Lvshun
Lüshunkou (旅顺口), or Lüshun Port, is a southernmost district of Dalian City of the People's Republic of China. Surrounded by ocean on three sides, this strategic seaport was called Port Arthur by the Russian Occupation and Ryojun during the Japanese.
History
The communist Lüshun City was established on November 25, 1945 to replace the Japanese Ryojun City. The communist Lüshun, a subdivision of Lüda City, contains 40 villages in 3-district (Dazhong 大众区, Wenhua 文化区, and Guangming 光明), where as Ryojun, it had 40 districts. In January 1946, Wenhua was merged into Dazhong, and the 40 villages were reduced to 23 fang (坊). In January 1948, the remaining two districts were merged into one: Shinei (市内区), with 12 fang.
On January 7, 1960, Lüshun City was renamed Lüshunkou District, still under Lüda. In 1985, 7 of its 9 townships were upgraded to towns.
Subdivisions
The district contains 6 sub-districts and 7 towns (see Political divisions of China: Levels).
