Liaoning Tuanshan National Marine Park

Liaoning Tuanshan National Marine Park is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Liaoning Tuanshan National Marine Park centers around natural and cultural landscapes, meticulously planning and designing “One Belt, Seven Zones, and Twenty-Nine Scenic Spots.” Its attractions are rich in content, broad in scope, and entirely natural. With mountains meeting the sea and forests and springs clustering around, there is a painting at every ten steps and a scenic view at every hundred—drawing visitors from dozens of provinces and cities across the country.

Located in Yingkou Beihai New District, Liaoning Province, Liaoning Tuanshan National Marine Park features unique marine erosion landforms formed 1.8 billion years ago from early Proterozoic metamorphic rock formations. Its dikes, segregations, xenoliths, and crisscrossing joints have created nearly a hundred distinctive marine erosion landscapes in the area. The geological relics authentically record the ancient geography, climate, biology, and tectonics history concentrated along the intertidal zones between high and low tide lines dating back 1.8 billion years. These are especially valuable for studying the evolutionary stages of marine geological history and the formation of geological landscapes. It is one of the rare geological relics along China’s northern coast, holding great typical significance in earth sciences, extremely high scientific value, and international influence. Protecting these precious geological relics is not only a necessity for scientific research but also an inescapable historical responsibility bestowed upon us by nature. Establishing a national marine park aims to incorporate these sites into the nation’s unified planning and construction framework, further strengthening the legal protection of these valuable geological and marine ecological resources, enhancing development, management, and scientific research efforts, and fully leveraging their unique conservation value, high scientific value, as well as important economic and social value.
