Lüshun Port

Lüshun Port (Chinese: 旅顺港; pinyin: Lǚshùn gǎng), formerly Port Arthur, in Lüshunkou District, Dalian, Liaoning province, China can refer to the original Lüshun Naval Port (Chinese: 旅顺军港) for military use or the New Lüshun Port (Chinese: 旅顺新港) for commercial use.

It is now home to the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) Liaonan Shipyard, in operation since 1883.

The Battle of Port Arthur on 8–9 February 1904 was the opening battle of the Russo-Japanese War.

Lüshun Naval Base (38.802°N 121.266°E / 38.802; 121.266) was established during the 1880s for Beiyang Fleet of the Qing dynasty, together with the headquarters at Weihaiwei. It is located to the south of the central part of Lüshun, in the bay of Lüshun.^{[citation needed]}

The control of Lüshun Naval Base changed several times in the first half of the 20th Century: from China to the Russian Empire from 1895 to 1904, then after the Russo-Japanese War to Empire of Japan from 1905 to 1945, then following the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the closing days of World War II in China to the occupying Soviet Union from 1945 to 1956, and then finally back to China in 1956.

New Lüshun Port (38.817°N 121.135°E / 38.817; 121.135) was established from the late 20th century to the early 21st century as Lüshun's economy started to thrive.
