Jinzhou

Jinzhou is a port city along Liaodong Bay with about 97 kilometers of coastline forming the eastern edge of the municipality. The city occupies a geography that links northern and northeastern regions as a natural corridor.

The area began as a county called Tuhe under the Han dynasty in the 2nd century BCE before fading in importance. It reemerged as a strategic military settlement during the Ming dynasty.

North Putuo Mountain serves as a spiritual center where visitors see Buddhist temples integrated into the daily rhythm of the city. The site reflects how religious practice remains woven into local life.

The city has a port and transport routes that link different districts and industrial zones. Getting around is straightforward thanks to the connected road and rail network.

Bijia Mountain features a 1620-meter road descending to the shoreline that was built entirely without using nails or metal fasteners. This construction technique demonstrates craftsmanship rarely seen in modern projects.
