Well, what to say? Another nice, large and open square in China. Of course this one is very close to the sea, which on a good day makes it nicer then many others. However there is a small amusement park nearby, way overpriced for all the tourists that come there. If you are eating in the area, its worth while... More

Came on a Saturday afternoon in May. The square was covered by mist and hence visibility was very poor. We could hardly see the sea. Do we are unable to share positive comments other than a few items like the Centenary monument with footprints that we were able to see at close range.

Nice place to walk around. Big open spaces, and on the water. Lots of luxury condos springing up all over this area.

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
