Xinghai Square, located on Dalian's southern coast, is a sprawling urban plaza that serves as both a civic gathering space and a popular tourist destination. Covering an area of 1.1 million square meters, it is one of the largest city squares in the world. The square is centered around a striking white marble sculpture called the 'Book of Heaven' or 'Sky Book,' which resembles an open book and is surrounded by fountains that dance to music in the evenings. To the south, the square opens onto Xinghai Bay, offering panoramic views of the sea and the distant mountains. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront promenade, watch locals flying kites or rollerblading, and enjoy the cool sea breeze. The square is lined with modern high-rise buildings, including the Dalian World Expo Center, and is especially lively at night when the fountains are illuminated. It's a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Dalian's modern, open character.
