Lushun South Road

Coming to Academic Square, immediately after starting along Lushun South Road from Heishijiao.

Lüshun South Road (Chinese: 旅顺南路) is one of the three highways connecting the Naval Port in Lüshunkou District of Dalian, Liaoning, China, with the city's downtown core. It is the last part of China National Highway 202, which runs from Hegang to Lüshun via Jiamusi, Tonghua and Dandong, and is about 32 kilometers long.

General

During the time when the southern half of the present-day administrative region of Dalian was Japan's leased territory, three strategic highways were developed between Lushun and downtown Dalian:

• Lushun North Road

From Lushun to the north, via Shuishiying, then heading east, parallel to the Bohai Sea coast, via Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport to downtown Dalian

• Lushun Middle Road

From Lushun to the northeast, through the mountains, via Huanghe Road to downtown Dalian

• Lushun South Road

From Lushun, via Baiyin Mountain Tunnel, along the Yellow Sea coast, to downtown Dalian

Lushun South Road is the most beautiful highway of the three, and passes through the livelier area of the city. It is about 32 kilometers long, and is the past part of China National Highway 202.

Tunnels

On Lushun South Road, there are two tunnels. The tunnels to the direction of Lushun were completed during the Japanese period as one lane roads, while the tunnels to the direction of Dalian were made in the 21st century as two lane roads.
