragon resting on Hushan, winding to the distant mountains; to the right, the exotic scenery of North Korea unfolds, with fields, rivers, and villages forming a natural painting. When the wind blows, you can almost hear echoes of ancient and modern borderlands✨ 3️⃣ New Perspective from Hun River Boat Tour At the foot of the mountain, a 30 RMB boat ride slowly departs from the dock. Looking up from the shimmering water, the winding wall is framed by green mountains and sparkling waves. The wall’s reflection gently ripples in the water—a perfect angle that photographers will love! Sailing through, it feels like entering a secret landscape painting. The breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and river, and you might spot water birds foraging along the shore. The 20-minute trip is utterly enchanting every second. 📸 Photo Tips • Golden Hours: 1 hour after sunrise / 1 hour before sunset, soft light bathes the bricks in a warm golden edge. Combined with mountain mist or sunset glow, the atmosphere is instantly elevated; • Outfit Ideas: Cream white long dress + straw bag for a fresh, artistic vibe, blending with the mountains and water on the Great Wall, gentle and photogenic; or black Hanfu with a folding fan, instantly transporting you to ancient borderlands, showing both chivalry and tenderness. Capture the skirt fluttering in the wind for a lively shot; • Must-shoot Spots: ▫️ Beacon tower arch framing distant mountains, using the frame to highlight the Great Wall’s grandeur and the peaceful landscape, with negative space enhancing the mood; ▫️ "One Step Across" boundary stone + panoramic view, including the Hun River and both shores, shoot with a phone wide-angle lens to emphasize the border’s uniqueness; ▫️ From the boat, use the water surface as the foreground to capture reflections, with the wall and its reflection mirroring each other, creating a symmetrical and layered composition, complemented by green trees on the shore for fresh, soothing colors. 📍 Practical Tips Address: Southeast of the intersection of Dandong Kuandian 319 Provincial Road 🚗 Transportation: Direct tourist bus from Dandong Station (multiple daily trips, about 1.5 hours, 15 RMB per person) / 1-hour drive by car, free parking available at the scenic area; 🎫 Tickets: 55 RMB (half price with student ID, half price for seniors over 60 with ID); ⚠️ Note: The steps are very steep and some sections have no railings, be sure to wear non-slip sports shoes; there are many mosquitoes on the mountain, especially in summer, remember to bring insect repellent; spring and autumn have suitable weather, recommend bringing a light jacket as temperature varies greatly between morning and evening.
