Huludao, Prefecture-level city in Liaoning Province, China.
Huludao spans approximately 10,582 square kilometers along the northwestern shore of Liaodong Bay, housing nearly 2.4 million residents across six administrative divisions including Longgang, Lianshan, and Nanpiao districts.
Originally known as Jinxi until 1994, the region has been inhabited since ancient times with Bronze Age settlements, Ming Dynasty Great Wall fortifications, and served as a strategic location during 20th-century conflicts.
The city celebrates diverse local festivals reflecting Han Chinese traditions and minority heritage, while preserving historical sites like the Ming-era Xingcheng Old Town with its ancient walls and temples.
The city connects to major Chinese cities via high-speed rail reaching Beijing in three hours, extensive road networks, and local bus systems, with recent modernization efforts improving urban transportation standards.
Huludao houses Asia's largest zinc smelter and the Bohai Shipyard that constructs nuclear submarines for China, while its offshore oilfield produces around five million tons of crude oil annually.
