Situated in the central part of the southern seashore of Dalian City, Laohutan Ocean Park is the biggest modern lido in China with a total area of 1,180,000 square meters (about 291 acres) and a coastline of more than 4,000 meters (about 13,123 feet). It's an AAAAA national tourist spot situated in south of the city. The name of Tiger Beach comes from a beautiful legend, yet the actual versions you hear from the locals vary.

In the Park, many attractive natural sceneries and magnificent man-made sights can be seen, especially the Tigers Sculpture Square and Laohutan Polar Region Marine Animals World. As a modern ocean park, Laohutan Ocean Park is one specializing in tourism, recreation, shopping and so on and is regarded as the Dalian people's favorite park.

Tigers Sculpture Square
Covering an area of 15,700 square meters (about 4 acres), the square was designed in an irregular shape, not a traditional circular shape. Tigers sculpture, designed by the famous Chinese painter and sculptor - Mr. Han Meilin, is the symbol of Laohutan Ocean Park. The sculpted tigers are 35.5-meter-long (about 116 feet), 6.5-meter-high (about 21 feet) and 6.5-meter-wide and took Mr. Han two years and nine months to finish this great work. Heading eastward, the six tigers are all different in shapes and sizes. They roar into the wind expressing their power as the King of Beasts. The Tigers Sculpture Square is the most beautiful and florid among many squares in Dalian.
