Bangchuidao (Bansido) Island spot (Dalian)

At the end of my 3-days China labor day weekend, my friend Li Ting took me to a seaside park within the Dalian city limits, overlooking this beautiful, remote island, Bangchuidao (some people called it Bansido). This is absolutely a great scenic spot, and the deep forest surrounding it. This particular resort has the fantastic scenery of hills, sea, island and beach. The island is shaped like a wooden club (Bangchui) used by chinese people as a washing tool. Dao is island in english. Thus this island was named Bangchui Dao.

There are a lot of pine trees and i think cypresses also all over the hills in this Bangchuidao scenic area. The famous Bangchuidao Hotel is situated here covering an area hundreds of acres. This is the only national hotel in Dalian and it mainly accommodates government leaders such as Chairman of the People's Republic of China). Chairman Mao have lived here.
