One of the best places to go in Dalian and a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Including the waterfront the size of it is hugely impressive but it is not overwhelming and there is quite a lot to see there. It was a weekend afternoon when we went and beautiful weather so the area was very busy with Chinese... More

Xinghai Square is the largest square in Asia built on a monumental scale overlooking the Bohai Sea. it is popular with the locals with huge space to walk around and enjoy what is more like a large park than a square. Ideal for family & couples. Has some great 5 star hotels overlooking the Bohai sea.

This is a must see in Dalian! It is a huge, very nicely decorated square, near the sea. Do not miss the chance to take pictures with the metal human sculptures.

Xinghai Square is huge built on a monumental scale but great for that. Located next to the main promenade overloking the Bohai Sea it is popular with the locals but there is still plenty of space to walk around and enjoy what is more like a large park than a square.

As a European, it's hard not to be impressed by the audacious scale of this "square", which is actually an enormous oval. It's actually quite hard to appreciate from the ground, but a hotel is being built on the seaward edge of the square which should afford fairly spectacular views when completed. It was also great to experience an attraction... More

I wanted to try the streetcar, and found that I could board one not far from my hotel (Shangri La). After a leisurely ride, including a midway stop where everyone got off, and I had to walk half a block to take a connecting streetcar, I arrived at the XinghaiSquare stop. It was a Sunday evening in July, and an... More

Xinghai square is a large open park just outside Dalian. Beside the park is a very nice boardwalk that you can walk along for many kilometres. When we were there, they also had some amusement park rides set up and small shops open along the boardwalk which made for a nice day and walk. A definite must see in Dalian.

I went to Dalian for an internship. I found Dalian small compared to other cities in China. Many people say that Dalian is relatively clean, better than other cities, for sure. But, there are not many attractions in Dalian. Xinghai Square is just a square basically, like any other square. it's large, but that's it. Good for those who like... More
