Tongniu Ridge of Development Zone

Tongniu Ridge of Development Zone is a peaceful park and nature area in Dalian's Economic and Technological Development Zone. The park is named after a prominent ox statue (Tongniu means 'copper ox') that sits atop a ridge, offering sweeping views of the surrounding coastline and cityscape. Visitors can climb gentle paths through pine forests and rocky outcrops to reach the statue, which is a popular photo spot. The area is less crowded than Dalian's main tourist sites, making it ideal for a quiet afternoon hike or picnic. From the ridge, you can see the Yellow Sea, the bustling port, and the modern skyline of the Development Zone. The park is well-maintained with paved walkways and benches, and in spring, wildflowers dot the hillsides. It's a favorite spot for locals to exercise, fly kites, or watch the sunset.

Ein Stück Geschichte

Tongniu Ridge was developed as a public park in the early 2000s as part of Dalian's urban greening efforts. The copper ox statue was installed to symbolize strength and prosperity for the Development Zone, which was established in 1984 as a special economic area.
