Dalian's islands are a scenic treasure that people often overlook. Compared to other famous archipelagos, the Changshan Islands of Dalian are much less known in China. For most Chinese people, these islands are unfamiliar, and even for most locals in Dalian, knowledge about these islands is limited. As the largest archipelago in the Yellow Sea and the second largest in China, the Changshan Islands are no less impressive in terms of island area and number than those famous archipelagos. The Changshan Islands consist of more than 200 islands and reefs, with a total area of 170 square kilometers. Located in the northern part of the Yellow Sea to the east of Dalian, they face North Korea across the sea , and are the only archipelago in the entire northeastern region. They are also the largest island group in the Yellow Sea and one of China's most important fishing bases, rich in treasured seafood such as sea cucumbers, abalones, and oysters. The islands feature steep mountains and winding coastlines. With a pleasant climate in summer, they are an excellent destination for island travel.
