Xinghai Square, located on the southern seashore of Dalian, is a landmark of this city. Its area, which is larger than two Tiananmen Squares, brings a sensory impact. Here, there are not only beautiful sea views and charming night views. The lighthouse, sculptures, seawalls and even the surrounding high-rise buildings are all backgrounds for taking photos. The whole square is oval in shape. On both sides of the central avenue running through the north and south of the square, the grass is lush. The beacon stone pillar lights are arranged in a line leading directly to the sea. On the red marble all over the center of the square are engraved the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, 24 solar terms and 12 Chinese zodiac signs. At the southern end of the square, there is also a giant city sculpture, and on the ground there is a long relief of a thousand people’s footprints. In addition, you can see figure sculptures in various postures such as competing athletes and children skating on roller skates, as well as a large musical fountain surrounding the square. During major holidays, you can also see heroic female mounted police patrolling on horses. In summer, the square becomes the venue for the grand International Beer Festival and turns into a paradise for carnival. At the end of July and the beginning of August every year, the China International Beer Festival, which is held once a year, will be held on the square. At that time, major wine merchants and tourists from all over the place will come to taste. Opening hours: Open all day all year round. Service facilities: Toilets: There are toilets in the scenic area, which are located near facilities such as the carousel and Xinghai Bay Bathing Beach, and are marked with eye-catching signs. Restaurants: There are restaurants in the park, which are located near Dalian Xinghai Convention and Exhibition Center and Xinghai Bay Amusement Park, etc., and are marked with eye-catching signs. Tips: 1. Xinghai Square at night is very beautiful under the embellishment of lights, but after about 9 pm, most of the landscape lights will be turned off. The music fountain generally starts around 19:30 in summer. 2. There is a Xinghai Bay Bathing Beach (artificial beach) on the west side at the southern end of Xinghai Square. It is open for free. There are many tourists who come here to swim in summer, but the sand quality and water quality are average. 3. During the beer festival in summer, due to the need to arrange the venue, some areas of the square are usually closed.
