Xinghai Park

It is an open seaside park with a long history, consisting of a land park and a bathing beach. The bathing beach is one of the four major bathing beaches in Dalian.
The bay is called Xinghai because of the unusually shaped boulder called the "Star Rock" that appears on the surface of the water. Xinghai Park faces the sea.
The park is now divided into four areas: a tourist area, a rest area, a children's playground, and a bathing beach. The water park has entertainment facilities such as a water slide.

A must-see destination, beyond description. Its grandeur and spaciousness mean it never feels crowded, no matter how many people there are. Its modernity and history make it a favorite among young people and even older generations. With its seaside location and bridge, its motto is the beautiful fusion of nature and man-made beauty. Its lush greenery and tall buildings make it an oasis within the modern city. Some say it takes over two hours to spend there, but for me, I spent half a day flying a kite, watching the seagulls, and enjoying the ocean breeze.

By frost |

Xinghai Park is more interesting, like the rooster taking a stroll by itself, and the uncles and aunts playing cards together. You can also see the Xinghai Bay Bridge from a better angle.

By Jumping around |

Located in the southwest of Shahekou District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, west of Xinghai Square, it was built by the South Manchuria Railway Company in 1909 and was called "Xinggepu Amusement Park" at that time. Xinghai Park Bathing Beach is one of the four major bathing beaches in Dalian City. Xinghai Park is known as the largest "summer paradise" in Dalian City. It is now divided into four parts: tourist area, rest area, children's amusement park, and bathing beach. Xinghai Park, Dalian's first water park, has been newly built in Xinghai Park - Xinghai Water Park, which is located at the foot of a small hill on the west side of Xinghai Park. It has water entertainment facilities such as high-platform water sliding, magnetized swimming pool, high-platform diving, etc. You can also get a close look at the cross-sea bridge.

By Little Red Fox |

Xinghai Park is a real children's amusement park with a full range of entertainment facilities. Each item costs 30 yuan, which is super easy to spend...



Xinghai Park and Xinghai Square are truly a place where you can spend a lot of money. Perhaps because of their sheer size, they've packed it with carousels, Ferris wheels, and bungee jumping. So don't worry about running out of things for your kids to do in the park or square. This isn't just a park with flowers and plants, nor is it just a square with buildings. Younger children can enjoy the train and carousel; older ones can enjoy the pirate ship and high-altitude swings; even parents can enjoy the bumper cars and reminisce about their childhood joys.

By Danny |

It only takes about ten minutes to walk from Heishijiao to Xinghai Park, so you can visit them together. Compared with the primitive Heishijiao Park, this place clearly has more commercial atmosphere. The carousel and Ferris wheel on the shore attract many children. The most exciting thing is the bungee jumping on the sea, which is the star project of Xinghai Park. Unfortunately, I am nearsighted, so I decided not to play it for the sake of safety ┐(´-`)┌In general, it is just an ordinary seaside park with average water quality and many tourists. If you are not interested in bungee jumping and don’t have much time, there is really no need to come here.

By Coordinates of the stars in Japan |

The sea is beautiful! It's a place where you can forget your worries.

Lying on the beach, feeling the breeze and looking at the sea, my mood suddenly becomes cheerful.

There were many adults and children nearby, setting up tents and making sand sculptures. I couldn't help but sigh, this is the life I long for.

By Little Creek |

The beach has a lot of kelp. Everyone is so tanned from sunbathing, hahaha. You can take a speedboat to Xinghai Park here. The guy driving the speedboat is really fun.

By Star Traveler |

The park is completely free and you can walk all the way to the beach. The scenery is beautiful and there are many recreational facilities, as well as star stones and moon stones.

By hyacinth! |

There is a beach in Xinghai Park and a playground next to it.

By Taishada |

Located near Xinghai Square, it is named after Xinghai Bay. It is not bad.

By O |

How can you miss Dalian's Xinghai Park, a coastal park? Enjoy sea bungee jumping, Sun Asia Ocean World, and more—a place where both adults and children can find joy.

By Chinese Eagle |

The west side of Xinghai Square was built by the South Manchuria Railway Company in 1909 and changed to its current name in 1945. Because there is an "alien stone" exposed above the water in the bay, it is called "Star Stone" by people, so this area is called "Xinghai Bay", which is also the origin of the name of Xinghai Park.

By Egg-filled pancakes |

The weather was so cold, the wind was so strong, and the temperature was so low, but there were so many people swimming. There were many Korean tourists on the beach taking photos, and they also saw the mermaid statue in the Xinghai Bay scenic area.

By Swirling Water |

Xinghai Park is located next to the sea. It's very large and has a rocky coastline where you can catch crabs. The park square is also large, with many groups doing morning exercises.

Xinghai Park is an open seaside park with a long history, consisting of a land park and a bathing beach. Xinghai Park Bathing Beach is one of the four largest bathing beaches in Dalian.

The bay is called Xinghai because of the unusually shaped rock called the "Star Rock" that appears on the surface of the water. Xinghai Park faces the sea, with a relatively flat east side and a few hills on the west side, creating a pleasant scenery.

The park is now divided into four parts: a tourist area, a rest area, a children's playground, and a bathing beach. Xinghai Water Park features water slides, a magnetized swimming pool, a high diving platform, and other water recreational facilities.

Xinghai Park, the city's largest seaside park, consists of a coastal park and a bathing beach. Xinghai Park Bathing Beach is one of Dalian's four largest bathing beaches and is known as the city's largest "summer escape." Take a nighttime stroll to admire Dalian's starry nightscape and experience the vibrant colors of this romantic city.

By Chengsousou |

I went there in 2004, and when I went there again in 2012, it had become a city center park with abundant entertainment facilities. It is located by the sea and has a great location.

By Fion. |

It's a local landmark. It's nice to sit in the shade and watch the sea when you have nothing to do. There are many locals, a children's playground, and a bungee jumping area.

By Astirion |

The Ferris wheel glass was super dirty, and they probably knew it, so they opened the windows...

By QiqiqiZhengWen |

I saw the bungee jumping platform and the black reefs would be more beautiful at sunset. It is said that they got their name from these black reefs. Xinghai Park has many entertainment facilities.

By THRU |

From the park, you can see the cross-sea bridge and enjoy the night view. There are tons of seagulls there. There are rides and a bungee jump in the sea, which costs around 200 yuan. The park is incredibly crowded. One of the unique features is the two large slopes, and many children buy those special skateboards to slide down. Those special skateboards are probably considered a Dalian specialty, haha. We arrived in the evening and sat on the steps, waiting for nightfall. Finally, the lights on the cross-sea bridge gradually came on, changing colors.

By Being wants to eat carrots |

Xinghai Park, a historic, multifunctional seaside park in Dalian, is located next to Xinghai Square. Legend has it that it was formed from a "star stone" from outer space, hence the name "Xinghai." It's a large, comprehensive seaside park offering seaside viewing, summer escapes, and sea bathing. Admission is free, and there's a Ferris wheel and speedboats for feeding seagulls.

By Southern Sun |

Dalian is a city full of humanity. Developed, gentle, and passionate. This is probably what we call diversity.

By The open space in the north 🌛 |

There's a spot near the sea in the park where many seagulls fly in the sky. Their snow-white feathers and broad wings scramble for food as tourists feed them. The clever seagulls are reluctant to leave because there's plenty of food here, all free, so they don't have to expend the energy of catching fish in the water. It turns out animals are lazy and gluttonous, haha. The flying seagulls, the bridge, and the seashore all in one frame were exactly what I wanted to photograph, but there were so many tourists that I only managed a quick shot.

By -Zhu Bajie's second aunt |

I went bungee jumping with my good friend. The last time I went to Xinghai was five years ago. It was very lively at night. This time, it was completely different when I went during the day, but it was also very beautiful.

By Qian Luoyan |

The hotel is right next to Xinghai Park. After dinner, we walked back along the beach and felt the sea breeze. It was still very cool.

By little witch |

The only downside to Xinghai Park is that it's just ocean and no beach. However, the rocks along the beach gave us the fun of catching crabs. Xinghai Park has a large playground with a variety of rides, including bungee jumping and a speedboat! This afternoon, we enjoyed two of the attractions and then spent the afternoon catching crabs by the beach. As someone with a fear of all soft-bodied reptiles, catching tiny crabs the size of spiders was out of my reach! So, I just scraped through the rocks and let the kids catch any small crabs I found.

By Remnant |

We entered Xinghai Park through a small gate. At first we thought there was nothing there.

It's actually a beach, but there's a lot of kelp.

There is also an amusement park next to it

By Lynn⛵ |

Sunshine, beaches, sea breeze, and a high vegetation coverage rate! There is also the thrilling bungee jumping. Even if you don't bungee jump, you must buy a sightseeing ticket to go up and see it. The scenery from above is completely different!

By Yingyingying |

I went to Xinghai Park mainly for bungee jumping. I felt that the other facilities and scenery were just average.

By Lazy Cat |

It is a park and also a beach with marine entertainment facilities where you can bring your children to play.

By Walking in the valley wind |

The impression is average, there is no special scenery, the sea water and the beach are too ordinary.

The overall feeling is that of a street park, so there is no need to come here specially.

By Lu Rending's ambition |

It's a pretty clean beach, a pretty clean sea, and the breeze is nice. There are some small amusement facilities around, which are not open much in winter. There is also the Sun Asia Ocean World next to it, which you can visit.

By Little Octopus Brother 🐙 |

It's worth a visit. There are quite a lot of people in the summer night.

By Niu Niu |

The environment is very good and the amusement facilities are also suitable for children!

By summer |

In the evening, it is occupied by square dancing aunties, and there are fewer young people.

By doudousha |

You must go here. From here you can walk slowly along the beach.

By Threatening to laugh |

Find a corner to take a rest and look at the surrounding scenery

By Fay |

As soon as we entered the park, the children were attracted by the sea water and jumped into the water to swim. They were completely inexperienced! But they were brave. After flapping their wings for a long time, they dared to go to the deep water. They didn’t play anything else.

By Jay |

The street parks next to the living area are so full of sea flavor. I really envy the people who live there. They can watch the sea and hear the sea breeze every day.

By Sleeping thoughts* |

Xinghai Park is particularly fun, especially at night when many residents come here to dance and relax, and observe the customs and practices of Dalian people. There are famous Dalian specialty snack shops between the park and Sun Asia Underwater World, where you can enjoy delicious food.

By enjoy |

It's fun. The park is connected to the Sun Asia Ocean World and the Xinghai Bathing Beach. I did a Ferris wheel, and at night there were many people dancing in the square. It was fun. The stones on the beach were a bit prickly, but it was nice to blow the sea breeze. In short, you have to experience it yourself. It's great 😁

By Yang Ying🐑 |

The park is not very big! I guess it’s full of locals! There are a lot of people exercising in it!

By Ah Q |

The next morning, I couldn't wait to go to Xinghai Park. I walked on the pebbles, the sand, and the sea water. I caught small fish and crabs. I sat on the beach, feeling the sea breeze and watching others playing in the water. I felt so happy.

By Cassie_LazyX2 |

As soon as you enter Xinghai Park, it is mysteriously cool. The sea is not so clean anymore, and you can see the cross-sea bridge, which is very spectacular.

By Cc |

The beach is just a few minutes away from Xinghai Park, and the most important thing is that you can see the Xinghai Bay Cross-sea Bridge, which is very spectacular. Many people recommend taking a taxi and speeding across the bridge to feel the blue of the sky and the sea. When the weather is not hot, the bridge also has a sidewalk, so you can walk slowly on the bridge.

Not all beaches have fine sand. There's a kind of beach called a pebble beach, and there's a kind of beach called the Dalian beach. Girls, don't challenge yourself; I've tried it myself and it really hurts your feet. You absolutely have to wear sneakers.

By ShitLee |

There are some amusement facilities and adults rarely go here to ride amusement facilities.

By Ingot |

When visiting Dalian, Xinghai Park is a must-visit, no matter how beautiful it is. But I really recommend it!!! The Xinghai Park pirate ship!!! At night, for the price of one ride, you get unlimited rides!!! You can ride as many times as you want!! I don't think you'll get to spend 40+ minutes on a pirate ship in one sitting, haha.

By Aquarius Aunt |

It's not big, really not big. You can see the sea and there is a playground for children to play. The best thing is bungee jumping, but unfortunately I didn't go.

By Miao Xingren |

You can see the sea at the beach of Xinghai Square, which is very, very, very beautiful.

Generally speaking, Xinghai Square is too big, and the big fountain was still under construction when I went there, so it was a bit regrettable.

But one thing is that the adjacent amusement park is very dirty and messy, and there are a lot of messy people and outdoor areas, so the whole square is very noisy.

By Baby Bei |

The crowds, the blue sea and sky, the cross-sea bridge, and the amusement park are all great.

By Liu Moumou |

There are many entertainment facilities, the beach is also nice, and you can see the cross-sea bridge.

By The prodigal girl |

There are amusement facilities in the underwater world. There is a sea in it. Although it is not very big, it will still make you feel open when there are few people.

By Tansheng |

The square is really impressive, close to the seaside, with a large flock of seagulls in the distance and the cross-sea bridge and square. It's beautiful.

By mimu411 |

The beach is okay, but there are a lot of pigeons. It would be more interesting to take the tram.

By Midsummer Light Years_Min |

It's not a very big park. There is a bungee jumping spot. I really want to go there, but it doesn't look high, and it's winter.

By Teresa Tsai |

Staying at Buzz Lightyear Hostel in Xinghai Park, you won’t be bored every day because there are lively cats to chase.

The nearby convention center has a five-pointed star shape. The nearby suspension bridge is quite beautiful, with the August 13th moon on the bridge tower.

By Sister Ya |

It's located on the edge of Xinghai Square, along the coastline. We also cut a lot of kelp. There's also bungee jumping.

There used to be a big castle in Xinghai Square, which was a shell museum. Later, when I graduated, it was demolished and converted into a hotel. It’s a pity, but Xinghai Square is beautiful and deserves to be the largest square in Asia.

By Clarence Chang |

To be honest, after experiencing bungee jumping, Xinghai Park gave me a different experience and gain.

By licy |

Xinghai Park is really not that great. The bathing area is covered in rocks, making it hard to rest your feet. The environment is also not good. Maybe the free bathing area in the park is unmanaged, as there is trash everywhere. There is only one bungee jumping area, which is extremely expensive at 240 yuan, and they won't lower the price.

By tracyFeLix |

This park is located next to Xinghai Square and is also near Sun Asia Ocean World. It's popular with children. You can get a glimpse of the surrounding scenery from the Ferris wheel. You can also experience bungee jumping in the sea. Sitting on the shore and watching the sea is also a good option.

By Sweet |

When I went there, the International Beer Festival was taking place and the entire square was crowded with people, so I didn't see the whole square, but I saw a Huabiao.

By Zhangyy |

It seems that everyone who has been to Dalian has been to Xinghai Park. It’s nice that there is no entrance fee.

By Little lucky baby |

Xinghai Park is a place of great fame and practical significance. It used to charge an entrance fee, but now it doesn't. Due to the booming real estate industry, Xinghai Park has become a large complex integrating villas and five-star hotels, losing its original character and its role as Dalian's signature. As the Yangtze River's waves push forward, the new always make the old weep. Environmental protection requires the government, as does the preservation of history. We can't deplete our current resources while future generations lose sight of them. I believe sustainable development is also conducive to tourism.

Transportation: There are many buses to Xinghai Park, such as No. 901 and No. 16.

By Good morning |

The first attraction I visited in Dalian, the natural scenery is beautiful and the children will have a lot of fun~

By XiaoJourney |

Xinghai Park is at the end of Binhai East Road. It is a leisure area for everyone at night. It is OK to watch the night view of the sea here.

By Lu Xiaoying |

I came here for bungee jumping. Both the electric car and bungee jumping are great. The scenery here is also good. It's worth a stroll~
