Do you need to book Longwan seafront & Bijia Mountain area in advance?
No — Longwan seafront & Bijia Mountain area in Huludao does not need an advance reservation. Buy at the gate or walk in, depending on whether the site charges at all. That makes it one of the sights you can leave to the day, which is worth knowing when the rest of a China itinerary has to be booked a week out.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
These are the beach-and-promenade sights in and around the Huludao urban core (Longgang/Lianshan), reached by city bus, DiDi or taxi. The seafront parks and promenade are mostly free public space; any small ticketed viewpoint or tidal causeway is a walk-up with your passport. No advance booking needed.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — these are largely free public seafront, not a single ticketed gate. The Longwan (Dragon Bay) seafront and coastal promenade in the city core give you the Bohai coast without the trek to Xingcheng, and Huludao's own 'Bijia Mountain' (a brush-rest-shaped coastal hill with a tidal causeway) is the local equivalent of the better-known Jinzhou one nearby — a low-key half-day if you have spare time in the city, not a reason to come on its own. Mainly useful as a coastal stretch-your-legs while you're based in the urban core for Jiumenkou.
What to still watch for
No reservation does not mean no friction. Carry your passport — it is the ID checked wherever one is checked, and a photo of it is not accepted. Where there is a paid gate, expect the counter to want a domestic payment app rather than a card, which is worth setting up before you land. And anyone approaching you outside with tickets is selling something you do not need here — the sights that genuinely sell out are the ones with a reservation rule, listed in Reservation Radar.
