Introduction to the Deep Water Bouldering Site ―― Jieshi in Zhaomawan, Huludao, Liaoning
Jieshi is located on the coast of Zhaomawan, Wanjiacun Village, Suizhong County, Huludao City, Liaoning Province, about 700–800 meters from the shore. It consists of five or six massive rocks, one of which is a tower-shaped rock about 15 meters high, while the others range between 10–12 meters in height. The rocks are composed of a mixture of granite and quartzite, with their bases covered by thick layers of shells, algae, and coral reefs, making it difficult to stand barefoot. Visitors can rent local fishermen’s boats, speedboats, kayaks, or three-wheeled boats to get there. After climbing during the day, you can stay overnight in a local farmhouse or camp on the beach.
