Xinghai Park is situated on the southwestern side of Dalian City and borders Xinghai Bay from which it takes its name. This natural paradise comprises an 800-meter-long stretch of sand and a massive park area that's decorated with beautiful flowers and foliage. Visitors can reach the cliff tops for a panoramic view of the bay.

The park attracts many visitors as it is a heaven of tranquility as well as offering excellent facilities for bathing from its safe beach where the water is neither too deep nor subject to other than moderate waves. As well as the natural beauty of the park the visitors will be drawn to the architectural delights of the Qile Pavilion, Wanghai Pavilion and Yingchao Pavilion that are connected by cobblestone footpaths.

With fine sand and moderate waves, the beach is ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Not far from the beach is a small, rocky island which, according to a local legend, marks the spot where an army of cuttlefish triumphed over the sharks in a major ancient battle. Locals believe that the area will never again be troubled by sharks, and is thus a safe spot for swimmers.

Cliffs tower above the sea at the eastern and western ends of the park and the cliff tops present stunning views across the bay where sea and sky blend together on the distant horizon. The Tanhai Cave can be seen in the eastern cliffs. The name of the cave means 'exploring the sea' and as you descend the steps within it you will find the sea-spray rising at your feet, a truly amazing sight!

Another feature in the park is the Sun Asia Ocean World where you can observe many of the often bizarre creatures that live in the sea. This aquarium is the first in China to have an underwater tunnel from which you can see the marine life at close quarters. In addition you will see the world's first underwater pyramid, city and flying saucer in this remarkable marine world! This is the only museum in China dedicates to a fine collection of fossils from all over the world, each one being several hundred million years old.

The park is known for its fantastic getaway feel and amusement park rides that include a giant ferries wheel. It is a fantastic park and a must-seeing park.
