Lianyungang Travel Guide
Lianyungang, formerly known as Yingzhou in ancient times and Qin’s East Sea during the Qin Dynasty, later named Haizhou during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, derived its name from two prominent geographical features – Lian Island and Yuntai Mountain – when it was established as a port in 1933, combining the characters “连” and “云” to form “Lianyungang.” Today, this city stands as a pivotal port city in eastern China, the cultural birthplace of the renowned Chinese novel “Journey to the West,” the world’s capital of crystal, and a crucial intersection point for the Belt and Road Initiative.
In this city embraced by mountains, sea, port, and urban landscape, the essence lies in slowing down, enjoying the seaside, and exploring its ancient sites. The juxtaposition of modernity and prosperity at the Lianyungang Port, alongside the contentment of fishermen during the fishing season, adds vibrant hues to the city’s dynamic tapestry.
