Lianyungang Liandao Island｜A Gentle Encounter with Mountains and Sea
A trip to Liandao Island in Lianyungang is absolutely worthwhile. Come and embrace a date with mountains and the sea, and discover the most soothing blue sky and sea in Jiangsu. As the largest island in Jiangsu and a 5A-level coastal scenic resort, it subverts people’s stereotypes of Jiangsu’s waters. With green mountains leaning against clear blue sea and sea breeze brushing the waves, it holds the most healing romance and tenderness of summer.
The romance of Liandao Island lies in its two distinctive beaches. Dasha Bay is a lively coastal paradise. Stretching endlessly with fine and soft sand, it is lapped by gentle, crystal-clear waves. You can wander and play on the beach, build sandcastles, or experience fun water activities such as jet skis and water bikes. The salty sea breeze blows away all weariness. The scenic area provides free beach chairs and sun umbrellas, allowing you to immerse yourself in laid-back coastal leisure effortlessly. It is a perfect destination for family trips and outings with friends.
If you prefer tranquility, Sumawan Bay is a must-visit. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the fourth, it forms a secluded paradise. Less crowded and more peaceful than Dasha Bay, it boasts clearer seawater and scattered reefs, creating an incredible aesthetic atmosphere. During low tide, you can hunt for shells and small sea creatures by the reefs for lovely surprises. Around 3 p.m., peacocks often wander among the mountains and woods, turning the stunning coastal scenery into picture-perfect views.
The coastal cliff walkway connecting the two beaches is the core highlight of Liandao Island. This 2.5-kilometer-long walkway is built along the mountains, with lush forests on one side and the boundless blue sea on the other. Strolling along the path, you will be greeted by caressing sea breezes and the rhythmic sound of crashing waves, with a panoramic view of the magnificent bay. Every step unveils a new breathtaking scenery.
Beyond the core scenic area, the free West Liandao Island hides niche romance. Popular attractions including the internet-famous lighthouse, rainbow staircase and coastal road feature amazing vibes. At dusk, the sunset glow spills over the sea, dyeing the sky orange. It is an ideal spot for chasing sunsets and taking stunning photos.
There is no need to travel far. At Liandao Island, you can enjoy the serenity of mountains and the vastness of the sea at once. Watch the tides rise and fall, listen to the whispers of the sea breeze, escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and store all tenderness and freedom in this beautiful land of mountains and sea.
