Lüshunkou District (also Lyushunkou District; 旅顺口区) is a district of Dalian, Liaoning province, China. The district's area is 512.15 km2 (197.74 sq mi) and its permanent population as of 2020 is 398,579.[2][1][3]
Lüshunkou is located at the extreme southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. It has a natural harbor, the possession and control of which became a casus belli of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–05). Japanese and then Russian administration was established in 1895 and continued until 1905 when control was ceded to Japan. During that period, it was world-famous and was more significant than the other port on the peninsula, Dalian proper.
Also formerly called Lüshun City (旅顺市) or literally Lüshun Port (旅顺港), it was formerly known as both Port Arthur (Russian: Порт-Артур, romanized: Port-Artur) and Ryojun (Japanese: 旅順).
