The Amber Bay residential development is located on a beautiful rocky promontory that is among the last available parcels along the Dalian shoreline, southeast of the city center. The project features high-end low density modern style residential development including single family villas, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums; shops and seafood restaurants on the shoreline frontage; a specialty hotel and visitor facilities on the peninsula; and a clubhouse with driving range on the inland area.

The site plan reflects the dramatic shoreline geology, and respects existing topography, vegetation, and coastal views.
